BYU Football: 3 reasons the Cougars will beat UCF in Boca Raton Bowl

1. UCF’s defense won’t be able to stop Zach Wilson

Central Florida hasn’t quite seen an offense like BYU’s this season nor a quarterback like Zach Wilson and the Knights still allowed an average of 283 passing yards per game.

That’s not going to cut it on Tuesday night against the Cougars. UCF’s defense will have its hands full against the Cougars and Wilson who will go off for over 400 yards and six touchdowns against because, well, the Knights don’t have a defense with a pulse.

If you’re Wilson, you have to feel good about Tuesday’s matchup between non-Power Five powers and the matchup definitely favors the Cougars.

Dillon Gabriel has to go against a BYU defense that ranks near the top of college football while Wilson gets to face a unit that is one of the worst in the country.

The advantage here goes to Wilson and the Cougars.
