Btw, I didn't read spaz's post before I made my guess.

Color me confused.

Texas A&M gave up 4.1 YPA to UNM. The question was how many yards BYU's D would give up in relation to A&M. So as I understand it, if BYU gives up 4.1 ypa, that would be zero difference.

Am I missing something?

guess how many yards per pass attempt BYU will give up in relation to Texas A&M. If BYU gives up less yards, please express that as a positive number (easier for me to enter). If BYU gives up more yards, then express the difference as a negative number.

My feeling is that UNM's been awful the last two games passing the ball, to the tune of 1.6 YPA & 3.4 YPA. Given BYU's typical energetic play at home, combined with wet conditions & an awful passing game, my guess is they'll be at about 4.1 YPA.

These scenarios are growing more ridiculous each week. This week's is bizarre.

I will just go old school and go for the score.

BYU 42
UNM 17

Also, for my own purposes, I predict that the announced attendance will be 62,920.
