Northern Iowa vs. BYU Preview

The season opener ... it should be a win and good start to the season. Should is the key word and although there was a shocker in Ann Arbor, there are numerous other games that are routes. I believe Bronco will have the troops ready to go and the Cougars will get a win.

If the offense is consistent and the defense stuffs that run the Cougs should dominate. UNI's strength lies in their running game, so if BYU is able to shut down the running game it could be over by halftime.

PLAYERS TO WATCH: Max Hall - while this game might not be too telling to how much he has progressed, it should give us a flavor of his leadership and presence on the field. Look for Hall to hit Reed, Collie and Pitta a lot in the early going and probably not throw many balls in the second half.

PREDICTION: BYU 44 UNI 13
