This week's season finale almost feels like a bowl game - being that the Cougars have already beat the Utes and clinched the MWC title and the fact that it will be December already. If the Cougars play in the Las Vegas Bowl, it's only 3 weeks after Saturday's game.
However slim their chances, they still do have a chance to play in a BCS game. Basically, to have a shot at a BCS berth, the Cougars need to win Saturday and they need UCLA to beat USC, Arizona to beat Arizona State and they need Washington to beat Hawaii. If all those things happen they Cougars would have a shot - still no guarantee.BYU Win Will If ...
They avoid the letdown and play consistent football on offense and defense. The Cougars did play SDSU in San Diego following a home win over Utah in 1989 with Ty Detmer at the helm (as a Sophomore QB too, just like Max Hall). The Cougars had no trouble with the Aztecs on that day, winning 48-27. I expect a similar performance from the Cougars, although not as high scoring ... if they limit SDSU's ability to run the ball and prevent the big plays in the passing game they will win.
Who to Watch ...
Jan Jorgensen - the MWC leader in sacks has been on a roll the past few weeks and look for him to disrupt Kevin O'Connell's ability to find receivers.
Austin Collie - has reeled off 4 straight 100-yard receiving games, including the 49-yard catch to set up the winning score against Utah last week.
Prediction ...
BYU 30 - SDSU 17
