Utah State has had some strong teams in recent years. Last season they were led by a great senior QB in Chuckie Keaton, but he and a lot of others from that team have moved on. Meanwhile, BYU has a pretty good QB of their own in Taysom Hill, who has his Cougars team on the radar at 4-0. Hill is the consummate dual-threat QB with six TD passes and seven rushing TDs in four games. The Cougars passed their biggest road game with flying colors at Texas, taking down the Longhorns methodically on both sides of the ball in a 41-7 romp. The Cougars are on a mission and have winnable road tests at Central Florida and Boise State left, and this team could be 12-0 come time for the selection of the Final Four. Utah State lost at Arkansas State and were thrashed at Tennessee, so hopes of staying within reach winning don't bode well here as a big dog. The Cougars have claimed ownership in the ranks of the Mountain West where they are 10-1 ATS in their last 11, and nothing here speaks of change. Lay the points on BYU.
