1. BYU gets the shutout

Despite having a solid defense, BYU hasn’t pitched a single shutout this season but that’s all going to change on Saturday afternoon.

The Cougars came close against Western Kentucky, holding the Hilltoppers to just one touchdown and a field goal. They also held Navy to just three points in the opener and Troy to only seven a couple of weeks later. This defense is capable of keeping teams out of the end zone, especially one from the FCS which hasn’t won a single game yet.

On top of that, North Alabama is averaging just 12.3 points per game against teams like Liberty, Jacksonville State and Southern Miss. That’s not going to cut it against the Cougars.

BYU is going to dominate offensively with five Zach Wilson touchdowns and another from Tyler Allgeier but that won’t be all the scoring the Cougars will do. This game will get out of control early and BYU will end up with a 63-0 win.
