      Pretty much sums up the season for both TSPP and Utah

      At least there were a couple of people who took the free money being offered with that +3 line

        I thought for sure the zoo would cover. Would have been willing to bet a large sum of money on it. Glad I didn’t.

      This BYU season reminds me of Utahs season in 2008, where it took 3 major miracles to beat TCU, Oregon State and one other I am forgetting.

      Not nearly as dominant as 2004, but every imaginal break went their way. As opposed to byu’s 9-4 season I. 2016. Lost 4 games by a total of 7 points.

        Ohio St is loving this. Or Oregon.

        Whoever is #2 in the Big 10 will get Boise St in the first round and BYU in the second.

        Talk about the easiest path to a championship. Crazy. That team will go into the semifinals with a +80 point differential.

          This BYU team gives me 2022 TCU vibes where they get every break (with officiating help) and then will get the doors blown off in a playoff game.

        Utah was the second luckiest team in 2008. You don’t win all your games without a little luck. The retzlaff fumbles for example, years past that’s 6 for Utah

        Oh OK Matt…thanks for bringing that up…please inform us in which game during the Utah 2008 football season did the Utes receive a handout from the refs to win? I’m not talking about a close game, I’m talking about a game where if an official doesn’t intervene, Utah loses. I’ll wait…

        Magic happens, lol. Austin Colie was wearing a t shirt that said “magic happens” last night after the game on the set of the byu tv post game show.

        Every BYU win since 1998 has taken a miracle except for 2021. As a byu fan I’ll take it I wouldn’t rank thus byu team in byu’s top 10 seasons, but who knows, this is power 4 football, wheras the teams from the late 70s to 2010 was wac/mwc.
