    This is why the state of Utah is going to embarrass us all and give its four electoral votes to Trump. It's still dominated by religious crazies, as much as some of us would like to think otherwise.

    I am no religious crazy at all. But Hell Yeah Trump! Just plain crazy.

    Oregon State has any many conference wins as Michigan State, Miss State, and Arizona combined.

    We are the best team BYU will face all year. If Boise St has six TO's, BYU won't lose.

    It surprised me that this game opened as even.

    WVU, Utah and a healthy UCLA are all better than Boise. Really good chance BYU wins and Kalani gets 10 wins his first year. Damn. Heck, Toledo may be better than Boise.

    If school down south had lost to Miss. St., going .500 and getting humbled at home, believe it or not I was feeling I would want them to beat Boise State, knocking the Idaho trucking institute out of most post season discussions. But, seeing that the provostan school pulled it out, I now would like to see them get destroyed, take no prisoners.

    Harsin has the look and mannerisms of Bronco on the sidelines. Creepy. As far as the 4th down call? I don't think a first time PeeWee coach would've made that call. Stunningly incompetent.

    Has any coach on the BYU staff admitted to calling that play? I am curious about whose brainchild it was.

    Sitake fell on the sword. Said they had seem something on tape that convinced them it would work, and decided to go for it when BSU lined up in that formation. Said they wanted to be aggressive. Boise however switched out of that formation at the last second. Oh well. Taking a beating nationally for that decision. Boise got no points out of it, apparently.

    That decision was almost as bad as BYU's decision to go independent.

    Keep in mind, they tried this once and the Giants called a timeout to get a look at the formation.

    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

    I was just saw that play. My first thought was that somehow Crowton was back in charge.

    i go back and forth on that. Their offensive line and receivers are so bad that Mangum would have been a sitting duck. Hill's running ability kept them in several games, including ours.

    I don't buy that. Mangum just wasn't that good last year. His stats were padded massively by a bunch of jump balls to his tall receivers against bad teams. He sucked against P5 teams. And I've spoken with someone I trust on the BYU side of things who swears that Hill greatly outperformed Mangum as a passer in camp.

    The talking heads around here think differently. While there is some merit to the idea that Mangum is a better thrower than Hill, the problem is the o-line couldn't protect Mangum. Hill is at least able to use his feet to escape pressure and attempt to make a play.

    Having only seen one game of BYU this year (vs Utah), I tend to agree.

    So, this means its BYU until we play Baylor then?

    12 wins in a row it is then!

    We'll hit the Big 12 before BYU does!
