2024 BYU Football - Year 2 in the Big 12

[Donuthole]

Ya'll are very much worried about the wrong things right now. I sure hope the team is more focused on the U than the fans are. This game is going to be a slugfest. I would love to see BYU dominate, but BYU does not have a history of dominating this game, even in years when they are clearly better. Hope that changes this year, but I think it's going to be a one-score game.

Sorry for posting about what fans want to happen on a fan message board. But I'm going to go out on a limb and say fans doing fan things are not affecting how the team approaches this game. I have been impressed with all their statements last week and this week. They are clearly locked in on Utah, approaching the game with an appropriate level of confidence but respecting the talent that exists up on the hill.

I agree with JL. I said before if we keep utah defense from scoring we win. If we actually win the turnover battle we win by multiple scores. Once the rivalry losing streak built up, you could feel it in the air each game. Their coaches, players, and fans expected to win. Ours thought we could but were always just waiting for everything to go wrong. That dynamic doesn't exist anymore. KW will do everything he can to resurrect it for this week but he is attempting it on a broken team with a QB room he has screwed up beyond repair. They have a great defense as always so they could theoretically stay in any game. But the odds are not in their favor.

We all need to sack up and expect to win this one. Utah is certainly capable of winning but fretting about past seasons when we couldn't win big against utah even when we thought we were better is almost as silly as fretting that KY won't get past the first round of the tourney this year because BYU always has struggled in the first round. The past doesn't matter when the dynamics that led to past result have changed.

Vegas agrees with you - 4-point spread last time I looked.

And they have been so good at predicting results for this byu team.

You all are worried about the wrong thing.

I'm going to the game. Where can I park nearest the stadium that Mitt built?

[Bo Diddley]

I'm not sure how to predict this one. In the past, Utah won the battles in the trenches. Last time we played, BYU beat them at their own game and won those battles. And while Utah still has stout line play and a good D, BYU has done pretty good this year as well. I don't see much separation there and BYU will play assignment sound defense. BYU's D is going to feast of turnovers. BYU by 21!

Parking for football games on or near the U is a nightmare. Highly recommend taking TRAX up. If I go I'll probably ride it up all the way from Draper.

Caveat is if BYU has the game in hand the place could empty out and you won't fight traffic as much as would be the norm.

[All-American]

I said 2 TD win.

I’m not greedy. I can be content with one Ty Detmer win. Beating them by 70 is more than enough for me.

I was thinking about going to the game. My internal machinations included using Trax to get to/from the stadium.

So big question, will TRAX be running from the stadium after the game? I will be around 12:30 am Sunday morning.

What does their website say?

It doesn't explicitly say on their website, but UTA runs extra trains on event days to and from the events including Jazz, Utah hockey club, and Utah football games. You can also use your game ticket as your train fare.
