UCLA @ BYU
Prediction: UCLA 26 BYU 23
When BYU has the ball
In the S&P+ advanced statistical rankings (which take strength of schedule into consideration), BYU is in the middle of the pack, ranked 51st, when it comes to offensive efficiency. When it comes to offensive explosiveness, however, BYU is ranked 123rd.
Fortunately for BYU, UCLA is ranked just 64th in the S&P+ on defense, so this should be a considerably easier matchup for the BYU offense than last week when it faced the fourth ranked defense.
