POLL: Serious question - does it feel like an overwhelming number of bounces (literal bounces, plays, calls, general luck) are going for BYU this year compared to its relative history?

The bounce on the punt return for a TD, yes.

The punt return was undoubtedly one of the luckiest bounces I've seen in

turns out forcing other teams into those mistakes leads to “lucky” bounces

A number of bounces are going our way, but I wouldn't say an overwhelming number

I literally can't think of a luckier bounce I've ever seen. And I think it is

The actual number was 7 of their own men tripped themselves or others.

Not really when you watch the literal fairy dust storm Utah

I’ve been thinking for a few weeks it feels like Utahs 2008 season. They were

No, not overwhelming. a few lucky breaks, but the defense creates its luck.

Do you have a list of these plays? I don’t think there have been that many.

I thought the replay of the spot yesterday was a break we rarely get

But that was the right call. Original spot was horrible.

How many times has that still not worked out in BYU's favor?

foofcoug

Oct 13, 3:20pm

Yes it was the right call but still one we haven’t always got in the past

Is it lucky that we have been starting 4th 5th and 6th string RB due to injury?

I am surprised they overturned that 4th down run yesterday.

You create your own luck.

BYU is about 20 years overdue for the ball bouncing their way.

Good defense creates opportunities. Other teams have luck. We have D.

Oct 13, 4:29pm

Yes - this is what it was like to be Utah in like every rivalry game the last
