BYU looks to rebound against Hawaii after a loss to "lowly" UMass.

KSL.com says the Cougars were outclassed by UMass.

The Deseret News says BYU-Hawaii will be a de facto bowl game for the two teams involved. The same reasoning could hold for UMass-FIU. It'll be in warm weather and the game will be in December. Except for the FCS playoffs, UMass has not played in December in a long while.

FIU tries to shake off a pair of losses in one week in order to get ready for Western Kentucky. The Panthers lost star WR Thomas Owens to a knee injury. He could miss the UMass game.

The Sports Chat Place picks WKU to cover the spread against FIU.
