Early this morning between 3:20 and 5:45 I couldn’t fall back to sleep. I thought about the game, the season, the team and all the joy the last 3 months have brought. The sting of the loss came in contrast the the crazy joy watching this team has brought.
Two plays stood out in my mind. The first was the Jake Retzlaff fumble against the Utes that magically landed right in his arms as a tackler took him to the ground. The second was the punt off of Evan Johnson’s helmet and Robinson being alone to recover the live ball. It seemed like for sure he would grab it and all would be well until it squirted away.
Football is a crazy game. A few weeks ago I was ecstatic when Parker Kingston returned a punt from the same five yard line where Retzlaff wishes he could have not thrown the fade.
I love our team. I love BYU. I will keep pulling for our team til the end of my days.
