Ogletree and his teammates feel that the team prepared well for last year's game, but were out-executed in almost every facet before the mistakes sort of snowballed — leading to a 54-10 loss.
For Nelson, it was an excruciating experience to watch from the sidelines as the humiliation of last year's game unfolded.
"It was frustrating from the standpoint that we kind of lost our fight toward the end," noted Nelson.

If we do that I think we'll be in a position to win the ball game."

Interesting comments.
Can anyone tell me if they are going to have both teams wear home uniforms like last year? I never heard why they did that. I remember a few years ago UCLA and USC did that, and it was a penalty for the visiting team, but More..
Vegas doesn't think BYU is very good. They are only a 4 point favorite.
The visiting team always has to wear white unless they have a prior arrangement with the home team that allows them to wear a different color. I am wondering if this is the game that they wear their all black uniforms. I know most of the time when More..
