Can BYU Keep Rolling? UCF Looking for an Upset in Provo
BYU is on fire, sitting pretty at 11-0 and ranked among the top 15 teams in the country. This week, the Cougars face a tough test in the form of the UCF Knights, a team that's always dangerous and looking to pull off a major upset. The game is a must-win for BYU if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive.
UCF's Offense is No Joke
The Knights boast a potent offense, led by quarterback John Rhys Plumlee. He's a dual-threat quarterback who can make plays both with his arm and his legs, and he's got a bunch of talented receivers who can make big plays downfield. If the BYU defense isn't on top of their game, UCF could put up some serious points.
BYU's Offense is Exploding
The Cougars have been scoring points like it's going out of style, thanks to the explosive play of their quarterback, Kedon Slovis. He's got a cannon for an arm and is connecting with his receivers at an impressive rate. The offensive line has been doing a great job of protecting him and giving him time to throw. This is the kind of offense that can keep UCF on their heels all game long.
The Battle in the Trenches Will be Crucial
This game could come down to the battle in the trenches. The team that can establish dominance in the running game and protect their quarterback will have a huge advantage. BYU has the edge in size and experience, but UCF has a scrappy, hungry group that will be looking to punch above their weight.
Prediction Time!
This is a tough game to call. BYU has been playing like a machine, but UCF is a team that can't be taken lightly. I think BYU's offense will be too much for UCF to handle, but I expect the Knights to keep it close.
Final Score: BYU 34, UCF 27
This game is going to be a barn burner so be sure to tune in and watch the action unfold!
