Result: Loss
Point Spread: 2.00 | -107.00 LA Chargers (Away)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* play on the BYU Cougars.
The Cougars were in the discussion as a potential long shot playoff contender after winning their first four games. They lost QB Taysom Hill to a broken leg in their fifth game of the season, and that started a downward spiral that saw them lose their next four games. Backup Christian Stewart found his stride in the final month of the season, and he would lead the Cougars to four straight wins in their final four games.
Stewart threw 14 touchdown passes and just one interception in those games, and his best game might have been on the road at Cal. He threw for 433 yards and five TDs, eliminating the Bears from bowl eligibility.
Memphis gets a lot of respect for it's 5th ranked defense that allowed only 17.1 points per game during the regular season, but they had a pretty soft schedule. They closed out the season on a six game winning streak, but not one of those opposing teams had a winning record.
One of their three losses came against the Houston Cougars, a team that BYU was able to defeat by a score of 33-25 in Provo. I like what I saw from the Cougars at the end of the season, and I think Memphis is just a bit overrated.
Take BYU.
