At least they only have one game left this year they won’t be the underdog.

As Coach Mora once famously said, “don’t blame that game on the defense.”

Yup. And 7 of the 17 came on a 5 yard field.

I think a lot of local BYU fans bought a lot of tickets a long time ago.

That is because they aren’t switching fast enough
