In a year where too many are making excuses to not rise to the occasion, BYU football made the best of it. Didn't hide behind supposed science and got it done, and led the way in some regards. The 2020 team deserves huge respect for this.

I've been covering BYU recruiting for a long time, and BYU fans have always wanted to believe their team can consistently recruit against the big boys. While there's certain exceptions, the answer has largely been 'no.' There's credible indication that may be changing, though

Kevin Young is doing things. This one feels at least as big as Ben Bywater returning to the football team. Saunders was already a fan favorite. This move should make him insanely popular.

Just a reminder that after a shaky start the defense held SDSU scoreless for the final 3 quarters. Great job at adjustment and Tuiaki deserves a lot more credit than he's probably getting.

My favorite stat of the night=Fouss with 5 assists. Do not underrate this stat. I feel him passing out of the double-team down low changed the game and helped fuel the comeback effort. MVP was Dallin Hall, but what Fouss did out there was huge

Been covering BYU recruiting for a while now, and honestly can't think of many in-state recruiting wins more significant than re-landing Fano, for several reasons. Speaks well to the work put in by all involved. Fano is a legit 4-star prospect.

BYU has proven it's very serious about taking basketball to the next tier by hiring Kevin Young. It's an un-BYU-like move, if that makes sense. But Big12 affiliation necessarily changes things, and it's looking like BYU is serious about said affiliation

I thought Puka working his way into the rotation was an easy prediction, and thought he'd begin to emerge as a top option for the Rams. But 10 catches on 15 targets for 119 yards in his NFL debut? Yes, I know Cooper Kupp is hurt, but are you serious?
With 120 receiving yards in today’s game, Puka Nacua recorded the most receiving yards in a rookie debut in Rams history. He is the 2nd player drafted in the 5th round or later with 100+ receiving yards in his NFL debut.
