BYU football: Unga gives BYU something to cheer about

Serious | 11:25 p.m. Sept. 19, 2009

BYU embarrassed the non-BCS schools in every regard. BYU really WAS the front-runner. BYU has shown that at every position including RB they do not hold up to the measuring stick in big games, EVER. How embarrassing for BYU fans.

heres to running the table on the MWC. I am pretty sure he runs for 200 yards against that weak defense up north. Man are they pathetic. .

This is an article about Harvey, so take your stupid comments to the other article for those of you who are making them, please.

I did like how Harvey played in this game, if anything. I don't think he's ever personally had a bad game, even in the TCU and Utah losses last year. For FSU being the unparalleled speed whores of college football, "big slow Harvey" had a pretty stellar game. Both of BYU's 2nd quarter touchdowns were runs by Harvey beating the defense around the edge, and I was like "where was FSU's speed on those 2 plays?"

I give full credit to FSU in this game. Honestly they played like a top 25 team tonight, and if they play that hard against everyone they could beat anybody, seriously. The solid play of their offensive line was the biggest surprise to me, and their incredible clutch on 3rd down blew me away. No wonder they put up those numbers. They wanted this win bad.

This is one of those games BYU needs to write off ASAP and get ready for Colorado St. BYU can still go 12-1 which Mendenhall has yet to do.

who cares how Unga did. If BYU's defense is this bad then the offense will never have the ball long enough to give him carries. BYU's defensive coaching staff should issue a public apology for that pathetic performance

If the coaches only would have called Unga's name more often, we would have won this game.

Just like we would have won the Utah game last November.

unga looked hurt to me when he went out - hope he is really healed up.

Tough loss, turnovers killed us.

Im 12 years old and I know that the coaches should have gone with a better game plan and should have been more prepared.

That's really funny. Wait, that is supposed to be a joke, right? Sometimes it's hard to tell with BYU fans.

yesterday sucked | 2:51 p.m. Sept. 20, 2009

misery loves company, no love lost betwwen the yewts and the team of rms

thanks byu | 5:24 a.m. Sept. 21, 2009

for the win vs ou- and the embarrasment vs florida state. after a massive step forward for all of us, we get blindsided the next week. at least the utes had a close game

thanks byu | 9:45 a.m. Sept. 21, 2009

The Utes had an close game against a mediocre Oregon team. They also had a close game with san jose state. Let's just face it the Utes are a horrible team this year and will never get back to their bcs days.

Ouch | 11:21 a.m. Sept. 21, 2009

It is better to lose a close game to an unranked BCS team on the road, than get spanked by an unranked BCS team at home; however, neither option is ideal.

At least now both teams can focus on Mountain West Conference games

200+ Yards | 1:51 p.m. Sept. 21, 2009

I doubt Harvey will run for 200+ yards in any game, because for some wierd, unknown reason, he never gets the touches that he deserves. Anae continues to hit the panic button and throw, throw, throw. What about controlling the game, even when you are behind--keep the opposing team's offense off the field, by running the ball. Anae seems to do this every time things go wrong for BYU. He panics and thinks that they have to catch up immediatly rather than looking at the entire game.

Harvey nearly runs for 100 yards on only 10 carries. It is just amazing that he doesn't get the ball more.

re: thanks byu | 4:08 p.m. Sept. 21, 2009

The oregon QB completed 4 passes total. He can't throw! Your Utes had a closs game with a nobody!

Now your unranked... How sad! Oregon isn't ranked because they looked horrible! Utah looked even worse!

Everybody in the nation saw on ESPN pathetic Utah was!

No hope for Utah!.... SORRY!
