BYU game day
Today, 8 p.m.
LaVell Edwards Stadium
TV: Ch. 14 Radio: 1160AM, 102.7FM
Last week: CSU beat Utah, 21-17. BYU beat New Mexico, 27-24.
Last meeting: 2004, BYU won 31-21 at Fort Collins, Colo.
Trends to watch: Only four times in the 63-year history of the BYU-CSU series has the combined score been below 29 points. Since 1983, they have averaged a combined 55.8 points per game.
Players to watch: BYU tight end Jonny Harline has settled in as the team's top receiver the past two games with more than 200 yards receiving. BYU QB John Beck leads the MWC with 1,734 passing yards. CSU's Justin Holland is the MWC's most accurate passer and Ram running back Kyle Bell averages 5.6 yards per rush.
Cougars will win if . . . their offense can help out the defense by repeating the fireworks shown against TCU in the first MWC game in LaVell Edwards Stadium (614 total yards).
Extra points: This game matches the league's two top offenses but also two of the worst defenses. The Rams rank 97th in the nation in rushing defense, 95th in pass-efficiency defense, 85th in scoring defense, 97th in total defense and 72nd in pass defense. The Cougars rank 84th in rushing defense, 52nd in pass-efficiency defense, 78th in total defense, 74th in scoring defense and 67th in pass defense.
