BYU football notebook: Unga's status 'day-to-day' as Y. preps for Air Force Academy

Both BYU and UTah are overrated. BYU couldn't stand up against any other top 25 team this year and Utah has NEVER beaten a team that was in the top 15 at the time they played them, or who finished the season in the top 10. Never.

I hear lots of talk about beating 'big programs' but no one can refute my claim with an actual statistic/fact.

These other BSC schools play 10 games vs. opponents that BYU/Utah play maybe two times a season. No way does the rest of the MWC stack up to the #2+ teams in the PAC 10, ACC, Big 12, etc. I hope Utah does get invited to a BCS...so we can see them choke!!!

You people in Utah are in dreamland.

Duh Bronco, of course all the attention is on the Utes. EVERYONE in the nation knows UTAH is better than BYU. Utah got their number 1 pick of head coaches. BYU got second choice.

Cougar fans - get ready to be TOTALLY CRUSHED by the UTES!!!!

Oops...wouldn't it be great if it were at LaVell Edwards Stadium. It's important that the game is in the Springs...if BYU beats Air Force, and that remains to be seen, that's why they play the games...it will be a precursor to the following weeks game of once again being on the road. The big cats have had the toughest schedule in the conference...TCU, Air Force and Utah all on the road. You have to love it...two tough games with everything on the line. I had a brother graduate from the Academy, two sons from the "Y" and a son from the "U" with a daughter still going to the "U" ...and I respect all these schools...it's going to be a couple great weeks!!!

Quest for Third Place.
Keep it going Cougies!!

whair ya frum? arkansas?

I think your putting a lot of stock in a shaky Ute team that probably won't crush BYU and for that matter has a very good chance of loosing to a "so called inferior team". With that attitude it will be sad to have your BCS hopes dashed by a lousy BYU Team. Time will tell who is the better team!

Get crushed by what offense? I didnt know Utah had an offense

By #2+ teams in the Pac-10, do you mean Oregon State? The same team who may end up winning the Pac 10 and the same team that Utah beat? By the MWC not stacking up, are you talking about the 5-2 record against the Pac-10 this year, or maybe the penultimate team in the MWC (Wyoming) beating a SEC team on the road this past weekend? By Utah never beating a top 15 program, are you talking about #12 TCU just last week? What planet are you on?

Our offense is strong enough to beat Air Force with our second string players. I expect they'll be in by the end of the third quarter. As Utah struggled to beat Air Force, we'll prove our dominance again and show the rest of the league who the class of the MWC is.

LaVell Edwards stadium will not be full for the Air Force game Saturday. In fact, the team won't even show up. It will, however, play at the Academy. We can only hope the Cougars play well enough to make that Colorado columnist eat his words.

Best team in MWC is TCU. Utah got a couple of breaks on missed field goals and took advantage of it. If that game is in Texas they lose by 2 touchdowns at the very least. TCU has to much speed and quickness for both Utah and BYU. I think the Utah BYU game is anyones to win. Both teams have their weakness, Utah offense and BYU defense. It will be interesting to see who overcomes. It should be a fun game to watch.

Utah throughout history has 3 victories against teams that finished in the top 15. BYU has 5. That could change this year for each team.

BYU got second choice of the head coaches. So far, hasn't that worked out wonderfully for the Cougs? Not so much for the Utes. We'll see what happens in 2 weeks for this year. I am really, really happy with the "second choice" and that you got first.

You didn't know that Utah averages about 33 points a game? You must live in "The Bubble" south of the point of the mountain.

To: overrated
The only team in the MWC that is overrated is the yewties with their 3 gimme wins.

To: scott
Bronco has a better overall record, in conference record and head to head record. Who do you think got the better deal?

To: We Don't Need Unga
Are you kidding me? The way the backups fumble the ball, I don't want anyone carrying the ball other than Fui or Collie if Unga is out. Air Force is disciplined and trained to knock the ball out. We definitely need Unga.

BYU 42, Utah 12 (all field goals)

No. 16 BYU (9-1, 5-1) at Air Force (8-2, 5-1)

Saturday, 1:30 p.m.

LaVell Edwards Stadium

They moved My Stadium?

Aren't we a bit angry? What's a'matta Prop 8 not go your way?

Do you know how we all know Utah is better than TCU? The scoreboard. If my aunt had a beard she would be my uncle. But she doesn't. TCU scored fewer points than Utah. That's how football works. You can cry and moan about USC being better than Oregon State, but if OSU wins out they win the Pac-10. That's how football works. Utah, right now, is the best team in the MWC.

The backup RB's have been very shaky. Without looking at the stats, I would guess that Latu and Diluigi each have 2 fumbles on less than 10 carriers. These guys have not protected the rock at all. I am sure this have been a big concern.

2nd choice coach has worked for BYU short term, but this year is pivtol. Long term, Utah got the number 1 coach. Who cares about previous seasons, ancient history. All that counts now is the current season. Proof is the ranking so far, Utah is in the top ten, BYU IS NOT.... don't cry in two weeks when the UTES DESTROY BYU.... Predication - Utah 35 BYU 7....
