POLL: Serious question - does it feel like an overwhelming number of bounces (literal bounces, plays, calls, general luck) are going for BYU this year compared to its relative history?

foofcoug

3:00pm

The bounce on the punt return for a TD, yes.

Blue Print

3:03pm

The punt return was undoubtedly one of the luckiest bounces I've seen in

rcbyufan

3:04pm

turns out forcing other teams into those mistakes leads to “lucky” bounces

Beggar

3:04pm

A number of bounces are going our way, but I wouldn't say an overwhelming number

MarylandFan

3:04pm

I literally can't think of a luckier bounce I've ever seen. And I think it is

rcbyufan

3:06pm

Not really when you watch the literal fairy dust storm Utah

Yea. Don't bring attention to it!

Kalani seems to be wearing a suit a lot more this year.

Glasker is a revelation. He single-handedly kept Kalani from running out the

Shinshin

I thought the same thing.

Florwood

2:58pm

Kalani would have ran out the clock

TLCougar

3:00pm

I'm glad he did. Arizona refused to admit the game was over, calling timeouts, etc. That pick 6 finally got them to stop

byuluvr

3:01pm

I knew Kalani wouldn't embarrass his good friend (or anyone else)

kccougar

3:01pm

It was a good lesson for Arizona and future opponents. Know when you're beat and don't keep throwing

CLCougar

3:05pm

I get we want to win without humiliating the opponent by scoring

bald man

3:06pm

First thing I thought the second he caught the ball! 😂

If I’m a coach who’s losing a game, I’m embarrassed if the opposing team dials it back or runs out the clock. The

Always amazing when you can get 64k in a 63k stadium

WJCougar

I always wonder if it means more people with sideline passes. More in the loge

rcbyufan

If you win, they will come

Born2Fish

Perhaps a stadium expansion could be in play? Probably not.

The nice thing about P4 inclusion is that BYU can’t be kept out of the playoffs

Boo! Tyler takes you the whole way but Robinson gets the credit.

ESPN's Bonagura does not predict Utah will be in a bowl game. See:

statguru

2:56pm

That's quite the change from preseason guesses

SUAVO

He also predicts Boise State as the #4 seed, meaning no Big 12 teams would get

Nikomedes

2:58pm

That just means Boise will finish undefeated and a big12 team won't right?

shakavaka

3:03pm

Boise lost to Oregon, quality loss though

Hsaru

Boise State already has a loss. Which effectively means he thinks the Big 12

Could you imagine either @Alabama or OhioSt in Provo? 🔥

I think it's great that Top 15 teams are allowed 1 loss to unranked teams.

Only if ND or in SEC

In today's game, that's true. I'll change my answer.

Man, that’s hard; could I use some of the money to make Whitt do this ?

RWaters

What do I need another 3 billion for?

Nov 9 at Utah, Nov 16 vs Kansas, Nov 30 vs Houston. Please no night games in Nov

Hinta

November 16 has a basketball and football game.

Utah and Kansas are almost assuredly night games.

Rewatching game. Two lucky breaks on the TD to Chase.

The lucky is that it was stipped and STILL made it to him.

Hardest to least for me: Utah, ASU, UCF, OSU, Kansas, Houston
