Great call.

I too was puzzled as to why Dennis went into ultra-conservative mode and ran 2 basic run plays in that OT. If you're not going to pass (which was going well) why not run that option play where Wilson pulls it and keeps the ball running outside? Oregon St hadn't stopped that play all game long.

Solid point. I and those around me in the stands wondered the exact same thing. It was obvious we needed a touchdown, we couldn't just settle for a field goal.

Utah's secondary is terrible, no doubt about it. But what's missing is Mannion is really, really good. I'm not scared of BYU's offense. Yeah, they have a good run game, but BYU has a QB who can't throw and won't be able to exploit the secondary like Mannion did. It will be a close game and could go either way. Neither team is good enough to blow each other out.

True. What I meant to say is BYU will win convincingly. No 4th down miracles necessary. If Taysom can complete just enough passes to exploit that secondary and if BYU can get to Wilson, they will win.

On the flip side... If Utah can make BYU one dimensional and protect Wilson, BYU won't have a prayer.
 
Hill sucks, no debate, but he has gotten better* every snap he's in there. I think the jitters will be all but gone, and will be all gone after the first quarter. Expect Hill to wow the majority of us, and connect on 65%+. I don't think we'll be running the ball nearly as much as everyone thinks.








Oh ya...


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
 
I thought the poker buy-in was $20 not $15. Must have drank way too much red stag before driving PKM's Range Rover back to his hotel.
 
I'm having a hard time getting excited for the Holy War. Even if Utah wins (a big "if" at this point), it doesn't look they're going to be winning many PAC 12 games yet again.


I know this sounds like smack talk, but Im over beating BYU. They've done it 7 of the last 10 and other than bragging rights, it means next to nothing. Start winning games in your own conference for hells sakes.

That's what Ute fans were saying last year, right before they stormed the field three times. Not buying it.

Don't get me wrong, it would be nice getting a win as we head into the 2 year hiatus, but other than that, it doesn't mean much. Utah beat them last year and still finished 5-7. I'm over the whole match-up and am actually interested to see how both teams do over the next 2 years without each other.

Also it is just Monday and speaking from a position of calm and rational and at least for me as the week moves on and Sat. gets closer I will be more emotional and less rational.
