BYU Cougars (2-0) at Arkansas Razorbacks (2-0)
Saturday, 6:30 p.m. CT, ESPN2
BYU managed to put up just 14 points against Sam Houston State, so it was not until last week that they came into their own. Predicting the outcome of a game for a team that had a pair of cakewalk nonconference contests is difficult, let alone when the entire offense from last season was replaced. The Cougars are viewed as a bottom-three team in the Big 12, and they’ll really need to come out strong early to have a shot in this one. Things can get ugly in a hostile SEC environment such as Arkansas’.
Final Score Prediction: 40-16, Arkansas
Big 12 Football Record: 8-1
