Its still the same if you just compare the USC and Texas games.

You're an idiot.
Trout says he's in.
I need to see his post; otherwise, I'm calling him a puss of "moneyline" proportions.

Who was the best receiver on Saturday? Christopher

That stinging sensation in the side of your mouth is from the hook, Bud.
Its hard to compare teams playing different teams. With that said its still an argument who had a better game. White contributed 54 yards to the game off 21 touches. JJ contributed 63 yards off 17 touches. Both off pure rushing had the same averages per carry. I would not say White had a better game. I would also say that Texas was more concerned and focused on JJ than USC on White.
Heaps threw a couple picks so I guess you can give the edge to Wynn but Heaps did have a much higher completion percentage and if you factor in the sack yardage they contributed about the same amount of yardage to the game. Plus if you claim Utahs receivers are soo much better than BYU's than doesn't that mean Heaps has the much harder time completing passes since the receivers are not making plays on the ball and getting open? If you claim that Heaps sucks that is just ignorant. Is he an elite QB yet? No. But he is still good and almost all scouts and commentators think he will be great in college.
Defense is typically Utahs strength and BYU's weakness but so far BYU's defense has allowed 30 points against 2 BCS opponents(one of those was actually caused by offense so you could say 23). Utah against 1 BCS team and 1 non division 1 team has allowed 33 points (one was on special teams so technically 26 points). BYU's defense against Texas got their returning starter benched for probably the season. BYU has allowed 267 passing yards and 230 rushing yards for a total of 497. Utah has allowed 447 passing yards and 227 rushing yards for a total of 674 total yards allowed. I think BYU might have the better Defense this year.
I feel like this is a safe year to bet on BYU and they are starting to finally feel like the little brother now and have more to play for. I could be wrong but thats my bet. I am not unbiased since I slightly prefer BYU over Utah but neither are my team. The Ducks would destroy either team so...
BTW I would show up and watch any of these cage matches. Make it happen. That would take this fan board and rivalry to a new level.

You won't see him post cause he's on "vacation" for 2 weeks. If you know what i mean.

-White had a rushing touchdown, JJ had no touchdowns. I think that easily tips the scale for him having a better game.
-Also Utah had two offensive touchdowns that game, BYU only had one.
-Its not completely fair to compare these games but its as close as it gets. Both very similar programs, both away games.

I'm pretty sure I know what you mean. Trout saw the handwritting on the wall, and rather than face the humiliation of watching BYU go down in flames, he decided to go on vacation, right?

As a Ute fan, it's sad to admit and know that even if Heaps makes the Cougs lose-out for the rest of the year by his mistakes alone, he's still a million times better than Wynn.
It's like this.
Wynn = An old broken down Pinto
Heaps = A Camaro in need of a tune up.

Very good.
