On Saturday night, BYU traveled to Laramie and took down the Wyoming Cowboys 34-14. The Cougars outgained the Cowboys 458-217, including 353 total yards of offense from Jake Retzlaff. BYU came into the game as a 9.5-point favorite. With the 20-point victory, BYU moved to 3-0 against the spread this season.

BYU’s offense got off to a quick start, quickly driving 50 yards down the field in seven plays before Retzlaff took a shot downfield to Kody Epps that was intercepted. The read was right – Epps had a step, but that ball was underthrown, culminating in another turnover from Jake Retzlaff.

Following a three-and-out from the Wyoming offense, BYU got the ball back and marched 44 yards for the score. Retzlaff found a wide open Keanu Hill for the 20-yard touchdown to give BYU a 7-0 lead.

After exchanging a few punts, the BYU offense took the field again and marched 74 yards in nine plays for the touchdown to take the 14-0 lead. Retzlaff found a wide open Kody Epps for the score.

On the ensuing drive, Wyoming’s offense showed signs of life, marching 75 yards for the score to cut into BYU’s lead and make it 14-7.

Just before halftime, a 49-yard field goal from Will Ferrin put BYU ahead 17-7.

The second half kicked off with some fireworks. BYU wide receiver Keelan Marion took back the second half kickoff 100 yards for the touchdown. That was the first BYU kickoff return for a touchdown since Adam Hine took one back against Virginia in 2014. At that point, BYU had complete control of the game.

A second field goal from Will Ferrin gave BYU a 27-7 lead with 09:42 remaining in the third quarter.

BYU’s last touchdown drive of the game was a 5 play, 77-yard drive that ended in a 20-yard touchdown pass from Jake Retzlaff to Darius Lassiter. That throw, in this author’s opinion, was Jake Retzlaff’s best throw of the night. Retzlaff calmly evaded the rush, stepped up into the pocket, remained under control, and threw a strike to Lassiter for the score.

Wyoming scored a late touchdown to cut into the lead and make it 34-14. Gerry Bohanon got the final drive for BYU, going 57 yards and running out the six minutes remaining on the game clock.

On Saturday night, Kalani Sitake and the BYU football program renew and old conference matchup against the Wyoming Cowboys. The Cougars are looking to remain undefeated, while the Cowboys are looking for their first win of the season following an 0-2 start. Today, we’re predicting BYU’s final non-conference game of the 2024 season at Wyoming.

The Cowboys have not been good in the first two weeks. In fact, they have been downright dreadful. Wyoming ranks in the bottom 25 of the country in the following metrics:

The Cougars are favored by double digits in this game and they should be. BYU’s offense hasn’t been perfect, farm from it, but the defense has been excellent. If BYU takes care of the football, they should win this game by multiple scores.

After dominating Southern Illinois, BYU’s offense took a step back against SMU, turning the ball over three times and putting up only 18 points. The game against Wyoming will give the BYU offense an opportunity to get back to moving the football and scoring points. BYU and quarterback Jake Retzlaff need to show well. They need to get into a rhythm heading into conference play next week. Retzlaff will get the start against the Cowboys, but it’s unclear how long his leash will be if he struggles with turnovers once again. Last week, BYU’s coaching staff never considered a quarterback change.

The BYU defense has been fantastic and carried the Cougars to a win over the Mustangs. BYU is one of only two defenses to hold a P4 team to no touchdowns in a game this season. The other team is Georgia.

Wyoming fans hate BYU to their core, so the environment will get rowdy. Still, BYU will have too much talent for the home-field advantage to overcome.

As of this writing, BYU is favored by 9.5 points and the over/under is set at 40.5. In other words, oddsmakers expect BYU to win with a final score around 25-15. Vegas doesn’t have a great feel for BYU through two games this season. BYU was a 14-point favorite over Southern Illinois. Here at BYU On SI, we predicted a 28-point win and the Cougars won by 28. BYU was a 12-point underdog against SMU. We predicted a BYU win by 4 points. The Cougars ended up winning by 3.

The predictive models for BYU are still baking in a portion of 2023 results, but BYU is a better team in 2024 than they were in 2023. We like BYU’s chances more than oddsmakers at this point.

BYU is going to beat the spread once again.

We expect a bounce- back performance from Jake Retzlaff after turning the ball over three times against SMU last week. Wyoming has zero takeaways so far this season.

The BYU defense should suffocate a Wyoming offense that hasn’t been able to get anything going this season.
