The last time Zach Wilson played at home, he was booed heavily by his own fans and benched on national TV.
Tonight, he had to step in unexpectedly for a future hall of famer in front of those same fans who had scorned him.. and kept the Jets alive for a win on national TV.

Stanford just had a skit during halftime called “gay chicken” involving two women getting married “for time and all eternity” and then being told to “be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth.”
Allrighty then.
I’m guessing it’s no coincidence they did this against BYU..

We aren’t talking enough about Kyle Van Noy.
The dude spent the first month of the year unsigned on his couch and now has a career-high eight sacks for a legit Super Bowl favorite Ravens squad.
One of the best BYU stories of the year IMO. Glad he’s still balling out in year 10.

A year ago today I was diagnosed with cancer.
It was terrifying. I feared for my life.
Chemo was torture. The months of recovery afterward were overwhelming.
But the storm is over. I survived!
God’s plan is perfect and His miracles are real. So grateful 🙏🏻

I caught up with the BYU student who won $10,000 from hitting a half court shot last night.
On how he’ll spend his new fortune:
“Rent, tuition, definitely tithing, and probably a bit of Taco Bell.”

2022 vs Notre Dame
2022 vs Arkansas
