Comments about ‘BYU hopes to avoid recent upset bug’

Sam Boyd stadium can be a difficult place for the cougars to play. We can all be sure that UNLV will be up and ready for this game. While I think our coaches will have our team ready, it will be a close, hard fought game. It will probably come down to who demonstrates the greater ball security.
I predict a BYU win 27 to 24.

No contest. BYU will blow it open early.

Sam Boyd stadium may be a tough place to play, and I agree that the key for BYU is to take control of the ball, but if they do that I don't think that the score will be that close. 28-14 with UNLV's second touchdown coming in the closing minutes after the game has been decided.

Sam Boyd a difficult place to play? Are you kidding? It's tiny and will be filled to capacity with a sea of Cougar blue.

What? Sam Boyd Stadium can be a tough place for BYU to play? We've never lost to UNLV there. We've only lost one game there - the Las Vegas Bowl against Cal.

This game is losable, but the stadium has been our home away from home.

Apparently you weren't at the BYU-UNLV game in Vegas two years ago. There were so many Cougar fans there, I think it's appropriate that their stadium be named "Little Lavell Edwards Stadium."

Easy win for the cougars. Second string could beat UNLV at BYU's other home stadium.

How many times have we heard.... and stated out of our own mouths .... "we've never lost there", or "we will blow them out", and the unexpected happens? Let's beware that anything can happen. Let's hope the Cougars are focused and ready to play.

Sam Boyd is BYU's second home field. There will be as many Cougar fans as Rebel fans there, including yours truly. RAH RAH RAH RAH RAH! GOOOOOOO COUGARS!

Michigan had never lost to a D-1AA team- at home- until this year. We'd never lost to Tulsa on the road... until this year. A lot of "We never... until this year" moments have dotted this season, and the Cougars are wise to not overlook UNLV this weekend. The rebels just shut out a team that beat a preseason Top 10 team. The last thing I want to see is another Tulsa game.

I was at a game for the WAC championship we lost at Sam Boyd as well so dont say we have never lost or only lost once. Lets hope we are focused and ready this week and also make sure we have all the facts before we post

I'm so excited for this game!!!

Go cougs!

Everybody needs to hold their overconfident attitudes until after. I've never been a fan of arrogance, and there are a lot of arrogant statements on this board. Quit calling it "an easy win" or "Home away from home." It's tactless word like those that make poor sportsmanship. Predict a win if you wish, but have some class about it.

Go Cougars!

hmmm sounds familiar. Sam Boyd stadium is BYU's home away from home.. kinda like Lavell Edward's stadium is Utah's home away from home. They've lost once there in the last six tries, maybe thats why they're starting to call it R.E.S. Rice Eccles South

Brandon:
You are right. But, I think most people were saying we've never lost to them there or we've only lost once at the stadium were in response to Dean's comment on the power of Sam Boyd.
Dean:
That is rediculous to say that Sam Boyd is a difficult place to play. Where did you come up with that? However, it is definitely NOT rediculous to think that UNLV can beat the cougars.
DJ:
You probably were one on those guys saying that we would shut out Tulsa and that their offense would be shocked by our defense. Right? Look what UNLV did to the Utes (who probably will win BYU this year) and what they did with Wisconsin.

Good Luck Cougars. I am sure the UNLV rebels will feel the same way and recognize that you have always (mostly) beat them and just roll over and acknowledge that you are a better team and that you have a lot of fans in the stands so why the heck play the game? Right?

I am sure Bronco isn't thinking that way right now or Hall or Unga. I hope not.

Personally I think they are going to be so up for you that they will throw everything and the stray cat at you from the moment kickoff hits. I think they will do anything to smash Hall into the ground at any chance they get.

Nobody is immune from being beaten this or any other year. UNLV is not a weak team.

Good Luck Cougars

Actually Utah is 6-1 in provo since 1993. Bottom line is that since 1993 Utah has OWNED that stadium. And we really wish you guys would take better care of our second home.

Utah 34, BYU 31, 'nuff said...

Score early and often, crank up the run game and turn losse the linebackers.

After reading all of your comments it's no wonder why nobody likes you. I can fully understand why nobody else in the conference cheers for you. You are all so self righteous and arrogant.

We are not the same Rebels of the past - I admit you still have the better team this year and you should win - however if anyone of you idiots knows anything about football, you know that anything can happen. As good as you all think you are, you are still very beatable - do you have "good" win this year?? hmmm..I don't think so. The only team in our conference that has a "good win" are the
bi-polar Utes - and we handed it to them.
