“We just need to come hard and believe we can get to the quarterback,” said Hadley. “We know it’s something we do well and we have to believe that, even though they haven’t given up a sack, we can provide a bigger challenge than anyone has so far this season.”
Outlook
BYU will need to maintain good pressure and cornerbacks, particularly Jordan Johnson, will have to prove more effective in tackling in the open field as Boise likes to throw a lot of bubble screens out in the flat. Overall BYU should be able to limit the Broncos below their season average through the air.
Prediction
Even though the team is saying all the right things, recovering from such a devastating loss a week ago to Utah isn't easy. Look for some emotional hangover in this game and for Boise State to take advantage of the Cougar’s current mental state. Boise State isn’t an easy place to play under any circumstances, and BYU will have a tough time coming out of there with a win.
Score: Boise State 24, BYU 13

Now that your season is over(since you're not an AQ BCS team and since won't be playing in the Rose Bowl like big brother) wouldnt reason suggest to prepare for next year by not playing any senior the rest of the season?
Or is a More..
While the tone is probably snarkier than necessary, I do agree with Chris B's sentiment, BYU really needs to get serious about getting in a conference again, their current contract/schedule situation pretty much means that if you're 11-1 or More..
Last week the cougs were favored over the utes, and the predictions didn't happen. The cougs were one inch from tying the game and a hundred yards better on offense.
This week, the under dog wins again.
