If you think BYU will gain more than 446 yards, give us the difference as a POSITIVE number.

If you think BYU will allow MORE yards on defense, give us the difference as a POSITIVE number. For example, if you think USU will gain 120 yards, your answer is '+4'.

I will do the whole square root and log thing on the last two figures.

Go like this:

BYU xx
USU xx
BYU total offense diff. xx
BYU total defense diff. xx
BYU 44
USU 10

BYU total offensive diff: -10
BYU total defensive diff: +60
