BYU Football: Way-too-early game-by-game predictions for 2022
By Kathryn Rose
Dan Lanning takes over an Oregon team demolished by departures.
Of course, there’s Kayvon Thibodeaux on the edge, whose athletic ability was beyond anything his peers could imagine. Behind him, Verone McKinley III was a little anchor in the secondary, understanding and reading plays well.
As bad as the defense has been hit, the offense’s exit door has been working even better. Quarterback Anthony Brown, running backs CJ Verdell and Travis Dye, and receiver Devon Williams are all gone.
At least there’s Noah Sewell aiding Lanning’s defense with game-breaking talent. Still, it’s not enough, and BYU wins by double digits in Autzen.
Final Score: BYU 31, Oregon 20 (BYU 3-0)
It is hard to believe that Craig Bohl has been at Wyoming for nearly a decade. After multiple national championships at North Dakota State, he came to Wyoming and provided stability for the program.
Unfortunately for Bohl, almost all the big contributors from last year are gone. Among those is heat-seeking missile Chad Muma at linebacker, and the mesmerizing Isaiah Neyor at receiver.
The Cougars should come out with a comfortable win.
Final Score: BYU 38, Wyoming 10 (BYU 4-0)
