Go BYU!
21-3 over LOWBLOWS
BYU is getting worse on offense and they relied again on a lame "block in the back" call to win the game. They may have still won but that would have made it a 4 point game. Point being BYU is not getting better and quite frankly they are pretty weak unless they are HOME. LOOK AT WHAT TEAMS have done at UW to UW, a lot more than BYU for sure.
Officially the worst #8 team ever, unproven, with a weak schedule. LAME performance, if you can even call it a performance:)
Lobos played tough and were well prepared. Next week will be the real test.
"Good Guy Gary" you are a SAD imposter.
Two undefeated teams midway through the season is great for the state. Let's all hope they can both stay undefeated until THE game in NOV. What a show down it will be. They both have had close games and some lackluster games... but have both managed to pull out the W's. Nice going!
Let's see how well you do against New Mexico! I'm tired of the Ute fans posting nasty comments on BYU articles.
I travel a lot for business and fans of top ranked teams throughout the U.S. are VERY AWARE of the great football program at BYU!
I think any team can lose on any given day and the upsets we have seen this year prove that! This is MWC play and a win is a win! Listening to the after game show Max & Austin said every game from here on out is going to be a "dog fight, we will take the win 21-3!" They clearly respect their opponents!
GO COUGARS!!
I think many fans failed to recognize that UNM is a tough football team that has no trouble getting amped to play BYU. Further, they aren't without talent and determination.
People who understand football will agree this was a good win. In the final analysis, the people who vote in the polls will be far more impressed with BYUs 12-0 record (should they get there) than with the fact that they beat some middle of the road teams by less than blowout margins.
12-0 will get BYU into a BCS game. It might not get them into the national championship game this year, but if they go 12-0 and win their BCS game, they will be ideally positioned to get into the national championship game next year. Don't forget, they have lots of talent returning!
Keep the faith, and be positive.
Go Cougars!!
That being said, however, a win is a win and BYU has strung a whole bunch of them together (sorry, my Utah education keeps me from being able to count that high).
But what I do know is that BYU will be ready for Utah come November 22, regardless of what either team's record is at the time, and BYU WILL WIN THAT GAME. I smell a 3-peat and we will see how much smack little brother up on the hill has in him when the not-so-mighty Utes go down to BYU for the 3rd straight year! I can hardly wait!
Go Cougars!!!
It's simple--one person takes QB, one person takes RB. Seemed like BYU never made adjustments, and when a better offense runs both of those plays consistently against BYU defense, the Y will lose. Seems like TCU and the U should take note.
Plus the lame offensive PI called on Collie in the end zone when the defender was obviously grabbing on to his arm, stalled a BYU drive in the first half.
It was low scoring mostly because UNM did a good job running the ball. Good for the Lobos. Now it's time for TCU. Go cougars.
Sincerely,
Big Traveler
I don't think the Ute posters are giving the Lobos their due respect. Keep in mind that the Utes almost lost to Air Force, let Weber High score 21 points points on them and let UNLV hang with them for the first half and they are still ranked 14 and nobody seems to be mentioning that. Is it because of the qaulity win over Michigan (just lost to toledo) or the win over Oregon state (who handed the game to them by giving them a short field after a squib kick.) I think the Utes will lose at least two conference games (New Mexico and TCU)
As for the Utes who play the '6 degrees of Kevin Bacon' to prove they are better than BYU; didn't Michigan lose to the former Lake Erie Community College, or was it Toledo? In either case, your big stellar win this year against Michigan isn't a top 14 performance either.
The 6 degrees game is fun when you compare say BYU or Utah to Oklahoma vie TCU. In the case of comparing BYU and Utah just wait until Nov then one side can talk all the smack they want.
Let me add one bit to consider. BYU is the most hated team in the nation. Most other teams are more excited at the prospects of beating BYU than they are Utah. For what ever that's worth.
See you in November ladies.
However, I sympathize, I have had a tough time swallowing the fact that you guys just might be decent this year; I am sure that it is difficult to admit that BYU just might be good as well.
Here's to an unbeaten November 22 (but deep down still hoping the Utes lose one or two along the way).
GO BYU.
I live in Calif. and travel 100% of the time for my job all over the US and believe it or not...the world!! The people I talk to are colleagues, fellow travelers on planes & in airports & airline clubs that are trying to catch their team scores on game day!!
One of the most popular sports shows here in Southern Calif. called the BYU football program "one of the classiest in college football"...and that's a direct quote!
Would you believe the Coach of UNM just said in his post game comments..."I'm not here to talk about BYU, enough people talk about BYU!!" (guess I'm not alone!)
P.S. I'm a Cougar fan AND a true Laker fan...oooh...how can that be??? somehow that doesn't fit the Utah Bubble scenario...but your comments certainly do!!
Didn't BYU score more than two offensive touchdowns against Wyoming?
Didn't BYU score their first TD and their first third down conversion against Wyoming before the last two minutes of the second half.
Get it out while you can Utes.
BYU is the best team in the State of Utah.
Utah will end up tied for third in conference again this year, behind BYU and TCU.
