Picks for Veterans Eve

It's Veterans Day and let me begin with a big salute to all those currently serving and promise you that life can get better once you're out here.  I wish you all the best.

Here are the Veteran's Day picks


Idaho at BYU

This game will be a failure for the Cougars if they are not able to bench each and every one of their starters at half time and if they do not win by at least 6 touchdowns.  And if Idaho does win, I will be happy to eat crow.

56-3 BYU

Utah at Washington

The Utes have their back against the wall, but the offense is playing better.  Not exactly a must win game, but close to it.  Washington is very good on defense, not as good as Utah, but very good.  The Utes can win if they can score multiple touchdowns.  Reggie Dunn, defense or the old fashioned way, just get the job done.  Two touchdowns and the Utes win.

14-10 Utah

Southern Utah at Northern Arizona

The Thunderbirds have arrived at the end of the season.  Grand Canyon Cup time.  (At least that is what I call it).  NAU has the inside track to the Big Sky Conference Championship.  SUU is here to play spoiler.  Doug Fullerton is hoping for a Lumberjack victory or he may not reach his goal of seeing 4 BSC teams in the post-season.  The T-birds should relish that role.  They have played everyone close this year, but have been inconsistent in ending games strong.  Someone besides Brad Sorensen needs to come through or they will come up just short yet again.

35-33 Jacks

Northern Colorado at Weber State

Is it basketball season yet?  All kidding aside, this is the last home game for Mike Hoke and a group of other seniors and that is both good and bad news.  I wish that we could have a do over on this one.  And by the start of next season, Bo Bolen will be back from his mission.  Yea!  If the 'Cats lose, Jody Sears will be officially not be coming back next year.

28-24 WSU
