“They’re going to shut down UCF’s running game,” Desmond Howard said of why he’s choosing BYU.

“I think BYU is all over this one,” Nick Saban added.

This marks the fourth time a BYU game has reached the “Saturday Selections” portion of College Gameday. Kirk Herbstreit has consistently favored BYU.

Every time BYU ends up in the Saturday picks bracket on Gameday, Herbstreit picks the Cougs.

“I think Jake Retzlaff will find a way to win this game,” Herbstreit said.

Earlier in the show, Stanford Steve picked UCF to cover the spread.

Along with Stanford Steve, Lee Corso picked UCF to take down BYU. Earlier in the College Gameday broadcast, Corso and his 1979 Indiana Hoosiers team were honored. They were the team that defeated undefeated BYU in the 1979 Holiday Bowl.

Corso has shown a tendency to pick against BYU this season. Earlier this year, he picked Baylor to beat BYU when the Cougars were on the road.

BYU enters today’s matchup at 7-0 overall and 4-0 in the Big 12. UCF has lost its past four games and is 1-3 in Big 12 action.
