BYU at Navy 9/7/20 - NCAA Football

The opening weekend of the 2020 College Football season will conclude with an intriguing matchup between the BYU Cougars and the Navy Midshipmen. The independent Cougars lost several marquee games on their schedule due to COVID-19 and have the talent to run through their increasingly less difficult modified slate of games. Junior QB Zach Wilson returns to lead the offense, after throwing for 2,382 and 11 touchdowns a season ago.

Head coach Kalani Sitake returns his entire offensive line and senior TE Matt Bushman will be counted on to be the top receiving threat. The BYU defense ranked 78th in the nation in rushing defense and allowed 167.5 yards per game in 2019.

The Navy Midshipmen are coming off a successful 2019 campaign that saw them win 11 games, including a 20-17 Liberty Bowl victory against Kansas State. The Midshipmen run the triple option for 14th year head coach Ken Niumatalolo and averaged 37.2 points per contest. Navy will have to replace QB Malcolm Perry, who led his team to a national best 360.5 yards rushing per game in 2019.

Junior FB Jamale Carothers will be counted on to pick up the slack offensively, after rushing for 734 yards and 14 touchdowns. The Navy defense returns six starters from a defense that limited opponents to 22.3 points per game last year.

Look for BYU to pull away in the second half for a ten-point victory. Final Score Prediction, BYU Cougars win and cover ATS 31-21.
