"Guess what? We made the plays to win against a much better Oregon State team!"
Why did OSU get the point spread if they were better than you?
Nope, Utah played an exciting game. I forget the rankings and the spread and watched the game and cheered for the Utes,
Can we all be griends now?
Great to see the Utes win tonight for the good of the league -- but the Utes were very sloppy on offense, and were on the ropes AT HOME against a .500 team. Yes, an Oregon State team that is great at home (just ask USC), but not a good road team by any stretch (just ask Penn. State).
If this game were in LES, BYU would have won by 21-plus points.
rushing the field means it was a great game and we pulled out a nail biter...when i was jumping down the wall, you can be sure i wasn't thinking "well, Oregon State is only 2-3 now, and we were favored to win by 10 1/2 points, so maybe i should just stay here"
i wouldn't care if we played Alta High School, if we pulled out a win in that fashion, i would rush the field...
i wouldn't care about BYU if Utah was ranked in the top 10, but i keep getting the feeling that BYU fans feel better about themselves when they get to complain about every little thing that goes on...
A win is a win when they squeak by an 0-5 UW team, but barely beating a 2-2 OSU team that beat USC and barely beating a Michigan team that beat a #17 (i think, or was it #15) is embarrassing...
i say congrats to both...lets keep this going until Nov 22nd...
all that matters is its a win. the utes live to go 7-0. every week is different...
Good win but C'mon guys!!!!
GO COUGS!
Whether it was PI or not, that was a terrible pass from Johnson. So inconsistent. He hasn't looked very impressive at all this year. Then again i'm used to watching Max Hall.
Storming the field did look a little ridiculous. Exciting finish but come on....You were favored by way more than that...
I'm guessing the feeling you're talking about is getting Tasered? You really stormed the field that first time in Tempe didn't you? Nothing like the smell of burning Ute-honk flesh to sober ya up.
Rumor has it you guys just locked up a berth to the Poinsettia Bowl. Great job!
Also hope you enjoyed the 3.5 hours you spent watching our Utes pull out the win tonight. Sorry you had to scratch out that blog commentary about Utah losing that you had been working on all evening rewrite it after the finish.
Be sure to let us know how the Cougars do against Utah State on Friday since we don't really have the time or interest to keep track of your team the way you do ours.
Those who buy tickets, or have managed to get their hands on the Urban Meyer fill-the-stands-with-freebies-so-we-look-good-on-TV ducat plan -- they stay in the stands.
It's a simple concept.
You look foolish for rushing the field for a game you were expected to win.
You didn't win the game. The players on the field won the game. You only embarrass yourself when you hop over the wall and run around like idiots.
The Utes played BAD yet still found a way to win.
I am still not impressed but I'll take it.
GO UTES!!
Where are the play calls for guys that actually perform...like Louks...Brooks...
Been fun watching you Andy....enjoy your time off this winter...
Sure, the receiver looked like he was mauled -- if you only see the quick angle of contact on the highlight. The receiver literally turned back into the bewildered defender because the ball was thrown so far behind him.
But good win for the Utes. The contact got the call and that's all that counts. That was an amazing comeback in a short time frame.
It's funny, I was actually hoping to see utah win this one and was disappointed when it looked like they were going to blow it- I'm glad they pulled it out but after comments like yours and others I'm now kind of wishing they would've blown it.
Oh well, here's to a national showdown of 2 top-ten teams come November. Good luck!
You gotta love college football!
1.Byu beats a unranked team "UCLA" in the Las Vegas Bowl last year and the fans rush the field.
2. Byu fans beat unranked "Utah" last year in Provo and the fans rush the field.
Both games they where favored to win and they rushed the field. So for all you BYU fans who are putting the Utes down for rushing the field! Look in the mirror?
By the way byU fans, ask any analyst and they will tell you that Oregon State will finish higher than both UCLA and Washington, in fact I would think that OSU will have more wins than both of those teams combined!
byU's opponents, against 1A teams, have a combined record of 3-10.....keep telling yourself how great your are! It is always great when espn.com says: "how many teams in the country would be 4-0 vs: N. Iowa, Washington, UCLA, WYO?" Now your going to add Utah State this week and make your SOS even weaker with a 3-14 record or your opponents.
Utah's opponents are(1A) 11-11, which means they lose to Utah but win other games! 3-14 means that the teams byu beats in the same teams everyone else is beating!!!!!
THAT WAS EXCITING FOOTBALL!FANS GET EXCITED-ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY WERE DOWN 8 POINTS JUST A FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE GAME ended!
too bad for OS they didn't learn from their win over USC. not ONE person can let up until the game clock says ZERO! great win U of U!
you BYU fans shut up and enjoy your brothers and fellow MWC team wins over the "mighty BSC--bs colleges? no I guess that is BCS. This is what it will take to bring down BCS monopoly on huge money bowls--so called mid level and "unworthy" teams not only blowing out-like 59-0 a stRuggling PAC ten team BUT then hanging on, not giving up, and for 2 minutes totaLLY KICKING butt AGAINST THE TEAM THAT JUST BEAT THE TOP RANKED TEAM IN THE nation! THAT'S GREAT FOR EVERY MWC FAN!ALL Utahns and MWC fans need to enjoy it while we can!
BYU 42 - Utah 12 (3 Sakoda field goals)
Lets go for 11-0 vs 11-0.
It was great to see you get two scores in under 2 minutes to win the game.
Keep it up baby!!!!!!!!!!!! Just remember to lose th last regular season game :)
Couger forever!!

Except for some inept calls by OSU tonight ( like going for and missing a couple of 2 pt conversions) this game is gone...
BYU 14
Utah 7
May it be 21 straight wins for BYU and 12 straight for Utah on Nov. 22.
They won this game in spite of their offensive coordinator.
We've got the talent to beat anybody, YES, even BYU. We've gotta cut down those turnovers on the field, and the crap calls from the sideline.
As to the controversial call on the two-point conversion, that's a stupid thing to argue. Penalties, wether they effect that specific play or not, are called and influence the outcome of the game. If a player committs a face-masking (as the U did twice) call it, it gives them yards. If a player commits pass interference, call it. An illegal action is illegal.
Heres to an undefeated November matchup.
They are 6-0 and still haven't played a complete game. I don't know if that is a good thing or not. Maybe the Utes are still building - not yet peaking - until they peak on November 22nd.
I didn't get to watch the game due to scout committee meetings at the church, but my University of Oregon buddy kept getting me messages on how things were progressing (he was a Ute fan tonight as he hoped they could silence some of the obnoxious beaver fans up here). It sounds like I missed a great game and look forward to watching it later.
The Mountain West deserves a guaranteed BCS bid to the confernce champ...
We'll see the undefeated Utes in November...BCS to the winner....The Cougs
