Currently not accepting any trash talk. Go cougs!

NevadaCoug

Yeah, go Cougars.

Chance to go up two scores on the first drive of the second half? Fizzle.

Chance to stop SDSU on their first drive: Yet another bid play results from BYU's inability to tackle, and SDSU is set up.

But wait! Fumble! No BYU can't come up with it.

3rd and 22...no, 3rd and 27 after a penalty! No problem, Lindley throws a prayer to the endzone and BYU watches it go over their heads for a touchdown.

This team is finding ways to allow an inferior team to stay in the game.

bAH HAAA

BAH HAA HAA!

I think that maybe you've missed something. BYU is an inferior team.

play calling

is terrible. time for anae to make some changes. or hit the road. not creative or intelligent enough to carry the responsibility of directing the offense.

WOW

Worst Defensive back play i have ever seen, This is pitiful. We are going to get DESTROYED next week.

HAHAHAHA

This game was very reminiscent of last year's meltdowns vs. UNLV and Colorado State. The boogars again show their true form. That and TCU coming alive today to drop 44 on Colorado State means BYU is going to get pounded next week. I can't wait!

Couger fan

A win is a win. BYU is an average team finding ways to win. Need better play calling.

Yner

Wow, way to keep a terrible team in the game. I thought this year was 2004 revisted

Re:Yner

sort of like san diego state?

Coug Dad

HAHAHAHA apparently didn't watch the games last year. The CSU and UNLV games came down to the end in dramatic fashion. BYU was clearly in control of both of these games, but they also are not playing up to their potential in key situations. That is coaching. I'm not sure what's going on with the O-line coaching (although it certainly isn't what it was a few years ago) and silly penalties continue to bother them.

TCU won't be overpowering as a lot of people suspect. It will be a tough game, but the home field should come into play here. Its too bad the groundskeepers are the biggest drawback for the Cougs this year. I'd turn the field into a swamp and not have cut the grass since last year if I were the Cougs. Unfortunately, the Cougs have too much sense of fair play for that.

ute4me

Well the Y won but poor play calling by offense in critical situations..not smart..coaches almost cost the boys their game. we Utah should match up with the coogs but TCU may not do as well as expected against either the Y or Utah. Go Utah Go Coogs go mountain west.

DennyG

A win is NOT a win. This win stunk clear to Massachusetts.
This is no way to get respect from anyone outside of Utah County.
Face it Bougars, another year lost.
It wasn't the coaches, it wasn't the playcalling, it wasn't the referees, it was sloppy, poorly played football. Kind of the Provo norm the past few years.

SDSU...

...is NOT a terrible team. As for next week, you don't know how teams match up until they play. TCU is notorious for laying eggs in BIG games. That said, BYU better find some pass defense by next Saturday.

hopefully

BYU was watching film on TCU all week and let this one go by with little preparation.

TCU Fan

Can't wait for the big game. May the best team win. Of course I'm biase and need to scream for TCU. Watch out Cougars...

dodger

BYU does not have a disciplined team. And why they don't really puzzles me. Everything that should promote discipline, BYU has. Whats the deal??????? I think it's milk fed Mormon kids. What a shame.

RE: Denny G

DennyG: How would you know what the stench was in Massachusetts? Bet you it was more from the Buckeyes loss to Purdue than BYU's win at SDSU. NO, BYU did not play well, but neither did Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, Va Tech, etc. Teams have down days. Go back to cheering on your Utes and keep your poor sportmanship to yourself. I cheer for your Utes in good times or bad (excepting one day a year). Man up and be a sport. GO MWC teams. Good to see SDSU on the rise. And they ARE on the rise.

Enough

Okay, I am a die hard cougar fan, but enough is enough. It is time to fire anae and probably bronco as well. He has taken the program as far as it can go. Time for change.

NevadaCoug

This is looking a lot like last season, but for BYU already having one loss. They struggled in the game before facing TCU and were not very healthy at that point in the season either.

This season they struggled mightily against SDSU, and are pretty banged up. Next week could be pretty ugly.

As a Cougar fan, I'm not feeling very confident at all.
