2025-26 College football season

One other cool note, one of BYU NFL bound linebackers (both Kelly and Glasker should play on Sundays), Jack Kelly, played his high school football at Kearns high. I was born and raised in Kearns and after bouncing around a bit as a young adult (I lived all over the place from 18 years old to my early 30's) I'm back in Kearns currently.

I would bet that no football player from Kearns has ever played in the NFL. So that's a pretty cool thing for me to watch him play and dominate.
 
Small sample size alert (and 2 of the teams were bad):

BYU last 3 games:
Colorado ran the ball 19 times for 2 yards
Portland State ran the ball 25 times for negative 5 yards
Stanford ran the ball 24 times for 19 yards

68 carries for 16 yards. Average of 0.24 yards per carry.

I got Texas tech winning 28-21 and BYU winning 27-13
 
I watched the Utah game today. Pretty disappointing that they are just an average team this year, but I kind of had a feeling.

That Freshman QB from Texas Tech was super impressive. From his opening play where he avoided the blitz and got about 5 yards, he just looked completely cool and in control.

Dang, I was pretty close with that BYU score. 34 -13 rather than 27-13.

Got both picks right.

Bear (BYU freshman QB) showed me something for the first time this year.

Defense is amazing (only allowed 1 TD in 3 games).
Special teams amazing (kicker now with 24 consecutive made field goals and 83 consecutive extra points made. 30 field goals in a row is the NCAA record)

Running back is great. O line is good. If Bear can improve enough then BYU could win the conference.
 
Also, the true freshman starting QB for BYU has zero interceptions and zero fumbles so far this season.
That is unexpected.

It's not a good sign when the offense has to rely on defensive players to be playmakers. I know some ute fans were excited to see Barton (linebacker) and snowden (DB) making plays on offense but I thought that it showed a lack of playmakers on offense.

Also, Dampier at new mexico last year went 5-7 and had the same number of interceptions as touchdowns (12 each). 58% completion percentage.
Fantastic runner but I was worried about his passing ability.

Having said all that, I think Texas tech is the best team in the conference (unless BYU QB improves a ton and shocks the world) and utah is still a good team with good coaching and a great defense. I think utes will finish top 5 in the conference.

Saw a pretty good trash talk comment: BYU has more Big12 conference wins at rice eckkles stadium than Utah does.
 
For the bettors out there: BYU is always underrated in vegas odds. Maybe because Mormons aren't big gamblers but last season BYU beat/covered the spread in their first 8 games.
This season they have covered in the spread in all 3 games.
Always take BYU early in the season.
 
That loss and frankly the last couple seasons of Utah football has really soured my Utah college football experience. For the time commitment that it is like how much enjoyment do I actually get out of it? We are playing a team from Texas we have no history with. The games itself have been a slog with a lot of changes of possesion and I think the cannon guys are probably looking at each other asking if they are going to get to fire this thing? Utah was lucky to have 3 points at half they easily could have had 0 points. Idk, obviously it sucks more when your team is stinky, but yeah it just doesnt seem worth it anymore.
 
Im picking Utah over West Virgina 24-10

BYU over Colorado 34-20. Vegas odds have BYU by 6.5. As I have been saying, BYU is always underestimated in the betting odds. Might have to due with mormons not being big gamblers lol. Only thing I can think of.
