      Dominated them. What a shitty Utah team that was. Shitty but lucky.

          We are a shitty team. I agree.
          You are delusional. Did you watch the game? you really think your crappy team forced every one of those turnovers?
          PLesa excuse the tpyos.

            So lucky. But we helped them out a lot. Nice composure coming back like that. I can see why they are scared to play BYU

              Kyle Whittingham football: get a lead, rely on the defense to hold it up, play it safe, games are close, and most often it works. It isn't pretty.

                I hope Bronco has a plane ticket from Vegas to Charlottesville. There's just something about his teams that come out so flat in these games. Once they settle down they finally make a game of it but not after going down by so much. This games reminded me of that 2005 game.

                And why did Squally get a handoff? The guy hasn't touched the ball in a game in forever and the first thing he does is fumble. Dumb decision to use him when we've got Francis and Algie. Give us back Squally's fumble and we possibly have an overtime game.

                Anae apparently thought he could do to Utah what he did to Utah State, which is chuck the ball long and pray. Utah's DBs are night and day better than USU and it showed in each time they swatted the ball away. We got lucky on a few of those, thankfully. I like Anae and wish he'd stick around because he has experience but I'm not having heart burn over him leaving.

                9-4 ain't bad considering we did it with a true freshman QB who, 3 months before fall camp, was tracting. Hopefully Kalani can keep things going. Next year is going to be tough and I think making a bowl game next year would be a successful season.

                  Nah, fluky but good football plays. Right place, right time sure but hitting Tanner's arm, playing the slant perfectly...those are good football plays. That is not a very good Kyle coached team but they made the plays early and than did what Utsh does...shorten the game and make it about the W.

                      Play it safe? Fake punk, going for it on 4th down twice when you have the best punter in the country? KW didn't sound like was at all happy with his offense in his comments to ABC after the game. I didn't get the impression that playing it safe was at all part of the plan.

                            That's the thing that makes me so mad. If the offense didn't shit the bed, we beat these guys. They do this every game against Utah. They're intimidated, they press, and they have turnovers every single time. I mean, credit to Utah, but Anae is so predictable. I'm just sick of us not coming out ready to play these guys.

                              Utah won. Congrats. Now go S a D because your bitch just left to Charlottesville. This was his final gift to you and his last upper decker to BYU. Good riddance to that asshole and team Judas.

                                You won, I give you that, but not so sure you are the better team.

                                That first quarter was an abomination before the Lord and mankind. Yeah, the utes got the turnovers, but BYU was playing like a bronco coached team in a big game: tight, scared, timid, pathetic.
