BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall confronts Ute heckler

Our take: After suffering a 24-21 loss to Utah last weekend, BYU football coach Bronco Mendenhall was attempting to leave the field when a heckling Ute fan got his attention...perhaps more of it than he bargained for. KSL's Graydon Johns has the video and this commentary:

Instead of ignoring the fan Bronco turned and headed right for him. The heckler promptly put his tail between his legs and bolted — white suspenders and all. Not sure what he was thinking, but remember Ute fans, it was your behavior who gave BYU an extra crack at a game-winning field goal.

embarrassing to be a ute with "fans" like this clown. it looks like he is flexing his beer muscles until confronted and then he runs......let the players play and fans watch and shut up.

To my Utes fans:

Fans should not have any business heckling the opposing team's
players and coaches.
It's bad that your team just defeated them....
And it's even worse that you gave them another chance to More..
