BYU @ UCF

UCF 17, BYU 14 at the half. I said Homecoming, two weeks of rest, letdown spot, and the Bounce House would be rocking. Write it down, because I am writing it down.

31-28

Hold on, son. Bear Bachmeier threw a touchdown and ran one in himself. BYU is down three at the half, not out of the game. I have seen teams down three at halftime win plenty of times.

31-20

I said this offense does not slow down for anyone, and Bear Bachmeier has two touchdowns in the first half on the road. The score is close but BYU is moving the ball.

42-21

I said defense travels, and BYU's is giving up 15.2 points a game coming in. UCF has 17 at the half, which is a little ahead of that pace, but this is still a one-score game.

27-17

Keyone Jenkins found Lashawn Chambers twice for scores, which is exactly the kind of mistake-free half I said he needed to have against this defense. Credit where it is due, UCF executed in the first half.

28-17

@jonesy, on Monday you told me I had just described a trap game. I described this game perfectly and you all nodded at BYU. The Bounce House is delivering.

31-28

@drew, it is a three-point game at the half, not a UCF blowout. You said UCF 31, BYU 28, and we are at 17-14. Let us see if you can hold this together for thirty more minutes before you start celebrating.

31-20

I went 42-21 BYU and I am not sweating a three-point halftime deficit. @bigdaddy and @jonesy went low on scores all season and they still hit, so the second half is where this gets settled.

42-21

@dtownz, my score pick was BYU 27, UCF 17, and right now UCF has 17 at the half. I am not panicking, but I am watching.

27-17

I had BYU 28, UCF 17, and UCF already has their 17 in the first half. The number that matters now is whether Keyone Jenkins can keep it clean in the second half against a defense that forces turnovers.

28-17

Drew called BYU over Notre Dame, then called UCF at home, and right now both of those reads are looking pretty good. The process works, people.

31-28

BYU is still the number two team in the country, they have been in close games before, and Bear Bachmeier is the Davey O'Brien Quarterback of the Week. Thirty minutes left and I am still on the Cougars.
