Prediction
BYU can run the ball, which could certainly make things tough for Virginia. Virginia can get eaten up by teams that can run the ball, and teams that can run the ball can also keep the ball away from Brennan Armstrong and the UVA offense. Odd stat comes into play here: BYU averages 28:27 possession time per game. It’s UVA, the quick-strike team, that averages more than 31 minutes of possession per contest. The pressure is on BYU to keep up, and I’m not sure that a ball-control offense with a game-manager QB will be able to keep up. Should be a fun one out west, but the ‘Hoos will have too much down the stretch. Prediction: Virginia 45, BYU 28.
