Or a lot of it could be that BYU is playing the dregs of college football during Riley's starting run and what you are seeing is absolute fool's gold.

He's legit and will prove so against TCU. Utah fans should just happy the BYU game is not a Nov game this year.

I don't know what makes me more happy: The fact that you made another prediction or the fact that you just played the "you're just lucky you don't have to play us now" card.
The reasonable BYU fans in this forum must cringe each time they read one of your posts.

I'd also like to challenge the notion that TCU is any sort of measuring stick like in years past. They've dropped a game to an overrated Baylor squad who put up crazy numbers on them and lost to an SMU team who just got their asses handed to them by Southern Miss. Gary Patterson is obviously in a transition mode with this team. Are they better than what BYU has been playing recently? Absolutely, but let's not make them out to be something they're not.
I pride myself as being one of the reasonable BYU fans, but it's an interesting thing to contemplate. By my estimate, BYU's current quarterback is playing about 357% better than the one who played in the Utah game. And Utah's quarterback is about 195% worse than the one who played against BYU. I wouldn't go so far as to say "Utah is lucky...", but I think the game could easily go the other way if they had a rematch this weekend.

Remember how I called that game "fool's gold" for BYU and Utah fans because BYU simply fell apart and it had more to do with offensive ineptitude leading to defensive apathy rather than any major difference between the two teams and we would see Utah go in the tank and BYU go on a winning streak? Yup, nailed it again. Duckstrosdamus bitch, remember the name. I'll keep the predictions coming.
And the WTC was an inside job.
I thought it would be nice to have that game out of the way early, so I didn't have to endure your brand of idiocy for an entire season.
My optimism was misplaced, apparently.
