Utah gained 446 yards.
Usu gained 116 yards.

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 52
usu 10
+41
+123

Byu 41
usu 10

+130

So what are the results of USU and the overall after those results? Did I miss those?

Does anyone "win" anything from these contests? I greatly overestimated BYU with my 58-10 pick. If there are actual prizes out there, I'll take them more seriously.
