SEATTLE — BYU and Utah are in the thick of Pac-12 North territory this weekend and they’ll have all they can handle. The Cougars take on the league’s darling, No. 11-ranked Washington. The Utes have to deal with Mike Leach, a national treasure quote machine whose teams have become masters of bulk passing.
Washington is favored by 17 over BYU and the Utes are picked by a point or two over Washington State.
Ironically, the key to both of these games is the same. Utah and BYU need to be more effective in the passing game. They need to find consistency, effectiveness, and efficiency.
