This game for the Y will be a piece of cake; the Y is the most disciplined and talented team in college football unlike those BCS schools with players who have no discipline but some talent.

Discipline? Yup. Penetration? Yup-Yup!

If you don't stop the Falcons a lot behind the line, it'll be a long day.

BYU, strangely enough, hasn't employed the proper defense against the Falcons very many times. It's weird that the same coaching staffs will do it correctly one year, then not the next. Very strange.

We'll see which coaching mindset shows up today.

PENETRATE, guys!

Whats the deal with the game being on CBS C? I thought the MTN was supposed to be there so everyone could watch the games!

I see the AFA game as a loss for the Cougars, simply because BYU has not demonstrated focus and strong play on the road. The Huskie Aggie, and Horned Frog games are my argument. You people who take the optimistic view have no legs to stand on in terms of what has happened this season. If BYU comes out of this game with the same "by the skin of their teeth" result as in the recent CSU game, they will be pulverized by the Utes on 11/22/08.....trust me.

Nevertheless, I will be rooting them on to possible victories. In the history of the Cougar-Falcons games, the Cougars have only rarely dominated these games, when they clearly have the superior weight advantage in the trenches. It only proves that overwhelming size comparison does not prevail with the apparent lack of focus and fitness level, which the Falcons have shown to be the better prepared. I don't understand this. Pigging out at the training table, gaining weight does not stack up with fitness, quickness and football savvy, and between the ears play on the field. The Cougars need to play smart football, play as a team, and forget about their personal goals.

BYU Fan (Utah Valley), to refute your post, all I have to say is 22-6 in BYU's favor, a fact you must have missed.

The Dnews must pay by Harmon in farm animals.
