Big noon is the name of the pregame show and the noon Eastern game on Fox

But this year fox is moving where the pregame show to other sites that fox is broadcasting that day for exposure purposes

So pregame from 10am to noon eastern will be from Provo

I don't know if this means we get Gus and Joel or not

[PHXCATS]

We are getting Gus and Joel

Hell yeah

Loving all this exposure.

Now if the team we saw in Utah can just show up...

We're the Homecoming game at undefeated BYU this week. They've won over Southern Illinois and road games at SMU, Wyoming, and Baylor, but the one that catches any Arizona fan's eye is their 38-9 whipping of Kansas St in Provo. Without getting into the whole 'how Vegas oddsmakers balance the gambling when Mormons don't gamble' podcast, it's still hard to swallow 5.5 with an o/u of 50. 10-40 I could see, but I'm a little skeptical we'll come out of there with something like 22-28. We shall see.

My hope is that BYU is due for a loss at some point. If we were good enough to beat Utah on the road, then why not BYU? My biggest worry is all these injuries adding up, especially on the D.

[PHXCATS]

I think Arizona is the more talented and better team when it all gets put together.

My hope is that we have seen issues be corrected

Defense sucked-fixed
Too many penalties-fixed
Play calling-improved

I think the offensive issues can be corrected

As far as Defensive injuries, they are piling up and it hurts depth for sure. Talent is still there in the players playing meaningful snaps

[CalStateTempe]

Question; do I pick BYU in survival pool?

Would gladly take the L there.

Phxcat this isn’t my pick…just pondering. Will put my real pick in the thread

Like someone said here or elsewhere, just use the Fisch playbook. Fifita and T-Mac sure know it. Get the ball out in 3 seconds instead of 4 or 5. Work methodically down the field, and quit going for the homerun ball. Use the center of the field for downfield passing.

The line is down to -3, which suggests even on a neutral field. How in the flying F is this possible?

The sharps must know something we don't. Or maybe the Mo's ain't betting after all.

AGAIN THAT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH IT

Because Arizona is the far more talented team....
