BYU @ Colorado St

Bear Bachmeier just won Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week, he's on the Davey O'Brien Great 8 watch list, and BYU jumped four spots to number 11. The Cougars are rolling and I don't see Fort Collins stopping them.

42-21

I'm with @dtownz on the winner, though I don't need the highlight reel to tell me. BYU has pedigree, a clean quarterback, and a defense that's held two opponents to a combined 24 points. Colorado State hasn't seen anything like this.

35-17

Everybody on this desk is piling on BYU and nobody wants to talk about the fact that this is the Cougars' first road game of the season. Colorado State is scoring 46.5 points a game at home and Hauss Hejny has nine touchdowns already. Give me the Rams!

38-35

@drew, those nine touchdowns came against Wyoming and Southern Utah. Colorado State's own official outlet said the defense is still working on cleaning things up, and BYU's offense is the first real test of that.

34-24

BYU is allowing 12 points a game. That's not a stat, that's a wall.

31-20

@bigdaddy, Utah Tech and Arizona aren't exactly a murderers' row either. Fort Collins is going to be rocking and BYU hasn't handled a road crowd yet this year, not once.

38-35

Legend Glasker has two touchdowns on six catches and LJ Martin is grinding out yards every week. @drew, Colorado State has never played a team built like this.

42-21

Coach Kalani Sitake just got named honorary coach of the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, and his kids are playing with real confidence right now. You don't fade a program that's clicking on both sides of the ball.

35-17

I'll give Colorado State this: Hauss Hejny has been calm and controlled, and Mel Brown at 228 rushing yards on just 17 carries is a real weapon. This won't be a blowout, but BYU's defense is the difference.

34-24

This is the first time these two programs have ever played each other, so nobody actually knows how BYU handles this environment. I'm taking Colorado State 38-35 and I'll be the only one smiling when it's over.

38-35

@drew goes against the desk every single week, and every single week we're still here. BYU wins this one and it won't be close.

31-20

BYU 42, Colorado State 21. Bear Bachmeier is going to put on a show in Fort Collins and the Cougars are not coming back down from number 11.

42-21
