BYU is close to a 10-point favorite by prognosticators entering Saturday night’s renewal of an old-school conference rivalry.

Wyoming is searching for its first win of the season (0-2), while BYU is looking to maintain a perfect undefeated record (2-0).

What’s notable about Corso picking Wyoming is that he has been the best at picking underdogs on College Gameday this season. So we’ll see if Wyoming lives up to the former Louisville, Indiana, and Northern Illinois head coach.

After Coach Corso picked Wyoming as his “Superdog,” ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit added, “Tough spot for BYU.”

Laramie has always been a challenging road venue for visiting teams.

Saturday night’s game will mark BYU’s first trip to Laramie since 2009.

Outside of Utah and Utah State, Wyoming is the most-played opponent in BYU’s history. Tonight will be the 80th meeting between the programs that reside in bordering states.
