This QB matchup looks like a pirate captain who just pillaged a fleet of merchant ships and the British admiral tasked with sailing the 7 seas to send him to Davey Jones.
Fun fact: The combined age of the starting QBs in Saturday's Utah-Oklahoma State game is 49. By comparison, the combined age of the starting QBs in Sunday's Colts-Bears game is 44.

BYU finished higher in the CFP as a 10-2 independent than as a 10-2 P4 conference member. Wild.

It’s time to take the narrative back. A 10-2 BYU deserves to make the playoff over any 3 loss SEC team with their resume. There. I said it. On3 is a bunch of paid shills. Good grief. Have some pride JD.
Here’s what I did not say:.“I want to see the SEC and Big Ten start their own playoff.”. What I am saying: .If I’m acting in my best interest as the SEC and I see a 2-loss Big 12 and a G5 team getting in over a better 3-loss team. I’m taking action as a conference holding cards.

BYU was a playoff team robbed by bias. 11 wins in year two in a P5 league with soon to be 4 wins over 9 win teams. Finished it off shoving the 2 best players in the country in a locker. Top 5 season in BYU history. Oh and everyone is coming back in 2025.

If you’re a republican like me, and your take away from Oaks was that he condemned rioting, then you failed to ask “Lord, is it I?” Conference is a time to ask how we can improve, not how everyone else can.

The craziest part of this is that some are so desperate for proof that BYU is a racist hellscape that they think it’s more likely that 5,000 fans, coaches, and players were involved in a massive cover up rather than one player mishearing something in a crowd of screaming people.

“He had no feel for the guys closing in around him.”.
There have been a couple times today where Zach Wilson’s pocket presence just hasn’t that great. He’s vacated good ones. He’s held ball too long in bad ones. Right there an example of the latter. He had no feel for the guys closing in around him.

1984 holiday bowl was obviously a bigger win in context, but in terms of just itself that’s the best bowl win in BYU history right? Beat a ranked team and Heisman winner to seal an 11 win season? Not sure I can think of a better one.

BYU returns well over half of snap getters on both sides of the ball. The major positions of need remained in the trenches by needing to replace Keim, Pay, and the entire defensive line. BYU responded by adding:. - 2 underclassmen defensive ends with a combined 68 offers out of.

A summary of the last weeks events: . 1. Utah loses their star DT to the portal . 2. Utah writers immediately start pushing that he’s chasing a bag from USC and BYU has no shot. 3. BYU people are confident he’s coming to BYU . 4. USC and UM rumors fizzle out. Rumors circulate.

There’s a lot of things I want to say, but this is all I will:. BYU deserved so much better than this. It sucks but it is what it is. If you offered me 10 wins, including a dominant win over Utah, I would have taken that no matter the bowl destination.

I love BYU. I love the honor code. Perhaps no one more than me. But the Honor Code office and the way it is carried about should be done away with altogether. Honor code issues should be handled by a bishop or ecclesiastical leaders, and that is all.

The church could literally light my tithing on fire and I would still pay it. That’s kind of the point.
Message to Mormons regarding tithing.The church doesn’t need your tithing. They earn 3 times as much on investments & businesses. Your tithing goes into the Peak Investment Account and not a penny is used for charity. Your family needs that money, not god or the church.

One year ago this second, BYU had just lost the Hawaii bowl and left us all wondering if BYU had a future. Today, BYU is 11-1, ranked 13th, and had a quarterback who is considered the 8th best player in all of football. Merry Christmas Cougar fans.

Seen a lot of Utah fans say after 4 losses “idk how BYU fans did it all those years.” My genuine answer to that is that I love my university more than its football team. I love what it aspires to be and what it represents to me. I love the memories of pretending I was Todd.

Unpopular take: I think we are making this Oregon student section chant way bigger than it needs to be. It was wrong, Oregon apologized. That should be the end. I didn’t see hate in their chant. I saw ignorance. I saw 5 or 6 frat boys trying to get a rise out of people.
