Honestly, I wasn't expecting very much against LSU.. I was saying during the offseason to friends that there was a good chance BYU wouldn't score against LSU. I mean, they allowed 16 total touchdowns last season, and only gave up 9 points to Lamar Jackson in the bowl game. That terrified me headed into last week. So the game last week really didn't change my feelings about this game at all. I don't think that BYU is as bad as some are making them out to be.

That being said, I don't think any BYU fan can be confident in guaranteeing a win after the way we've crapped our pants during the past 6 games. I think that the game will be close and will be determined in the final two minutes. Hopefully the Cougars can do enough to win, finally.

Believe it or not I would have loved a BYU win against LSU. Since BYU had their henchmen on Capitol Hill force Utah to schedule them annually again Utah kinda needs BYU to be half relevant. Here's the thing BYU doesn't beat LSU ever. They also don't beat P5 schools that finish with a winning record(Srsly when is the last time it happened). At most they upset P5 schools in a down year that finish below .500. If you're not willing to join a conference for the sake of BYU relevance then do it for the school up north that you are holding hostage.

Call up CSU at the end of the year and the pair of you head over to the AAC. You get to finish the year with 8 meaningful games against mid majors instead of 6 meaningless games against mid majors(or worse). You'll still get the annual hostage game and 3 more to try and schedule as many P5 as you can. In December you won't be playing in the Miami Beach who gives a **** bowl. You will be playing in a meaningful bowl likely against a P5 team (NY6?). How is that not better!

There is a reason schools don't line up for the independence thing. Note Dame isn't even really independent. They are basically an ACC team with a partial scheduling exemption.

Be a sport join a conference and win a conference title so that Utah can get some credit for beating you every year.

This post makes my heart happy.
 
So A-Rod is gonna be up in BYU's coaching booth on Saturday. I get that Utah fired him but doing this while not on BYU's payroll has to be extremely frowned upon in coaching circles. He better hope Sitake hires him in the offseason...

I wouldn't mind a scheduling agreement with the AAC, but the majority of our fan base likes independence. We get some fun games every season, and the schedules have only been getting better by the year. Honestly, I see more comments from Ute fans about this than I do from BYU fans. I think we'd love to be in a P5, but independence is a definite upgrade to a G5 conference, at least in the minds of the majority of the fanbase.

Where are you hearing this? And to answer your last post, I think that the score will be 19-17.

This.
Ute fans want byu in a g5 conference. Byu fans, for the most part, see it like p5 > independence > g5.

I don't where he heard it but I heard something similar. Don't remember where I heard it either.
 
An interesting and kind of crazy stat I heard on the radio: 16 of the last 19 games in this rivalry have been decided by a touchdown or less.
I wonder if there is any other rivalry in the country that could claim the same.
