  1. Most of the noted criticism of BYU in this thread is fair. We have lots of issues & weaknesses. Despite those -- and being #124 in total offense (301.9 yards per game) and #74 in scoring offense (27.6 points per game) -- we have a turnover margin of plus-9, #3 in the country, and a good scoring efficiency in the red zone (#23 in red-zone offense). BYU is #14 in fewest penalty yards, #24 in fewest turnovers lost and #22 in net punting. Those other little things have made a big difference for us. We need to continue playing clean vs Texas. We do have a new DC who plays a far more aggressive defense than we have had in years. I'm sure he will go hard after your new QB. Our corners are pretty good, but our safety position is beat up and we are way down the depth chart here. If Maalik can handle the pressure and make us pay when we blitz, y'all will probably win. If not, and we force some turnovers, then maybe BYU pulls off the upset. I've said elsewhere that I have a hard time predicting this game. I could see you destroying us but I can also see us playing well enough to win. I'm sure Sark will not overlook us. And one more thing, this team is not just a bunch of old white guys, although we have a few.
  2. This is a game you should win. I won't be surprised if you demolish us and I would only be a little bit surprised if we beat you. We are probably one of the worst 5-2 teams out there, our run game is atrocious, and our safety position is a MASH unit, but we sometimes play up to the competition and are capable of making things interesting. Slovis can be accurate if we can protect him/give him a little time, but we aren't able to always do that. Our receivers are a talented group, but they can struggle to get open on talented backfields. Who knows which BYU will show up. Our coaching staff knows we will be overmatched, so they will probably take more risks and roll the dice more than they otherwise would.
  3. You guys have it made in the shade. Backup QBs are our kryptonite.
  4. Looks like BYU will be the conference flagship when UT & OU gone. 😉
  5. This BYU team has issues for sure (horrid run game for one, despite a promising freshman RB that took over the starting role in game 2), but we will be a tough out. We are overperforming vs expectations coming into this season. This does seem to be a pretty good Texas team, so I anticipate a loss here. Kinda wish you left the Big 12 before we joined so we could hold scoreboard over your heads, but you will probably avenge your recent losses to BYU. I hope you do overlook us. Don't think Sark will though.
  6. BYU v Kansas 1M was lined up against the Colorado v UO deathstar, Alabama vs top 25 Ole Miss, and top 25 matchup UCLA v Utah. Not a bad turn out under those conditions.
  7. For all y'all pissing on the Big 12, just a reminder that Texas hasn't won the Big 12 since 2009. I think the saying is "all hat, no cattle"?
  8. Old Houston mascot looks like a demogorgon.
  9. He's also talking about Utah moving to greener pastures. Why else would the rivalry not be "permanent"? As long as Utah is in the Big 12 it would be. Whitt is a graduate from the Urban Meyer School of Civility.
  10. @'stache this one is for you bud:
  11. The Texas Tricksters could also work.
  12. I'm sorry to hear your facebook group is having a hard time. Best of luck.
  13. Nobody cares how much you hate BYU.
  14. Thank you for clarifying the cougar assignments
  15. For BYU, obviously Utah, and then would add TCU (got beef from MWC days) and Baylor (religion component would make it spicier).
  16. Utah doing everything it can to avoid joining the B12, but the B12 is going to vote them in anyway is distateful. I get teams wanting B10 or SEC over anything else, but Utah seems to almost be going in kicking and screaming. Have some self respect B12.
  17. The thing about this is that almost all of the comments comparing utah to aggy are from non-BYU fans in here. I may like the posts, but I haven't compared them once. Dreamer maybe once. I think it's funny that a bunch of fans of other schools are coming to the conclusion on their own without me/BYU fans in here (2 of us as far as I can tell) uttering a word, that lots of Utah fans are highly delusional and arrogant.
