College GameDay Crew picks No. 11 BYU at UCF

No. 11 BYU football is back in action looking to secure an undefeated record. The Cougars are two-point underdogs to the Knights despite UCF losing four straight games. On Saturday morning, College GameDay chose BYU-UCF. Below are their choices, along with comments.

Desmond Howard: BYU

Referring to the betting line, Desmond Howard said, “The Cougars’ disrespect, you guys have to stop it. This is what’s going to happen. They’re going to stop UCF’s running game, which is the best in the conference, and then force them to throw it, causing turnovers.

Nick Saban: BYU

‘I agree with you. I think BYU is all in on this one.”

Pat McAfee: BYU

“I think BYU can handle what UCF is good at. The sportsbooks that make this what it is, I’m very confused. Give me the Mormons to win another great victory.”

Kyle Schwarber (guest selector): BYU

“I’m going with BYU on this one.”

Lee Corso: UCF

“I beat BYU in 1979. I’m going with my hometown UCF.”

Kirk Herbstreit: BYU

“This BYU team, like your team in 1979, may be a team of destiny. They keep finding ways to win games late. I think Jake Retzlaff finds a way again today in a close game.”

BYU and UCF will start at 1:30 PM Mountain Time and 3:30 PM Eastern Time. The game will be broadcast on ESPN.

This is a huge game because of the implications of BYU’s Big 12 title. A win over UCF would give BYU sole possession of first place.
