BYU Football 2012

Since Bronco Mendenhall has taken over the defensive coordinating duties again (22 games dating back to 2010), BYU has allowed an average of 93.5 rushing yards per game. That mark is bested by only one other team, Alabama.
 
With a senior BYU quarterback, the Cougars have won 10 of the last 11 games against Utah. A senior under center has helped BYU put up an average score of 38-19 against the Utes. The Cougars have won the last three over Utah when having a senior signal caller.

lol

Well...duh. It helps when your senior quarterback is the same age as a 3rd year quarterback in the NFL.

Let me add one more stat to that list that was conveniently left off...

TOTAL RIVALRY VICTORIES: UTAH 55 - BYU 34
 
This is half an effort. I spent a little time on it.

Once I was a Sugar Bowl champ, now I eat humble pie
And.. the famous Fiesta Bowl, now I eat humble pie
I'm telling you I was a BCS Buster, now I eat humble pie
And now I work at the Pie.

1 2 3 4!

BCS buster, shoulder chip looked good on me
Buried in the Mtn channel, having fun in Laramie
Or playing the best in the west there in Provo
Playing the underdog weekly, getting it all on video

Once I was a Sugar Bowl champ, now I eat humble pie
And… the famous Fiesta Bowl, now I eat humble pie
I'm telling you I was a BCS Buster, now I eat humble pie
And now I vacuum the turf at Memorial Coliseum
Once he was a Sugar Bowl champ…

I got my groove on, I’m driving the bandwagon, my people say:
"Champ, how are you such a genius?
There's an almost full stadium
and sugar swag to take!"

It's laissez-faire, I don't even give a care
Let's make Friday part of the weekend
And give every new bandwagoner a red foam finger

Once I was a Sugar Bowl champ, now I eat humble pie
Hey Penn! Hey Ohio St! Got problems?
You phone me, now I eat humble pie
I'm telling you I was a BCS Buster, now I eat humble pie
Now the Blaze call me to mow their turf
Once he was a Bowl Champ

Now some of you might be wondering how I came to be working at the Pie
after being in the Sugar Bowl. Should I tell them, guys?
Tell us, Champ!

You see late one night when the team was asleep
Chris hill, what a creep, met with the Pac 12 and cancelled on BYU
And we now are middle packers, with no rival
Now no good QB wants to play for us
And karma keeps breaking our legs

(gasp)

Champ to chump, back to brother junior
New dreams of co-Pac 12 3rd place line the walls
Under my own volition, I took a change of position
So next time you drool in the pizza line
Remember, slower pizza's more luscious
The former champ never rushes!!!

Once I was a Sugar Bowl champ, now I eat humble pie
And… the famous Fiesta Bowl, now I eat humble pie
I'm telling you I was a BCS Buster, now I eat humble pie
And now I run our pansy offense
Once he was a Sugar Bowl champ…

Once he was a Bowl champ!
 
My thoughts on this years rivalry game...

I'm still way mad about the UT st game, but there is one positive to take away from it.

byu is notorious for buying into there own hype every year, (btw if you refute this, sorry your a huge homer.) Think "quest for perfection." Every year some byu dork (often a coach) tells the media that this is the best byu team evar and if they play their game aint nobody in the world gon' stop em!!!

This year was supposed to be different. There would be no way the cougs could come in over confident against The Utes after 54-10 right?? Then Utah loses to UT State and the zoobs just cant help themselves...

"We deserve this. Fetch, we have too much darn tradition honor and power."

It's amazing. byu should head into the rivalry game with a ginormous chip on their shoulder. They are the little guy who cant get into a conference, facing a team from a power conference. They are a team full of scrappy white guys facing elite athletes. They've lost 7 of the last 10 rivalry games. They got bitch slapped 54-10 in their own stadium just last year. Yet, they will walk into RES thinking they "deserve" to win and that they are the superior team and program coming to take what is rightfully theirs.

Its amazing really, but its just who byu is. They cant freaking help themselves.

So while it sucks way bad that we poo'd our pants against Ut St, its amazing beyond belief that on the heels of Pac 12 > Indy, just a few months after Utah basically ended the rivalry, and a year after handing byu the most embarrassing loss in school history, Utah will somehow come into the rivalry game as the pissed off team with something to prove. Hell yes.

(I'll now sit back for a few minutes and wait to be proven right.)

Colton, I wanted max coverage for my rivalry thesis. I am a hunt and peck typer and it took me forever so I'm not letting this thing to to waste. Do you for reals disagree? Is byu not coming into this game as the more confident team? Astounding, if you think about it.
 
What I love about this rivalry is it doesn't matter how the teams are doing, it is a crazy game. How bout when Urban Meyers' team won 3-0 or something like that?

Everything points to a BYU easy win and maybe that happens but the past has shown almost anything can happen here. It's the most unpredictable game of all time.

Mods, this is a duplicate post, and a duplicate account. Will you please delete both. TIA

What loss was more embarrassing than 54-10 to your bitter rival at home?

Honest question, as you'd know better than I.

That game wasn't as embarrassing as the final score would indicate because alot of cougar fans feel like we beat ourselves in that game with turnovers.
Some of the recent tcu losses in years when byu fans thought we had a chance to get to a bcs game and tcu just destroyed the cougs were more embarrassing IMO

the ol' beat yourselves excuse. byu is the only team in the history of college football to beat byu. Last year was impressive, you guys blew yourselves right out of the water. byu never stood a chance once byu took the field.

ZOOB
 
Saturday night / Sunday morning are going to be the greatest couple of hours in JF history. The silence from the UGLI's and Salty's of the world will be deafening. The blaming of the refs will be amazing. The gnashing of teeth will be every dentist's worst nightmare.

I can't wait.

I definitely know better than you. UTEP for starters. If I remember right BYU was coming off the national title and something like a 19-game winning streak.
 
Don't get me wrong, 54-10 definitely sucks and without doing much research I'd guess it was at least top 10.
