I agree that BYU should have won that game. However, there a ton of things going

against BYU that week. That game was set up by ESPN on a short week for BYU. They had figure out a really funky offense, fly across country, little to no scout or prep time to face a ranked opponent on the road.

Still should have won, but losing is understandable.

If that’s your most disappointing moment as a fan, you’re young

Penn State in '89 and Oregon in '90 definitely felt worse.

2014 USU felt the worst to me. Healthy Taysom that year and we were cruising and then he snapped his leg and we lost to

That was the angriest I’ve ever been after a football game.

It hurt, but not as crushing as '90 Oregon.

I thought the A&M loss was worse. Total humiliation.

Not really. BYU was ranked #4 and flying high until Oregon

Taking that CCU game under those conditions is the single biggest mistake in Tom Holmoe's career

Definitely a gamble. I see why he did it, but yeah.

Nah, it gave the team a chance to prove themselves on a big stage

They had nearly no prep for that game. Disappointing, but understandable.

They had nearly no prep time either. We just got horribly outcoached.

They got at least another two days of prep. BYU doesn't practice Sunday and

CCU didn't have to travel either. They had the edge.

Lost by a yard on a couple of days notice. Only team that had to travel. Refs let multiple PFs go uncalled. Happens.
