Top 10 plays during the BYU football season

There were way more than 10 good plays.
There just so awesome!

Ernest T. Bass is right, there were so many awesome plays. Let's keep listing them:

11. Max Hall's perfect pass to Sean Smith.

12. Max Hall's perfect pass to Joe Dale.

13. Max Hall's perfect pass to Paul Kruger.

14. Max Hall's gutsy shuttling of the ball on the ground to find the open Paul Kruger.

15. A wonderful Facebook site dedicated to Austin Collie's verbal acumen and tact.

You're kidding me, right? Does anyone really care about BYU's "Top 10" plays for '08? This article is totally embarrassing coming on the heels of Utah's appearance in the Sugar Bowl.

Here are some better titles:

1. "Top 10 plays that DIDN'T Matter!"
2. "Top 10 plays of a 'lack-luster' season."
3. "Top 10 plays of the losing season."
4. "Top 10 plays of BYU's Mediocrity."

Harmon did get it right when he said that losing to Utah was the "Worst loss."

As a Cougar fan - GOOD LUCK to the UTES!!
Beat 'BAMA!

You are so ridiculously lame. You actually think for a second that you can disguise yourself as a Coug fan? We all can smell the stench of a Ute troll. Go ahead claim scoreboard, it was disappointing to lose to the U, but give me a break already.

In spite of some of these insufferable Ute fans, I do hope the Utes beat 'bama. I can't stand the BCS.

You're right. You got me!! I am a Ute FAN. . . Way to go, that was a hard one to figure out.

However, I'm surprised that you admit you're a BYU fan. Pres. Monson would appreciate your "We all can smell the stench of a Ute troll" statement.

Hate is in your heart.

"Hate is in your Heart"

Says the Ute fan who visits BYU articles to talk smack. Good one.

Go back to your cave Ute fan.

BYU football is irrelevant, their Quest for Perfection season was officially put out of misery in Vegas.

Please move on, the only relevant football program in Utah is playing tomorrow.

Go UTES!!

Because so of us don't give a damn about utah.

And if you want to talk about utah, go to the utah blog.

And since your here. Roll Tide!

You guys can't let it be can you? Little brother can't stomach an article about BYU without commenting. You make us releveant and prove that BYU is in your heads every time you post your rubbish after reading BYU articles. You also prove that you are not true Ute fans since you are surfing the net instead of in New Orleans enjoying Utah's once every four yrs good season.

"Experts connected to the program claim that single statistic [turnovers] looms as the most significant reason � not the defense � as to why the Cougars did not win a least a piece of the league title and finish 12-1."

LOL!!! Who are these so called experts? If they're BYU coaches then BYU program is in real trouble (see facts below).

I am no expert but looking at statistics on ESPN I personally think TCU, Utah, and UofA DEFENSES had something to do with the fact that BYU finished 10-3.

BYU's defense stunk, if not please explain these facts: BYU...

Allowed the mighty Washington 0-12 team to score 27 points, second most points scored in a game by the Huskies (they scored 28 points against the powerhouse 5-7 Standford team).

Allowed 5-7 UNLV to score 35 points at BYU.

Allowed 42 points by CSU.

If D News pays I can do a better job writing this article, I won't even use experts to back my facts.

As a True Blue BYU Fan, I reserve the right to criticize MY Team anytime I like!

I am VERY disappointed in the team this year. I am downright ANGRY with that idiot Max Hall! He blew the last two games! He just threw them away!

I am disappointed in Coach Mendenhall. He spends too much time playing like he's a bishop to these kids instead of a football coach. The firesides have got to go! I agree with someone else on here who said Bronco is getting paid to coach football, not to teach religion to these guys!

I LOVE the fact that Utah is playing the Tide in the Sugar Bowl! They deserve it, and I hope they win impressively!

So don't go calling ME a Ute Troll! I'm just a justifiably disgruntled Y fan!

FYI: Season is over... get over it and go watch the Rose Bowl.

I don't see a Weber State article, which can be argued had a better year this year.

"Little brother can't stomach an article about BYU without commenting."

Its not about that, its that it is little brothers time to shine so get out of our spotlight.

This article would have been appropriate right after the Vegas Bowl not a day before Utah plays in the biggest game in MWC history.

"And since your here. Roll Tide!"

I hope they do Roll Over and die, something like BYU did this year against superior teams.

Out of curiosity, I opened the Deseret News sport's page to see if it were possible to go a day without an article about BYU football. I guess it isn't. Since there isn't anything relevant to write about, Harmon has to go back over the past four months to find something nice to say.

I am excited about Utah's game tomorrow. I realize that no one is giving them a chance, but I predict Alabama will be blindsided. I have found those who believe the hype about themselves have a difficult time when reality hits. I think it will be close.

And honestly, I hope the best for BYU football, as I have two sons who are avid fans, one of whom is a student there.

NICE!!!

Hey, I want the kewger fans who posted comments today to know that my feelings have really been hurt with the whole "Petey" and "cave" comments. . . that's not nice.

If feel so 'beaten down.' So 'demoralized.' So . . . 48 to 24!

This article was perfect for any cheap shot artist. Both Utah and BYU have fans that should be taken behind the barn and shot, given their crazy comments. I have a plan. BYU your football season is over and you are very lucky that your team only lost three games. Believe it or not, BYU had a poor defensive program .

You do have a good BB team this year. I hope the Y and the U have a good season this year. The only real bitch we both have is the final games of the year being play at UNLV. GO UTAH BEAT ALABAMA

After Bama cleans the Utes, let's have them take another run at the Broncos. I think they will come up short there too. Can you say 36-3 at RES?

Like usual, about 90% of the comments on this feed are ridiculous, by both Y and U fans. U fans reading articles about the Y to attack them on the message boards is so pathetic, but so are Cougar fans who actually respond to the ridiculous posts. I am a U student who until the BYU/Utah game this year cheered for both teams, and really only ever wanted a close game in the rivalry. So I should be cheering for Utah against Alabama tomorrow, but the things I heard people say to Y fans about the LDS church, their lifestyle, and of course football converted me to a full-fledged Y fan. I was so disappointed in the student body and others at the game, that I left at halftime when it was still a game. So, after that experience I can never see myself cheering for Utah in anything ever again, and I am a U student.

move on.
2008 season is awfully bad.
2009 does not look any better --probably 8-4 record with a third place in MWC

to : BYU football fans...

Myself, like most BYU football fans have moved on from our disappointing 2008 season, but the question is how do you figure that 2009 will result in an 8-4 record and third place in the MWC? Please explain

Our first two hits will come from Oklahoma and Florida State. P.S. Our defense is still slow and Hall likes throwing to guys in Red shirts and Purple Shirts. That called 8 and 4. Home field will not stop TCU or the U.
