Score prediction: 52 BYU - 7 WKU
WKU's only points will come from their defense.
Joe Wheat
Score prediction: 42 BYU - 3 WKU
BYU will take care of business. The Cougars just have too much firepower on both sides of the ball and will overwhelm the Hilltoppers from the start. I expect both Zach Wilson and Tyler Allgeier to feast for a half, and for WKU to struggle to move the ball against a stout BYU front. At the end of it all, the hardest fought battle between BYU and WKU in 2020 will remain a mascot poll on Twitter.
Casey Lundquist
Score prediction: 41 BYU - 10 WKU
Western Kentucky has a decent defense that could create some challenges for BYU's high-powered offense. However, the Hilltopper's offense might be the worst offense that BYU has faced this season. WKU won't have the firepower to keep up with BYU on Halloween night.
