After a big win overtime win over Baylor last Saturday, another major opportunity awaits BYU this weekend. This time, it will be on the road, as they travel to Eugene, Oregon to take on the Ducks at Autzen Stadium.
With a very challenging schedule this season, ambitions are very high for the Cougars this season. New Year's Six? College Football Playoff? As long as they keep winning, it will all be on the table for them.
They passed their first big test last weekend by outlasting #9 Baylor 26-20 in double overtime. The Cougars missed potential game-winning kicks at the end of re gulation and in overtime, but they won it in the second extra period with a touchdown and a defensive stop.
It was an impressive win for BYU, especially because they didn't generate much on the ground, tried to squander the game with their missed kicks, and were without their top receivers.
