BYU football: Dreams can be dashed at TCU

ARE WE PLAYING TCU IN SALT LAKE

Great article! This is what makes college football so exciting! Mano a mano out there on the gridiron, a game within a game at every position. There is no doubt emotions will be running high for both teams. Statistically, BYU's offense is the best in the conference. No doubt TCU's game plan will be similar to what New Mexico's was; dominate the clock, keep BYU's offense off the field, hold the score low and move the chains with long, time consuming drives. BYU's game plan will certainly be to score early and be able to run the ball enough to force TCU's defense to respect the running game, and open up the passing game. Execution will win this game! Go Cougars!

In Texas Mark...in Texas late Thursday afternoon. GO BYU

Good luck Cougars! This state has been dreaming of a season like this for a long time and we are 1/2 way there. Let's cheer for both schools to move up in the polls and each be 11-0 on November 22nd.

Keep it classy on the blogs. I've been a Utah season ticket holder for nearly 30 years for both football and basketball. It's a fun rivalry and very competitive. It's fun to badger each other a little on here but let's remember, we are fighting for the same cause, to defeat the BCS structure as it exists today. Out two schools could have a winning record in ANY conference.

Good luck BYU!

GO UTES!!!!!!

I don't know why this article says Rice-Eccles Stadium. The game's in Fort Worth! Maybe the writer is over-anxious for the BYU-Utah "holy war" at the end of the season--I know I am!!

I am hoping that the reason they didn't use the running game on New Mexico was so they would have fresh legs for TCU. I am frustrated with BYU because I know they are better than what they have been playing the last few games.

No but Utah is....

No Mark, "we" don't play any of our games in SLC. We play our games in Provo, but no, this game is in Texas, as the article stated. If you're a Yewt asking if the U plays in SLC, then clarify who you mean when you write "we".

BYU can also dash the dreams of TCU. Go cougs!

The top 3 MWC opponents all on the road. The real season starts Thursday.

Good luck Cougars!

All you Coug fans better not put this one in the win column just yet. Only difference between TCU and BYU (or Utah), is that TCU has played a top tier team (Oklahoma). If they had played all cup cakes they would be undefeated as well. Likewise of the Cougs or Utes had played Oklahoma in Norman, they would most likely have one in the L column.

The article says BYU is playing in Fort Worth, in Rice-Eccles Stadium. Hmmm. They have a Rice Eccles Stadium too?

Okay, here is the first test for the Cougs and spotlighted on national TV no less. BYU must make a statement here since on paper TCU could be their first quality team to beat.

Win decisively on the road and the respect will vault them into the next tier of poll-ville. Lose and the best you will get is the Lost Wages bowl and that only if you can beat Utah and Utah beats TCU.

The Quest continues Thursday night so bring your "A" game and don't let up! The eyes of the country are upon you!

And are we playing Friday night instead of Thursday ?

The TCU game is in Ft. Worth, Texas.

Yes you are playing TCU in Salt Lake City.
The week after you lose to New Mexico in Albuquerque!

The article states that the game is being played at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Unless TCU's stadium is also named Rice-Eccles Stadium, that's a misprint that could send many BYU fans to SLC to cheer on the Rams.

TCU is no walk in the park. They may be the best team in the MWC. If BYU doesn't bring their "A" game to Texas, it will be a Texas Whoopin' on Saturday. So all you Cougar fans talking smack the past few days had better buckle up for the ride of your life as it will be two hours of football instead of two hours of yawning when you play USU.
