Best Game of the Week: No. 15 BYU vs Arizona

BYU had a dominant start to the season with their 63-7 win over Utah State, while the Wildcats dismantled Northern Arizona in their season opener.

Perhaps if this game were happening a little later in the season, both teams would be ranked. I will also be looking forward to seeing how Arizona deals with BYU's star running back LJ Martin, who had a quiet day in their opener with only seven carries. Martin, the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year last season, could make this game very entertaining as well.
