Well Hall didn't come to play. Put Collie back there.
football fan | 6:48 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Max Hall from everywhere! Go Utah!
BJ to Casteel | 6:48 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
for a 34-24 Utah lead --a litle breathing room.
Little it is, since over 14 mins left in the game.
Good game. I am hoping Utah defense will put more pressure on Maxie.

Dear Mr Obama | 6:54 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
How about Paul Kruger for Secretary of Defense?
Hall | 6:55 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Well enjoy this win, you will be destroyed in your BCS game. Hope you get Texas.
RE: Big fan | 6:55 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
What a timely comment.
Little more breathing room. | 6:58 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
But there is still a lot of time left!
Don't let up Utah!

Again, Max is throwing interceptions all by his self....no pressure, just lost
in his ego! In his post game interview will he proclaim these turnovers felt as
good as the ones he liked so much in Logan?

I AM A UTAH MAN!!!!!! One of the joilliest you have ever seen.....surrounded by
cougars on the north shore and loving the current score! 41-24....BCS here we
come!
WinSum | 6:59 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Byu's play calling is very suspect....again....The Utes batted down
numerous passess, should have intercepted 4 more....and still they call pass
plays in the lanes where the defense is....and ignore the run game to balance.
Not Rocket Science, obviously.
Utes played a great game.

Can you say interceptions
4 Picks! | 7:05 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
And there should have been more!
Max Lax big game mentality | 7:05 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Max lacks big game mentality.
Interceptions (4) and fumble.
Cougar fans, repeat after me, 12-0.

Congrats Utah, u guys played great defense today, Max Hall let us down(5
turnovers by himself is pathetic) Good luck in your BCS game!
MIke | 7:06 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
4th interception!!
Vic Sage | 7:06 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Okay, Zoobs. Simple question that even you can answer. Which QB is the Princess
now?
BYU Greg | 7:07 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Max Hall is by far the best worst quarterback in the country. He's
awesome, unless you know the secret: just watch his eyes. He single-handedly
lost this game for the Cougs. Wow, what an inept performance! Go Cougars
2010!!! (Let's just skip next year until we have a new QB).
Coach Whit... | 7:07 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
pour it on.
Improve Utah's BCS standing, score a few more TDs on Cougar.

All Ute fans vote unanimously for Max Hall as MVP of their victory!
Hey Kewgs! | 7:09 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Time to head to your minivans! It's over!!!!!
Run it up | 7:10 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Utes gotta thank Max for continuing to give the ball up. Your D is definately
fast to get in there and make the plays. Nicely played game.

Wow, Max Hall must have learned his passing plays from the Marriot School of
Mismangement.
Bottem line: BYU is a liberal institution and the conservatives of Utah are sending a message to the Cougers and the rest of the America. Remember, BYU names a Public Management Institute after George W. Romney, and Romney was the one who walked out on Barry Goldwater's convention speech. Liberalism fails, and a shot against BYU is a plus for conservatism.
BYU is dishonest. They said this would be a perfect season, and now look at them eating their words.
Go Utes!

Start the celebration Utah. Make the MWC proud in the BCS. Max forced his
passes tonight, but credit the U defense.
It's official: | 7:13 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
harline is no longer open and the 4th and 18 attempt has failed. The miracles
have, officially, ceased. HaHa!!!!!!!!
UTE'S RULE | 7:13 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
UTES ROCK!!! So much for all that talk from the BYU fans who supposedly
don't care. Let the spankin' continue!!!

Except, even Stephen Covey knows you gotta schedule quality competition if you want to ACHIEVE PERFECTION!

For all you fans who don't understand, Utah just won. Very, very
convincingly, I might add!!!!!!!!!!!
Aggie Fan 2 | 7:18 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Apparently the Utes are being blessed more this year than the Cougars for their
good behavior.
HA HA HA | 7:19 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
And the utes present the game ball to... MAX HALL!
Scoobie | 7:20 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
I've got to admit Utah's defense is looking awesome. It will take a
McMahon type effort by Hall for BYU to even get the game back to close.
Unfortunately he's not at that level....at least not yet......Nice picks
Utes.
Don't Cry Kewgs | 7:20 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
You still have your national championship
Harline is still open
4th and 18
Yeah, we have two perfect seasons in this century and 2 BCS bowls, but you still have a lot.

Utah 48 BYU 24 with 2:48 left.
BYU, look on the bright side, thanks to Maxie, you will get an extra check of about 1mil from your share of Sugar Bowl --courtesy of Paul Kruger, BJ and the Utah team.

Kick 'em out! | 7:20 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Should all of the kewgie footballers be kicked off the team, cuz it sure looks
like they haven't been living right (thank you Austin Collie)
My, my, my.... | 7:21 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
48 - 24 UTES with under 3 to play!! I freakin' LOVE IT! (I still think
Ludwig sucks, but that'll keep for another day)
GO UTES!!!!!!! Make my sabbath day Sooooooo, sooooo enjoyable! He he he.

Investigation | 7:22 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
The NCAA has launched an investigation into points shaving between BYU and UTAH.
No suspects have been named at this time but the chief detective was overheard
saying "Max Hall is in HUGE trouble"
Gutless coaches | 7:21 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
This game was lost by the coaches in the first half. Afraid to go for 4th and 2,
they surrendered the only chance they had to take the lead in the entire game.
They even played for a tie at halftime. Even with the turnovers, forced as much
by the pressure of having to play from behind the whole game and then watch the
defense crumble or the special teams forget that they should tackle the red
guys, the offense tried to gut it out.
The team was totally unprepared on defense and they have no one in the system who can play any better. No turnovers. No passes defended. No pressure on the quarterback. What a joke. They were coached to lose and they lost.
Big Kudos to Utah. They made us look like San Diego State on defense. Let's hope they get a good matchup in the BCS and do some damage.
Congratulations Utes. You played an inspired game with skill and commitment.
We'll see you next year in LaVell Edwards Stadium.

the quest! | 7:22 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
The quest for imperfection continues! In Vegas! BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
With this loss | 7:23 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Cougar will drop to 25th in the poll.
BYU = Quest for Mediocrity | 7:24 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Utah has a PERFECT regular season. BYU plays lackluster subdivision teams, and
calls themselves contenders.
BYU's only real competition was TCU and Utah, and they get beat like a goverment mule.
BYU is no different than Ball State. No integrity! BYU is probably ranked #46 now.
Utes rule!
BCS Buster x 2!

This should have been close | 7:25 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
BYU was picking up tons of yards on the ground. Hall blew it for his team.

Looks like it is going to be Alabama and Utah. I'm putting my blue away,
and am taking out my red.
Go Utah! Beat the tide!

ute forever | 7:25 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Max Hall looks like he should graduate early. Six total turnovers for him. Go
Utah!
Hoooooo EEEEEE!!! | 7:26 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Uh, ya. "We all know BYU will pull it off in the end..."
Nice try. Really, that was a great bluff. Would you call 48-24 Utah "pulling it off" for the Cougs? Would you call that "Close"????
Oh it's too much. It's hilarious. I'm rolling on the floor laughing. My 9 year old daughter says, "they're not getting stomped, they're getting trampled."
When even a 9 year old knows what's happening, you know it isn't "close."
Ha ha, you coug fans deserve this. Couldn't have happened to a nicer team ;)

3 & 18? Now the TDS fans are going to hear "Hall back to pass...
INTERCEPTION! UTAH!"
Utes Rule! | 7:26 p.m. Nov. 22, 2008
Weber State was more competition than BYU.
