Game

Washington was cheated. End of discussion

Wah, wah, wah

Extra point blocked!!! Doesn't matter if it was on the 10 or the 25 yard line. Scoreboard is all that matters.

Realistic Fan

BYU had that game given to them. They have NO defense. They didn't stop the run and left receivers open all over the field. Our defensive front line played like a bunch of girl scouts. What a grim performance!

Cougars got lucky

The Cougars should have killed the Huskies (who are picked to finish 8-9 in the Pac-10). This is the second week in a row that BYU hasn't looked like a top 25 team.

Hopefully BYU will wake up.

Unga played a great game.

Yes!

Courar's rock. 2-0 baby!!

Your boy still needs to make the extra point - don't blame your loss on the Refs when you can not make a 35 yard extra point.

Maybe it was a bad call, but BYU still blocked the kick...and likely would have blocked a close PAT as well... why act like the call automatically meant BYU won???

12 in a row

End of discussion.

Offence - A
Defense - D-

If the defense continues like this, it will be a dissappointing season.

Embarrassing

BYU almost lost to the worst team in the Pac-10.
Quest for what...
We'll be lucky to win 9 games.

Ugh.

I guess magic happened again.

Re:Game

BYU was cheated on non-calls. BYU wins. End of discussion.

A block is still a block

Whether you agree with a penalty that was called within the rules or not, a blocked extra point is still a blocked extra point.

Magic happens.

Washington wasn't cheated, it was just part of the game, but BYU sure has no defense. Or to state it better BYU has a very slow defense. It was obvious as you watched them that a team with talent and speed would run all over them. Sorry fans but BYU is not a top 25 team.

Doesn't matter from where the PAT was attempted when it's BLOCKED. Good job Cougars!

To game.

Read the rules. PAC 10 officiating crew. End of discussion.

Sore Loser

And how was Washington cheated? Seems to me that you are a SORE LOSER.

After two weeks both BYU and Utah have won on the road against a BAD team and after Utah's win tonight, will both have won at home against a "lesser" opponent.

Looks like the stars are in line for a November show down!

only one word can describe BYU's performance the last three games....pathetic

we won end of story

Celebration has been that way since the beginning of time. If you don't like it whatever but it was a good call.

Secondly it doesn't matter!!! WE BLOCKED THE KICK! GAME OVER!!

Oh and last of all there was a huge hold they got away with on the last drive!!!! Washington can't blame it on the refs. We beat them!

Cougar's defense is terrible! Offense was superb.

What's up with the defense? That was a horrible defensive effort. Bad, bad, bad.
