We're going to DESTROY you on Saturday. I'm guessing 49 points will be the amount we lose by.

That would be great on BYU's end because it would probably tell us good things about BYU's depth. I don't know if BYU's depth is good enough to sustain a huge margin if a bunch of 2's and 3's start seeing the field too early though. It might be like the Oregon/Arkansas State game, where Oregon goes up huge early, but as soon as Oregon's bench started to enter the game, they got manhandled and the gap closed significantly.

I probably wouldn't spend too much time trying to read into anything that comes out of that game. Just like Utah's game last week against UNC, it's going to be very hard to take away any positives or negatives considering the strength of opponent. Just sit back and enjoy the beat down.

What, are both Kruger bros planning on throwing punches next week?
 
BYU has a decent schedule this season (so far). Oregon State (beat #13 Wisconsin 10-7 today), Boise, Utah State, Dame, we'll see on GT... too bad TCU wasn't on the schedule this year too.

When was the last time Utah state was mentioned as a reason that someone has a decent schedule?
 
Nice tune up today. Now it's time to take out the garbage this week. I hope Kruger doesn't tap out like he did against Utah St.

Can't wait!!!

With our spotty O-line play, maybe we should hope their whole blitzing defense "taps out". That's the one area that scares me really going into any game. There was all that hype in fall camp about them being trim downed(which does help when the offense goes hurry up of course) and they had a couple of intriguing scrimmages with the ground game doing well, but not too much carry over into the actual games yet. Utah should be able to get some decent pressure on Riley and make him force things sometimes based on what we've seen so far.
 
To me it's pretty obvious this game will come down to QB play. I think both teams will have some success running the ball and playing good defense. Can the QBs make a few plays and avoid TOs? Whichever one can do that will win the game.

Meh.

I guess.

I see their Oline play as pretty horrible too. It's going to come down to the QB. Whoever turns the ball over the most/in worst possible, is going to lose.

Their undisciplined pass rush will leave them open to QB keepers (Chucky's run which set up the game winning TD), quick slants, and screens. The school up north's linebackers suck.

This is why BYU needs to take charge from the get go, avoid getting behind, and avoid 3rd and long, to slow down that pass rush.

Yeah, I think we can eat their lunch going hurry up often. We'll see.

We're ranked now - #25:

Should we book our tickets right now for Miami?
 
This should be a fun week, and usually is.... but for some reason this year I just don't care very much.
It's not as fun giving Yewts crap. Maybe it's because their whole "classless" organization gave up on the rivalry?
I can't put my finger on it, but this week is more "meh" than the usual excitement and anticipation.

I would usually try to find some way to incorporate things like, livin right, classless, pumping gas, I hate everything about U, something about a "Kruger - punch me" sign being brought to the game, or bring a Utah State banner to the game.... something.... but I can't seem to get myself to care much.

Oh well.... each team to their corners, lets have a good clean fight.

BYU 28, Utah 17. It would have been closer but the refs call back a Yewt touchdown for offensive pass interference.

You seem down, Spazz. Is there anything I can do? Write you a poem, maybe?
