I broke out the Ouiji board and started tracking planets in their orbits and have confirmed the following:

The curse of Max Hall was legitimate. Utah's dominance fueled a tangible hatred for a generation.

It wasn't until Tyler Huntley's 'They're so poo poo' comment on Sept. 4th, 2019 that the curse was broken and another Hall, Jaren Hall was able to right the ship and establish a win over Utah.

Here's the thing though. It wasn't just breaking the curse, it was establishing a seizmic shift in the cosmos that'll forever favor the Cougars.

Since then, what I've noticed is that EVERY single BYU fan and player is very cautious about what they say before this game. ("We aren't taking them for granted, I think we'll only win by 3 points, Weird things happen during this game," etc.) BYU isn't even risking uttering curse-inducing spells.

Even in press conferences Cam Rising is saying: "I hope we whip their *insert CURSE WORD*" to which Connor Pay replies: "Yeah, I HOPE HE SAYS THAT. She SHOULD say that."

What? BYU know's what they're doing. They're keeping the curses one sided. We're not retaliating. We're keeping it on that side and We can thank Tyler Huntley and Jaren Hall for realigning the stars and tipping the celestial scales. In this cosmic game of rivalry, the Cougars now stride with the universe subtly humming in their favor, the echoes of past curses now but faint whispers caught in the tail of a comet. The balance has shifted, and it was Tyler Huntley and Jaren Hall who sealed this destiny in stardust.
