The Official BYU vs Utah rivalry thread........

Poor sportsmanship. 15 yard penalty.

Sorry, 'bout that. Would it have been better had I said that Burton is still blocking the kick?

[LiveCoug]

We have nothing to crow about.

I know! I feel bad for Ute fans! A great come from behind victory against your rival and you have nothing to crow about! I'm sorry about that...

Way to be a killjoy.

Actually, I want to know if you folks are like me and felt more relieved on the last play of a game like this than happy that your team won.

I hope you are posting via cell phone. You should be kicking zoot asses for storming the field after beating BYU's worst team in a decade.

Double diss on the cell phone and unwillingness to back up big talk. Well done.

And Bronco should be COY?

Hell no! COY candidates don't let their teams choke away certain victory.

Me? Post from a cell phone? That would require owning a cell phone.

I was amused about the rushing of the field, but there's not much I could have done about it. The majority of those fools probably had no idea that Utah played football before Urban Meyer came to Utah, so they aren't yet familiar with how to appreciate a win.

Pfffft. Don't be coy. I saw you out there shoving Mitch Payne after the game, you zoot.

Joking aside, I think it's fine to rush the field. Unless of course, you are older than college age.

Ah, phooey.

Just got back from the game. Ugly win but I'll take it. Last year I felt pretty good about a true freshman quarterback losing on the road in OT. It seems like our QB has regressed this year; he doesn't seem to have any confidence and has trouble working through progressions - if the first read isn't there he goes to the check down.

From where I was sitting it was tough to tell about the questionable calls - the only replay I had was the video screen at the stadium. I didn't agree with the Blechen helmet-to-helmet call; the Mahina sideline catch looked good on replay; the only view showed of the fumbled INT looked like the leg was touching the ground - all the way up to, but not including the kneecap. I don't know what constitutes the "knee" in football but his kneecap never hit in the view I saw. I'll have to watch the replay at home. Serious question about refs and next year. With BYU independent who provides the refs for the home games?

Lot of upside to BYU's team next year. I have confidence in Whit getting this team ready for the upcoming bowl and next season.

The indifference over the game is pretty funny. I think mainly because this game meant nothing in the world of college football. No conference title, no BCS berth, Utah is pretty much locked in to the LV bowl. I mean it was for bragging rights and pride.

The best part is even though Utah won they have ten times the uncertainty going in to next season as BYU. That is why most people are quiet. If I were a ute fan I would not say a word either it would be more like a sense of relief than anything.

You go in to the Pac-12 next year with no qb, no linebackers, and a coaching staff that looked like a deer in the headlights for 4 quarters. Then you get to start the season against USC and this same BYU team who will be at home.

For BYU you are excited about the fact that you played so many freshman, you return almost your whole O-line if Reynolds comes back, you return Manumaleuna, Fuga, PUtnam (who finally stepped up), and Jordan Richardson along the D-line. You return every single linebacker except Shane Hunter. The secondary is the only real concern but you do return Eason (parttime starter) and Uale (yikes!).

The skill positions players all but Ashworth come back. The bottom line is the future is very bright and you would have to expect Heaps to progress especially with an extra month of practice and a bowl game. So yeah to be honest I feel "indifferent" about this game I am excited for the future it sucks to lose but I like the direction we are heading.

I have been trying to think of excuses for Wynn's sophomore slump since TCU... I'm not even convincing myself anymore.

I think he becomes a head case under pressure. I don't know if it is going to be possible to coach that out of him.

Psshht. I think he was looking over his shoulder at the sideline for Bronco to put in Jordan Pendleton any second...

I called the slump before the first game.
