@ funk for suggesting that Utah is less of a freak show than BYU.

Utah is playing great right now. They deserve their ranking.

The video had nothing to do with it. Knock it off.

One thing about college football, nothing is certain. Things can turn upside down from week to week. I hope lots of horrible things are in the future for Utah football.

If said horribles do occur, we still beat Oregon by 42 points! In Eugene!!!!!!

I think you mean Utah.

Maybe not!

Every dog has its day. For BYU it was a national championship and a Heisman. For Utah it was beating an eventual 8-4 Oregon team on the road. Both are sweet in their own way.

I think you are selecting reading my post. For example, I think you missed the second paragraph where I state.



I guess I could clarify, while there are now articles in the national media about Utah being in the playoff conversation, that talk is entirely premature at this point especially considering the tough stretch of games that Utah has after the bye week. Perhaps if Utah is at 7-0, it would be appropriate to start talking playoffs.

The point is that you specifically noted that there are people in the media talking about the Utes as a playoff team and then go on to say that you won't talk about the Utes being a playoff team because it would be premature.

I'm assuming you are mocking his long hair, which he grew out so that he had enough to cut off to donate to the Jesse Rees Foundation. I for one support his decision to support a foundation that helps children with cancer.

Anyone else remember the criticism of Booker's performance against Michigan by BYU fans.

Against Michigan

Devontae Booker
Rushing: 22 carries, 69 yards, 1 TD
Receiving: 7 receptions, 59 yards
Total yards: 128

BYU
Rushing: 22 carries, 50 yards
Receiving: 12 receptions, 55 yards
Total yards: 105

Now to be fair, BYU did have 49 yards in kick returns and 5 yards in punt returns. Devontae Booker had no punt return or kick return yards. So BYU did have more all purpose yards than Devontae Booker by 31 yards.

Really crappy rushing either way.

You're right, our 4th stringers aren't as good as Booker.
