Enough said, BYU by 40
He's a football coach. He's watch film of BYU. He knows the type of offense BYU has and knows he doesn't have the defense to stop them.
He knows BYU has a young defense and that the only chance Utah State has is to try to keep the Aggie offense on the field to prevent BYU's offense from working their magic. That strategy won't work, because BYU's defense will prove to be much tougher than he's hoping for.
I expect the Aggies to put up a good fight, but in the end, BYU will win this game handily. I just hope both teams can come out of this game without any serious injuries.
BYU 45 Utah State 10
I'm betting that the BYU defense scores more than the USU offense - again.
It's going to be fun to watch my favorite team beat up on my alma mater.
Bring on John L!
BYU 35 USU 0
Everyone knows the Aggie football program is struggling and that BYU is very good, so the likelihood of a blowout win by the Cougars is a near certainty.
Still, there are a few juvenile BYU fans, who can't resist rubbing it in.
Probably the same ones who picked on the nerdy little kid back in grade school just so they could feel better about their own insecurities.
It's too bad that the Quest that BYU's football team is striving for this season is being besmirched by a few childish BYU fans who haven't quite caught the true vision of what the Quest is all about.
The Quest is about much more than football, by the way.
As I read the posts, I am not sure it is the BYU fans causing the problems
I really think its your own fans that are showing no class. I am a BYU fan for sure...but I am a Utahn first and foremost. I dont like to see the Aggies or the Utes lose...except when they play the Cougars.
I'm as dyed-in-the-wool, true-blue a fan as you'll ever meet.
As a long time Cougar fan, my comments were directed at my fellow BYU fans.
And yes, the juvenile, smack-talking, BYU fans who feel compelled to poke fun at a program that is obviously not very good, are the childish fans who haven't learned to win with class and haven't caught the true vision of what the Quest is all about.
If the shoe fits, wear it.
And don't use the childish excuse that they were doing it too.
USU must have a mobile QB or there is no way they'll be able to stand a chance. Washington had a QB like that and BYU couldn't stop him. That is the only person who has been able to make a game close with BYU. USU must also hold onto the ball. BYU is great at causing turnovers.
Here's hoping to shutout #3!
Personally, I find the smack talk one of the most enjoyable aspects of the game when done right. Can we take our smack talk too far? Absolutely. Many sports fans take things way too far and can be lewd and obscene. But I think those who take talking trash beyond reasonable limits are in the minority and live in another world outside of realility.
So please don't refrain from a little trash talk because you feel bad for lowly ol USU. In my minds eye you'd be taking some of the fun away.
So I hope BYU is because the Aggies can smell an upset all the way up in Logan. :-)
win. But if Hall and company are on the bench, his defense gets a rest and BYU�s offense cannot
score. Will it work? That�s why they play the game.
The team down south will boat race the Aggies once again. My only hope is that this loss is the final nail in the coffin for Brent Guy. Bring back John L!
You are not out of the woods yet. USU might be a gimme, but your conference woes are just beginning.
UNLV, Air Force, New Mexico, TCU, and Utah will be ready. You are now the bowl game for your foes.
USC was beaten by an unranked team and I believe could happen to the Cougs. Your major league opponents have won 3 games combined.
Here is one amazing stat-
Washington is ranked 109 on collegefootballpoll.com and Utah State is 110.
So just maybe, if the refs don't ruin it, USU could win the game- theoretically.
BYU won in Seattle by a very small margin so USU does have a chance in Logan.
BYU is the "bowl game" for Air Force, UNLV, New Mexico, and TCU. Good luck and may the best team win without the help of any officials.
Over the next 10-20 years, BYU's recruiting base is going to continue to grow and those of us that love the Utes are going to have to find some way to be happy if we can beat the Cougs once or twice a decade. BYU may be the dominate power in our state, but please give we UTE FANS a little respect!
Yeah, guys, BYU matched the Aggies with their colors. The nerve. They should go pick some other color that no one else wears and at least be unique. I'm sick of BYU trying to copy the Aggies. Why don't they get their own identity for a change? If I see BYU copy USU with one more thing, I think I'll scream!
