ASU is clearly the best team in the conference. Amazing when you think about it. Picked #16 in preseason polls. Scatteboo is a work horse.

I dont like Dillingham because he is an immature cry baby, but give him credit. Dammit, why couldn’t you guys hold on to defeat ISU a couple of weeks ago so my Zoobs had another crack at ASU.

I think we’d have lost again though. ASU is playing their best ball of the season, beating 3 contenders in last 4 weeks (ksu, byu, isu).

Retzlaff cost us the Kansas game with that terrible int to end the first half when we had 2 minutes and first and goal from the 5.

Another pick 6. As a zoob fan I envy your suffocating defense. BYU doesn’t pressure the qb and rarely gets sacks.

I love the BYU late night games. Took some getting used to, but we play much better at night than early. As long as it’s dry I can handle the cold. It’ll be mud 30s so as long as no wind, I can handle it.

Growing up going to zoob games in the 80s, all the games started at 1:30 or Noon. Those early season games could be hot. But it seemed right at the time. Now tv dictates. As long as I can see my team I am fine with it.

I’m a BYU fan and totally agree with your assessment of the Utes and BYU basketball teams. I have been impressed by Utah.

BYU has been winning comfortably, however, we are a terrible free throw shooting team, and our defense is bad.

Bet Bama gets in with 3 losses. But they shouldn’t. Really, the ACC could make a claim for 2 teams. Miami, SMU, and Clemson should get in over a 3 loss SEC team, but we all know how it will turn out.

That was a horse s**t call. Cost Utah a very makeable 45 yard field goal.

Sorry to link Cougarboard, but here are all the probabilities. BYU has a 51% probability. ASU about 65% and ISU a little higher than BYU. Colorado really screwed themselves today.

No, Isaac is not a major run game threat like his brother Zach was. Also shorter. I honestly think he will end up in the MW or big sky.

I could see byu throwing a bone at him just to keep the Wilsons in the BYU camp, but I just don’t see him winning the qb job. Retzlaff could play 2 more years because he only played 4 games last year and saved was till able to redshirt.

[Matt]

I think ASU is giving you guys a run for most hated fan base in the Conference. They were a disgrace yesterday. BYU is surprisingly liked by this new league. Give it a few years though, and hopefully we will be most hated again. That would mean that we are winning consistently. Also, the religious bigotry always is a big factor.
