Our less impressive wins are actually the most impressive
It is counter-intuitive, but I think the Baylor and Ok State games were the most telling of what type of team this is, and/or could be. And by resume they were probably the two worst Division 1 teams we have played (besides Wyoming).

K-state game was wild and I think there is a rational argument that if you line up BYU and K-State on a neutral field 10 times, BYU doesn't win half those games. Not saying BYU didn't dominate or deserve to win, but I think K-State ran into an emotional buzzsaw and melted down. Not sure they would do that again.

SMU wasn't playing at a high level yet, still had QB controversy going on. That win is more impressive now obviously.

I felt going into the Baylor game that if we could find a way to win, that would say a heck of a lot. No fans there, weak opposing environment, coming off a big emotional win. Baylor has talent. Day game. Sure enough, wasn't perfect, but a BYU win.

Ok State on paper is bad. Defense battled and played poorly overall but kept playing and played much better and much more physical in the second half. Offense played lights out minus turnovers. Team found a way to get it done, which is all that matters.

UCF is TOUGH to deal with in the run game. For BYU to win, the defense will need to go to work and come out on Saturday and plug the run for the majority of the game. If we win on Saturday, it is going to be hard to manage my fan expectations and time to start looking at tickets for Arlington.

What a wild season. This is awesome.
