San Diego State<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Aztecs are off to a good start this year with the only blemish on their record a three point loss to Missouri, no shame in that.\u00a0 Their wins may not be the most impressive but their domination of Utah State 41-7 two weeks ago is looking better and better given Aggies scare of Oklahoma in the opener and their destruction of BYU just last week.\u00a0 BYU should be concerned this week even though they have traditionally handled the Aztecs quite easily.<\/p>\n

The Aztecs are tough to defend because of a high quality passing attack led by a QB most are not familiar with, Ryan Lindley.\u00a0 Lindley is a local kid who had lots of offers but decided to stay close to home.\u00a0 The Aztecs are grateful as this junior is improving every year and from a physical tools perspective might be the best QB in the MWC.\u00a0 He has a great arm and is likely to play on Sundays after his Aztec career is over.<\/p>\n

Lindley also has one of the best receiving duos in the nation to throw to.\u00a0 Vincent Brown and DeMarco Sampson, both seniors, are reliable targets competing with each other each week.\u00a0 So far Brown has the edge in catches (20-19) but Sampson is averaging close to 20 yards per reception – they both have two TDs.\u00a0 The fact they have two strong receivers makes the Aztecs very hard to defend as Lindley has multiple options when he drops back.\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This will be a big challenge for the BYU secondary.<\/p>\n

BYU<\/strong><\/p>\n

This season is hardly the swan song that the administration had in mind after announcing that the Cougars would leave the Mountain West Conference.\u00a0 After winning their opener over Washington they have proceeded to lose four in a row.\u00a0 Losing to Air Force, Florida State and Nevada might have been OK but getting dominated by in state rival Utah State was unexpected and unacceptable to the Cougar faithful.<\/p>\n

The Cougars have generally had a very experienced team.\u00a0 Sometimes their players are returning from Mormon missions and it isn\u2019t uncommon to see 22 year old sophomores on the roster.\u00a0 This year one of the challenges that coach Bronco Mendenhall is having is that his team is very young, especially at QB where due to injuries BYU is starting true freshman Jake Heaps.\u00a0 Heaps is very highly touted but thus far that buzz looks unwarranted.\u00a0 It might in time but compared to Cougar signal callers of the past he has been a disaster.<\/p>\n

BYU has dominated the Aztecs recently.\u00a0 They have 4 straight double digit victories in the series and eight wins in the last nine contests between these conference rivals.\u00a0 Despite the current success of fellow MWC programs TCU and Utah, BYU is the program in the conference with the greatest history.\u00a0 Now that they have announced they are leaving to go independent there are a slew of teams looking to beat them down.\u00a0 It will be San Diego State\u2019s turn on Saturday and I like their chances.<\/p>\n

The Pick: <\/strong>It is hard to back a team that is as messy as BYU is these days.\u00a0 That said I thought the spread would be a little smaller here – around a pickem.\u00a0 If it drops I am all over the Aztecs.<\/p>\n
