Daily Herald Sports Editor and BYU football beat writer Darnell Dickson picks this week's Mountain West Conference games.

Saturday

UNLV (4-6, 2-4) AT AIR FORCE (6-4, 4-2), 4 P.M. MT (THE MTN.)

The Falcons picked up a big win against Army last week and will continue to push toward a strong finish. Air Force plays BYU next week and it will be a battle.

Darnell sez: Air Force 27, UNLV 7

WYOMING (4-5, 2-3) AT SAN DIEGO STATE (4-5, 2-3), 8 P.M. MT (THE MTN.)

I'm thinking Wyoming won't be fully recovered from its whipping at the hands of BYU last week and the Aztecs will roll.

Darnell sez: San Diego State 28, Wyoming 17

NO. 16 UTAH (8-1, 5-0) AT NO. 4 TCU (9-0, 5-0), 5:30 P.M. MT (CBS-C)

Sorry, Ute fans. I just don't see how Utah will get away with playing a true freshman at quarterback against that fast, nasty defense of the Frogs. There will be turnovers and TCU will dominate time of possession.

Darnell sez: TCU 30, Utah 14

Bonus Pick

NO. 10 IOWA AT NO. 11 OHIO STATE, 1:30 P.M. (ABC)

A win here from the Buckeyes gives them the inside track to winning the Big 10, while Iowa is still wondering what happened last week against Northwestern, a 17-10 loss for the Hawkeyes.

Darnell sez: Ohio State 24, Iowa 17

Last Week: 5-1

Overall: 52-16 (.765)
