    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 can understand Van Noy's frustration. He gets to live the rest of his life knowing that he couldn't beat the rival.

    Former rival. We really need to get over the CU hump.

    That was more tense than it needed to be. Time to take a walk to cool off.

    CU is Utah's rival. Utah is still BYU's rival.

    That's a good idea. The first 5 minutes or so of the 3rd quarter really ticked me off, especially giving up that 3rd and long for a first down. Then Hill got the long run. I can't enjoy the win because I'm still ticked about those two plays.

    Um, I am a Ute fan and all but what was the story on that no-PI call on the final play?

    One takeaway for me is that the Utes are getting better week by week. Am I right? Or just using red lenses?

    if you saw the replay, both players were going after each other rather than trying to catch the ball. The Ute player definitely interfered, but the BYU player grabbed the Ute's jersey and pulled the defender on top of him and made it look worse than it was.

    Thanks, I feel better. I will watch that on the DVR version.

    Please hire a new DC. Sitake may be a good man, but he's woefully inadequate as DC. Clearly, Whit doesn't agree with my view. hmmmmm.....

    The BYU guy was doing what DVC did all last year: try to draw the PI flag rather than catch the ball.

    My guess is that was what he was coached to do, and it would be smart if done well. The game can't end on a penalty, and BYU would get to run an untimed play from 15 yards closer. If he catches it, the game is over. Why else would they not throw the Hail Mary to the end zone? (I guess it's possible Taysom can't throw that far, but all the more reason to try to get 15 yards closer to run another play).

    LA,
    Defense definitely better this week - what an effort! Offense just good enough but really needed to be better tonight - 1-13 on 3rd down conversions and yet managed to win. Play calling needs to be a little less conservative in my opinion. The Dres drop on third and long when we were backed up was a huge one. Dres was absolutely nails until that play. Tough not having our tight ends for half the third and all of the fourth. That really allowed BYUs linebackers to come at us. Of course, the Y not having Williams was tough for them as well.

    Anyway, I digress - yes, we're getting better. We are not getting better at stupid penalties though. When will Kyle fix the personal fouls? Rowe's taunting penalty probably cost us a touchdown tonight and made this a game. Completely unacceptable.

    the pass was out of bounds and not catchable, and was at the 10 yard line not in the end zone on the final play, so no harm no foul.

    I wonder if Rowe will be doing any running and puking next week in practice? I love the kid but I hope so.

    Trevor Reilly on the post-game show right now: "I'm 4 and 0. I get to say that the rest of my life." How great is that?

    The guy had 5 sacks, and 8 tackles for loss. What a stud.

    Good timing with the bye before UCLA.

    Speaking of UCLA, they are due for a letdown game, right?

    Travis Wilson with a 173.4 QB rating for the game, 172.6 for the season.

    I'd say the one area he needs to get better is on converting 3rd downs.

    One other thing that Kalani and Morgan Scalley might need to work on with the DBs: Intercepting that ball on 4th down made it into a BYU punt, in effect, and hurt our fields position while helping theirs. DBs should be taught never to do that. (Shouldn't they?)

    Agree 100%. Hopefully that is an error that will be corrected
