COLLEGE FOOTBALL FREE PICK: BYU is 2-6 ATS L8 true road openers. Utah is 3-1 ATS L4 in series and 3-1 ATS L4 at home in series. Last year: Utah (+3) over BYU, 54-10. BYU goes for 3-0 against a Utah team that will have a new quarterback. Senior Jon Hays or true freshman Travis Wilson takes over after Jordan Wynn retired after facing a fourth shoulder surgery. Hays is the likely choice after going 6-3 last season. But the Utes will rely on RB John White, who ran for 174 yards and three TDs against BYU last year. Speedsters have usually bothered BYU, who relies on power and skill. BYU squashed Washington State and Weber State so this is the first test for 25th-ranked team. But this will be a difficult task as a road fave against a state rival team.
