Summary

After taking the weekend off, BYU enters the final stretch of the season with its home finale this weekend.

Idaho had its bye a couple of weeks ago, and it was quite eventful — for all the wrong reasons.

The school fired head coach Robb Akey, promoted Jason Gesser to interim head coach, and dismissed starting quarterback Dominique Blackman and linebacker Conrad Scheidt for having failed three drug tests.

Idaho is coming off a 42-13 loss to San Jose State. The Vandals have also been drubbed by Louisiana State (63-14), North Carolina (66-0), and Louisiana Tech (70-28). Idaho's lone win was a 26-18 decision against New Mexico State.

The Vandals rank among the worst teams in the FBS in rushing yards (No. 122), scoring offense (No. 123) and points allowed (No. 121).

This is the most dangerous part of the BYU schedule because blowout wins over lesser opponents will lead to claims that the team has really progressed and deficiencies that were exposed vs. quality teams will not be addressed.

Prediction: byu will beat Idaho by 30+ and byu fans will claim Idaho is better than every PAC 12 team save Oregon. Byu fans will then claim they deserve a top 25 ranking and they have potential to go undefeated next year. Utah fans will get on here More..
