and it has already had its impact on recruiting and getting guys to stay for another year.

I don't know about P12 logos. Seems exaggerated, but the P12 invite has completely elevated the program. BYU fans did themselves a disservice IMO cougsplaining that they'd be the "wyoming" of the conference. It explains the sensitivity to roses.

Utah didn't get killed though. Lol. You don't rush for over 200 yards and 6 ypc if that's the case.

I don't think Utah should be embarrassed by that game. Especially without two all americans. It was neck and neck until Rising went down. No shame there. There's a reason Utah still finished top 10.

If you want to see killed, look up TCU vs. Georgia.

I noticed TCU followed up though with strong recruiting and transfer portal success. Even after losing 2 of their last 3 games.

Wondering if for smaller football brands, if it's supposed to embarrassing to play in these games, or since no one else at their level is doing it...they should be proud of their program.
