ESPN GameDay analysts unanimously lacked confidence in Arizona versus BYU on Saturday. The regular ESPN GameDay analysts Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee and Nick Saban, with celebrity guest picker, WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu, all picked BYU to beat Arizona.
The picks from the ESPN GameDay analysts varied. Howard predicts BYU to roll over Arizona. Saban predicts that the BYU defense will travel. Ionescu stated the Cougars will keep their undefeated season alive. McAfee and Herbstreit both mentioned BYU quarterback Bear Bachmeier.
McAfee did not like the trend of everyone picking BYU and Herbstreit stated Arizona is the first real test for BYU.
