00:00the Big 12 a little bit more

00:06certainty. Let's go to Provo

00:07late night. Lacey Guy, Kansas

00:09State 13th in the country. Now,

00:11a legitimate Big 12 contender

00:13less than a touchdown favorite

00:14though against the Cougs of BYU

00:17who were just a two and seven

00:19Big 12 team last year straight

00:21up in their first year in

00:23conference play but catching

00:24less than a touchdown at home

00:26in Provo. What the Kalani

00:28Sataki and the boys have

00:29watched. I think they could be a

00:30live dog in regards to this

00:31matchup. I really do. I'm sorry

00:34but late night in Provo,

00:35strange things happen. Now, we

00:37know about BYU's offense

00:38averaging 289 passing yards per

00:41game but they're very good in

00:42the secondary as well. Holding

00:43opposing offenses to only a

00:45buck 30. I understand certain

00:47competition but they beat SMU

00:49in regards to that road matchup

00:5018 to 15. Very sound defense.

00:53They forced quarterbacks to

00:54methodically work down the

00:55field and Avery Johnson and that

00:57passing attack and Lee averaging

00:58a buck 67. Giddens and Johnson

01:00are going to have to get after

01:01it as it relates to the rushing

01:03attack especially on the road.

01:06I think this game goes right

01:07down to the wire. I know on

01:09paper Kansas State might be the

01:10better team Kev but I'm going to

01:12take the points with BYU. I do

01:14like the over though. That is my

01:16best play out of both. I like

01:17BYU but I think we get points

01:19of plenty in terms of this

01:20matchup. I was on K-State

01:22coming into this show and then

01:23all of a sudden a Joe Lacey

01:24style ear to the ground

01:25statement game developed. I

01:26love Kansas State. Maybe my

01:28favorite. Listen, here's kind of

01:30the selling point on Kansas

01:32State. Is BYU being massively

01:35overrated? Rarely is these

01:37trendy dog, I'm the sharpest man

01:39in the room spots. Oh, BYU is

01:413-0. Nobody is talking about

01:42them. Yeah, because they beat

01:44SMU who is terrible and massively

01:47overrated coming into the

01:48season and Wyoming who is

01:50absolutely atrocious. One of the

01:53worst teams relative to

01:54expectations we've seen all

01:56year. Let's do a little spread

01:58math, shall we? Tulane or BYU?

02:00Green Wave, not even a doubt in

02:01my mind. This is three points

02:02shorter than when K-State went

02:04and played the Green Wave. And

02:05we say weird things happen in

02:06Provo. Tulane has been an

02:08absolute monster machine at home

02:10and K-State still won that game

02:12by a touchdown. Their win over

02:13Arizona I think is one of the

02:15most impressive we've seen all

02:16college football season. Gave up

02:18a touchdown in the opening

02:19drive, not a single point from

02:20that moment forward. We've seen

02:22it defensively and look for

02:23Avery Johnson. I'm going a

02:25different style this week. Go

02:26for the loot. Certainly not

02:27back to the roots. But Avery

02:28Johnson would have ended the

02:29two-plunge touchdown man here.

02:31BYU gave up double touchdowns to

02:33SIU's quarterback, DJ Williams,

02:35and the real Rola, Evan

02:36Sabota, put two on the ground

02:37against them despite only they

02:38scoring 14. Also threw another

02:40pick, 156 yards and two passing

02:42touchdowns for the Pop-Tarts

02:44Bowl MVP, Avery Johnson. But

02:4617 attempts on the ground for

02:48110 yards. BYU last year gave up

02:51178 yards per game on the

02:53ground. Third worst in the Big

02:5512. A big test tonight against

02:57Kansas State who, oh, by the

02:59way, under Chris Kleiman, who

03:00became the head coach in the

03:01Little Apple in 2019. 29, 15,

03:04and three against the spread in

03:06Big 12 play. It is the second

03:08best cover percentage over FBS

03:10programs in that entire span in

03:13conference action. Only Navy at

03:1527 and 13 against the number is

03:17a better cover team in

03:19conference play.
