“Livvy Dunne and Paul Skenes choose BYU/Utah on college game day”

SALT LAKE CITY – Power couple Livvy Dunne and Paul Skenes were the featured guest players at ESPN College Gameday on Saturday, November 9th.

College game day was this week in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for the LSU/Alabama game.

The Pittsburgh Pirates gymnast and pitcher were the guest players as they are both LSU graduates.

One of the games on the Saturday Selections list was the heated intrastate rivalry between BYU and Utah.

Dunne and Skenes chose BYU to beat the Utes.

The majority of the jury also chose BYU.

“I like BYU. I just think these offensive issues will be too much to overcome [for Utah]said Nick Saban.

College Gameday Picks for BYU/Utah

  • Desmond Howard: BYU
  • Nick Saban: BYU
  • Pat McAfee: BYU
  • Paul Skenes & Livvy Dunne: BYU
  • Lee Corso: BYU
  • Kirk Herbstreit: Utah

The only college game day host not to choose BYU was a surprise. Kirk Herbstreit rode primarily with BYU when they were featured on the “Saturday Selections” portion of the show this season.



Herbstreit chose BYU in his last five game-day picks against the Cougars.

“I play with a Utah team that started the year 4-0. They have lost four times in a row. They are 4-4, they can save their season. This is what college football is all about; Rivalry games that will save your season. Utah pulls off the surprise at home.”

Lee Corso, who normally faces BYU this season, chose the Cougars in the heated rivalry game.
