Had them covering the spread in game 1. Had them winning each game and covering each spread in every game up until K-state. I had them losing that one but covering the spread. (even I didn't think they would be THIS good). Had them winning and covering against AZ.
I thought they would win easy last night and cover the spread again. BYU has the better defense, better offense, better special teams, better coaches, are healthier, are at home, its a night game, etc.
All through the game I had supreme confidence BYU would win. Right up until that 3rd and 13 when they completed the little wide receiver screen pass to #80 and got the first down.
At that point I thought we were likely to lose. But still a decent chance to win because how great the defense has been. Thought OSU would get a TD and win the game but still had some hope to get a stop and force a field goal and win in OT. After they scored the touchdown I gave us like 3% chance to win. The passing game had struggled all night. Very little time on the clock and a long way to go and had to have a TD (If we only needed a field goal then I still would have given us like a 50% chance).
Then the final drive got going. Little dump off pass for like 6 yards. Pretty worthless. Incomplete on the dropped pass to lassiter (tough catch to make with good defense though so not a horrible drop but still discouraging for this game winning drive attempt). The 2 yard pass to Hill when he couldn't get out of bounds. (about the worst possible scenario)
At this point I completely gave up on any chance. Im at a zero percent chance at this point. I had to get up at 5am for a 12 hour shift on saturday morning (today). I was pretty mad at this point but figured I was already up this late and the game isn't going to overtime and there is almost no time left so I might as well watch to the end.
Just mind blowing that we won that game. I went crazy. Then couldn't sleep due to the adrenaline and excitement running through my veins. Im blown away by the outcome of the game.
And as a cherry on top, I think we stayed pretty healthy and now have an extra day to get ready for the next game.
