It is. But some years the disparity between the teams is so wide it doesn't matter.

It's OK for BYU fans to dance on Utes' grave, but the BYU players...

Utah will be tough off a bye. They will get some stuff figured out

BYU '80

12:52am

You know that BYU will also be coming off a bye…

Yukon

5:10am

Kalani hasn’t been good off a bye historically

Kolipoki

8:08am

Do you actually have data or are you thinking of just 1-2 bad games after byes?

MaximusMeridius

8:32am

2019 USF, 2018 Northern Illinois, 2017 USU

Kolipoki

8:45am

Those games were also just bad situations from the start…

arcawley

11:46am

Example of why correlation does not always equal causation

MaximusMeridius

4:39pm

They are also 3 of the worst losses in BYU history

Kolipoki

5:33pm

2 of those 4 “worst” losses had 2-3 QB’s playing due to injury…and one was a P5

arcawley

5:40pm

NIU had a top 30 defense and finished with 8 wins. Not one of the worst losses

He’s 3-4 after bye weeks. On the post game show last week they said that Kalani

ProvoSpain

8:55am

Wow only 7 bye weeks in 9 years??

MaximusMeridius

10:15am

The 3-4 is against FBS teams You asked for data & we provided data

Kolipoki

10:25am

We've had way more FBS games after byes than 7. Bad data

MaximusMeridius

2:01pm

I didn’t count 2020 because the schedule was fluid and they haven’t played yet

ProvoSpain

11:16am

We have had a bye week this yr

Cougarite

11:34am

He did against Baylor

Yep and Utah is typically better than byu off a bye

BYU '80

8:34am

Based on what

MaximusMeridius

He will certainly TRY to have them ready. KWhitt looks as lost as anyone on that sideline right now, imo.

Whit looks like he has dementia. He really doesn't look like he knows

DeepCCoug

2:57am

I had this very thought seeing the TV shots of him on sideline last night,

SageOwl

11:21am

I guess tcu and Arizona should be grateful that Whitt is holding onto

NYCougz

TRAP GameS — that's what they are.

The season’s record or recruiting rankings never seem to matter in the Holy War.

BringYourUltimate

12:56am

They haven't?? Before our last match there WAS that little 0-10 thing.

SinkingQuffa

5:34am

There was no 0-10 thing.

That over half our fans are gun-shy about RES in 3 weeks (rather than licking their chops) let's me know

SinkingQuffa

10:21am

Sorry, I wasn’t referring to any recent rivalry record, but the nature of most

BringYourUltimate

2:07pm

It is. But some years the disparity between the teams is so wide it doesn't matter.

SinkingQuffa

2:12pm

I dream of that being the case this year, but I just don’t believe it will be.

BringYourUltimate

3:28pm

Because you're as broken as a fan as the yewts are as a team. And that's okay. But do unbreak yourself.

SinkingQuffa

3:32pm

I’m never described as a pessimist, sometimes described as an optimist, but

BringYourUltimate

3:44pm

I think there are plenty of "usually optimists" in our fan base — stuck in this thorny trap.

SinkingQuffa

7:05pm

BYU was horrible like Utah was around this time of year and turned it around

puntersarepeople

3:48pm

If Utah weren't as individually talented as they are, I'd actually be more concerned about them.

SinkingQuffa

3:52pm

It’s becoming clear this group doesn’t have a strong culture/identity beyond

puntersarepeople

7:52pm

Like a lot of programs, they very much had a anger/bully component about them too. And that cultural identity

SinkingQuffa

7:56pm

The great mystery. Why BYU folds against Utah in football?

wilsdad

5:43am

Jaren Hall was the QB in that game not Zach Wilson.

Repete397

6:24am

BYU has never been their little brother. Yeah they had a nice little run because

porl thompson

6:48am

Agree except the word "still." Utah has always been BYU's little bro.

Brandoblueblood

8:25am

Yeah the big problem for Utah when they play us is they don’t

NonmormonYfan89

Just win
