Ep 34. Middle Tennessee at BYU

Middle Tennessee travels westward to take on Brigham Young University in the 34th episode of the 16th season of ESPN's College Football Thursday Primetime.

Both teams come into the game with impressive records, with Middle Tennessee sitting at 7-1 and BYU at 8-1. The Blue Raiders have had a strong season, with their only loss coming against a tough North Carolina team. They will look to continue their winning ways behind quarterback Asher O'Hara, who has thrown for over 1,800 yards and rushed for over 500 yards this season. Running back Chaton Mobley has also been a key contributor, rushing for over 600 yards and seven touchdowns.

On the other side of the ball, BYU has been dominant this season, with their only loss coming against a highly ranked Coastal Carolina team. Led by quarterback Zach Wilson, who has thrown for over 2,700 yards and 26 touchdowns this season, the Cougars' offense has been unstoppable. Running back Tyler Allgeier has also been a standout player, rushing for over 800 yards and nine touchdowns.

Both teams have shown they can put up big numbers on offense, so this game could turn into a shootout. However, it will also be a battle of defenses, as both Middle Tennessee and BYU have shown they can get stops and force turnovers.

Middle Tennessee will need to find a way to slow down BYU's high-powered offense if they want to come out with a win. The Blue Raiders' defense will need to put pressure on Wilson and force him into making mistakes. They will also need to contain Allgeier and not let him break loose for big gains.

For BYU, they will need to continue doing what they have done all season long. Wilson will need to continue putting up big numbers and spreading the ball around to his playmakers. The Cougars' defense will also need to have a strong showing and not let Middle Tennessee's offense get into a rhythm.

This game could have major implications for both teams, as they look to finish the season strong and possibly earn a spot in a bowl game. It will be a battle of two strong teams, and fans can expect an exciting game with plenty of scoring and big plays. Tune in to ESPN's College Football Thursday Primetime to catch all the action.
