Boise deserves credit for not blowing their opportunity like BYU did.

Amen. Preach. This byu team really blew it.

If by blowing it you mean they over exceeded all pre season expectations, then

How about they blew one game...at home that they should've won

You do realize that all expectations should be updated based on new data. Comparing the season to preseason expectations

People saying the team didn’t blow it are hilarious 😂😂

You’re right, it wasn’t a pretty good season, it was a great season. 10 wins in

I didn’t say it was bad or pretty good or anything I said they blew it

Reread your post. You said miss me with the but it was a pretty good season

Fair points. BYU tailed off late in the season but had control of its destiny &

Boise also didn’t beat four eight win teams and the accs best team

BYU '80

12/6/24 10:42pm

That same acc team who only beat nevada by 5.

And was undefeated in conference. That was their first game

BYU '80

12/6/24 10:47pm

Not playing Clemson and Miami certainly helps you do that.

citron

12/6/24 10:50pm

So which BSU win was better than the BYU one you want to knock down?

Ozymandias

12/6/24 10:52pm

only playing 1 good team certainly helps boise more than SMUs schedule though

FieroCoug

12/6/24 10:52pm

And helps Miami and Clemson even more. SMU is good

Since you are big in the transitive property, didn’t smu beat teams that beat

BYU '80

12/6/24 11:20pm

Boise only beat them by 7

The whole story of BYU is blown opportunities. So many seasons that BYU should’ve been undefeated and didn’t show up.

It’s almost like it’s hard to go undefeated…who knew?

Utah has had 7x the P5 opportunities we've had and has lost fewer than 4 games once (3 - 2019).

mulletino

Utah has won 7 games or fewer in those 14 seasons 5 times (36% of the time).

mulletino

12/6/24 11:15pm

If BYU wins the Pop Tart or Alamo Bowl, not only will it finish with a better record than Utah has ever attained as a P5

mulletino

12/6/24 11:17pm

This is a beautiful thought

CycloneCoug

12/6/24 11:44pm

BYU in 2024 has tied Utah for the most P5 wins in a season (8). If BYU wins its bowl game

Why be a fan then? If BYU "Blows It" so much why do you root for them?!

I don’t think we played our worst football against Kansas. The D played well

The Utah game took it out of the team. They gave it everything they had to win

Utah and BYU both often are flat after the rivalry game. This is why Utah
