For the life of me, I can’t understand how the line is only -3

I’m tempted to go put $500 on BYU. If they cover, I’ll add a new Xbox to my basement remodel. If the Utes win, I’ll happily pay $500 to watch you guys lose. If BYU wins by 1, I’ll go sit in my car with the engine on (don’t worry, I have an open carport).

But seriously…-3? Do these people have zero knowledge of Utah this year? I think the sharks bump it to -5 before game time.

This will make all the difference.

Plantagenet

They'll mostly blow assignments and start brawling on the sideline.

Nov 8, 7:51am

So who was dismissed?

icecougar

Nov 8, 2:01am

Pittman and maybe another backup WR

Supposedly Taeshawn Lyons and some other dude

Hate is a strong and unifying motivator and Whitt instills his hatred for BYU

I wonder if him trying to pressure his team over BYU is what caused the

I seriously doubt Cam was practicing the past two years. Where did you hear this

Cougarite

Nov 8, 6:58am

Widely discussed on local radio last year. Cam even discussed it on shows.

That would be so awesome if this were true.

Whittingham is a Sith Lord when it comes to channeling hate.

LateToTheGame

Nov 8, 6:17am

So is Scalley, which is why he's the obvious replacement

vegas guey

Nov 8, 8:38am

It's also probably why Kalani and Jay Hill may never fit the bill for that

CameronG

Nov 8, 10:32am

It's institutional and cultural.

Plantagenet

Nov 8, 12:05pm

He even used the term "indoctrinated" when talking about introducing the rivalry to new players.

Look no further than when BYU played Mizzou in KC.

Nov 8, 4:31am

Ooff. I had suppressed that memory.

oxcoug

Nov 8, 4:45am

Ha ha - many apologies.

Nov 8, 4:48am

Exactly what I was thinking

Heath Squashwell

Nov 8, 5:09am

Those are the types to take cheap shots at the opposing QB. I hope our guys protect Jake well.

What happened here?

kansascougar

Nov 8, 6:37am

Missouri program was in total disarray heading in. If I remember correctly

oxcoug

Nov 8, 7:39am

don't forget the blatant PI call on our WR that wasn't called either.

PI call on our WR would have just made it worse

Worse, facemask. Real problem though was Houk going down. He was a de facto

They didn't even hold a practice Monday or Tuesday of that week, several players were threatening to leave...

Only 20% of the players on their team are from Utah. The old high school rivalry

They all still live in SLC now. It doesn't take much to manipulate an intense

Only 9 Ute players have played against BYU

NYC and Japan

Nov 8, 6:21am

How many times has their defense won games for them? Not the last four at least.

Knight-who-says-ni

Nov 8, 8:08am

UCF was supposedly having locker room issues. They seem okay.

ldssdl

Nov 8, 5:42am

If all of that is true, then I think

Nov 8, 6:12am

They’re a dangerous team for nearly anyone at home

cajuncoug

Nov 8, 6:18am

So dangerous that they scored 17 points COMBINED in last 2 home games

NYC and Japan

Nov 8, 6:32am

Yes, those things. Now do their defense. And point differentials at home.

cajuncoug

Nov 8, 6:45am

Last 2 home games lost by 13 and 6 to BAAADDD teams, combined 4-8 in conference

We should prepare for a Utah team that is 8-0

runningryan

Nov 8, 6:56am

That is exactly the attitude we need going in.

EM_Puma

Nov 8, 6:57am

BYU should prepare for and exploit the U team they will play. Why prepare for

NYC and Japan

Nov 8, 7:06am

Kalaninsaidnit best. It’s more about us and how we play than it is them. If we

Cougarite

Nov 8, 7:10am

My point was we should expect Utah to be prepared, focused, and determined as if it were 8-0 and not 4-4

runningryan

stack the box, stop the run; put their QB in 3rd and long

Nov 8, 9:37am

Agreed - they’ll want to try and salvage their season with a win

For the life of me, I can’t understand how the line is only -3

Medute

Nov 8, 7:14am

Agree. But BYU has covered basically every week this year. Vegas hasn’t been kind to BYU all year

SaturdaySpecialDay

Nov 8, 7:33am

I don’t know enough about your team to comment. I just know Utah is a mess

Medute

Nov 8, 7:53am

Our team is ready to play regardless.

Plantagenet

Nov 8, 12:10pm

Your defense is legit, and BYU has played the worst defensive Big12 teams so far

ldssdl

Nov 8, 8:01am

Utah has a good defense. But it’s so hard when your offense can’t score

Medute

Nov 8, 8:10am

I'll be glad to seal up your carport for you while you sit in the car--if BYU wins by 1 🙂

Knight-who-says-ni

Nov 8, 8:15am

I've done this multiple times this season, betting on BYU opponents.

This could be worse case scenario for BYU.

There was no team brawl. Complete exaggeration, if not outright fabrication
