Washington State at BYU

The Washington State Cougars made a bold move in bringing in controversial coach Mike Leach. He is known for offense, but will have to develop a QB and for now that will be Jeff Tuel. Tuel experineced just two games after breaking his collarbone, and has a couple of good targets, but he might be a few games away from being able to utilize them. Defensively, the Cougars may benefit from the aggressive style of Leach, and the linebacking corp is a good one that can get after the QB. The Cougars' offense is going to be good, but in game 1 it may not be what it was at the end of last seasson. They too have a great linebacking corp that can make tackles and get pressure. This is another total that looks like one to expect at mid-season between these clubs if all comes together, but not in the opener. Play on the UNDER.
