I have believed in this team being good since before the season started.
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.
