This is a 10* GAME OF THE WEEK on BYU.

Navy was 11-2 last year, but regression is imminent with Malcom Perry gone from under center. Dalen Morris has extreme upside, but I have a hard time seeing him coming in and immediately putting up the same numbers as Perry (37.2 PPG last year.)

BYU returns QB Zach Wilson, who had 2,382 passing yards, 11 TD's and nine INT's. Wilson should improve dramatically on those numbers in his senior season. 15 starters in total return, including eight on the offensive side.

All three top RB's return for the Cougars. The defense has been a strong point the last two seasons as well for BYU, allowing 21.4 and 25.5 PPG the last two season's.

Navy's triple option attack is going to be potent again, but BYU has had plenty of time to prepare for it. Facing a triple option attack in the middle of the year is a little more difficult without enough time to prepare, but this is different in the first game of the season.

Wilson, a solid running game and an "on par" defense make the COUGARS the correct call in this one in my opinion!

Good luck, NP
