Since nobody bothered to put together a game thread, I thought I would share my thoughts on this game. I realize the ramblings of a Utah fan are probably unimportant to the BYU faithful, but...oh well.
For the most part, I thought BYU looked pretty good. I was impressed by two players in particular - Nelson and DiLuigi.
I actually found myself rooting for the cougs (shudder) when Nelson was in the game. I rooted against them when Heaps was in. For some reason, I harbor an innate desire for him to fail. I'm not sure why.
If I were Bronco, I would hand Nelson the keys to the car and Heaps the keys to the washroom. Yeah, I know, he's young, inexperienced... fine. Nelson is clearly more of a leader. They need him much more than they need Heaps.
Washington put up a good fight, and I think Locker is the real deal - not Heisman material, but a quality college QB. But they couldn't close when it mattered. I thought we were going to see another drive like the end of the first half, but no dice.
It was an entertaining game. BYU could use a little work in the secondary, but what else is new. They should have another really good season.
