    So it is game week and the lack of action in this thread is appalling.

    In Whitt's 6 wins over BYU,

    Utah has won games in blowout fashion(2008, 2011), in close games(2005, 2010, 2012, 2013)

    With a backup QB in his first start(Ratliff 2005), a one armed Jordan Wynn(2010), a no-armed Jordan Wynn(2011), and a Div III transfer, Hays(2012)

    Utah has won with everything at stake(2008), and very little more than pride on the line(Pretty much every other time).

    They have won with bad teams(2012 and 2013), with a great team(2008) and pretty much everything in between.
    They even won when the fans gave BYU 3 chances to tie with a late field goal

    The biggest win was 2008 as it propelled the Utes into the Sugar bowl.

    The most important win was 2010 when Brandon Burton's last second block broke the string of late game miracle heroics by BYU.

    The most surprising win was 2012 when JON FREAKING HAYS beat arguably the best defense in BYU's history, with 3 new starters on the offensive line, and without Jon White IV.

    Utah has won when playing their best(2008, 2011) and when playing their very worst(2010, 2012)

    BYU has won with strong offense once(2006) and strong defense twice(2007, 2009).

    But most importantly, Bronco has only beaten Utah when they have had a player from Carbon County on their roster. Last I checked, they don't have one of those this year.

    BYU doesn't stand a chance...

        Yeah, because there certainly isn't anything else happening at BYU that might distract a bit from the game :crazy:

          You should appreciate the distraction. It is a built in excuse

            The funny thing is that even with Bronco's well documented struggles against Utah, if he manages a win on Saturday he will leave with a 4-6 record against Whittingham.

              Excuse from what? It's not like it will be my fault if BYU wins or loses.

                  It does give us a response to "but our running back is hurt!"

                  Oh wait...

                  You guys are better at this than we are.

                    We are going to beat you without Booker, so I am not sure where that is relevant

                            Not an uncommon practice at the uofutah. But they're clamping down on that. No more 4th times.
                            Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

                            For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                            Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                                BYU may not have a player from Carbon County, but they have a graduate assistant coach from Helper and a university president from East Carbon. Based on that I am picking BYU to win in a blowout 38-13.
