ERROLL TUCKER — After his penalties and ejection in 1984, the Ute wowed the Provo crowd the next year with two returns — a kickoff and a punt return — for touchdowns on a snowy field (a penalty negated the punt return).

THE QUOTES

"The hatred between Utah and BYU is going to continue — I'm going to make a crusade out of it." Utah head coach Wayne Howard, 1977.

"All those (Utes) think that's all there is to life. But when I'm making $50,000 to $60,000 a year, they'll be pumping my gas. They're low-class losers." BYU defensive lineman Lenny Gomes, a k a Lenny Gregory, 1993.

"I feel like we're the Rocky Balboas and they're like Tommy Morrison — kinda like pretty boys with leather jackets and we're kind of street fighters. We're like wild dogs, man. We fight. We scrap. We're kind of a reflection of our coach (McBride)." Utah quarterback Brett Elliott, 2002
