Not sure why these athletes who just want to win will necessarily go to UT. Name me a good team they’ve beaten this year. AZ? But I digress. I’m sure they will have a winning record when all is said and done, and if that is all it takes, then I’m sure UT will get their share. When the chips are down, we need leader/athletes who can lift. I hope there are some out there for us. We could use a few.

ASU dominates UT. They still don’t have a quality win. I know we don’t even have a quality loss, but Beehive State football on a real downer.

Oregon destroys u of u.
BYU beats SJSU!
I'm not sure which way this moves the pendulum...

They are in the worst spot talent wise they've been in many years, but they have hard nosed coaching that will keep them competitive and in games. This is the difference good coaching makes. If they were under BYU's staff they'd be winless and not competitive (like BYU).

The fact that BYU played them to a single possession and their kicker saved their trash bears this out. However, they are competing.

Utah would be in SERIOUS trouble if they didn't sell out any standards they might have been clinging to and get Carrington.

We would be doing much better if Bernard was on the team playing for us this year. Sometimes it just pays to not have morals or standards, in the short term.

I disagree that U of U is "light years" ahead of BYU. The result from the last two games should show you that. 2 games, 5 points between.

I'm not predicting this; just saying it could happen. We saw a hint of that yesterday. The quality of BYU's athletes is on the level. The coaches are not 100% responsible for all of this. Some of it is on the players.

We'll see how this team responds next week against Fresno St. Then we will know.

El Bakri stepped up in a motivating way (that hit on the KO will be felt by the other kid for a month!).
