The Sun Devils are set to take on BYU in a game that seems tailor-made for an upset special. Unfortunately, that's not how our panelists see this game turning out.

David Howman (7-0)

I'm excited for the start of the Jake Fette era, but I'm not even remotely optimistic that it'll go well in his first career start. BYU may have lost last week, but it was double overtime on the road on the east coast. I'm not putting a ton of stock into that.

The Cougars are still an unstoppable force, and the Sun Devils are a very movable object. I'm just looking for Fette and the other youngin's to flash some potential in a tough road environment.

Andrew Hayslett (6-1)

Arizona State faces a frustrated BYU team who just lost to UCF. It is a tough game for the Sun Devils even if Mikey Keene is fully healthy.

Like David said, Arizona State could use some flashes from its young talent, including quarterback Jake Fette

BYU 48 - Arizona State 17

Aya Abdeen (5-1)

I'm interested to see how Arizona State will navigate it's offense through Jake Fette. Could the freshman go through growing pains against a frustrated BYU team that just lost last week.

BYU wins 60-7 over Arizona State (I'm sorry)

Tom Hardon (5-2)

It's looking like the Jake Fette era is starting. Unfortunately, it's coming against an angry BYU team looking for redemption after their first loss of the season.

I really want to pick the upset, I really really do. Even with the loss of LJ Martin, BYU still has Bear Bachmeier at QB, and no shortage of explosive play opportunities.
