Honestly think we might win the natty this year.
Hear me out. No team looks insanely dominant this season. BYU is playing great on both sides of the ball. Our D is opportunistic and creating turnovers. We have playmakers and a gutsy QB playing great. Throw in all the national disrespect, and our guys are playing with passion. Our coaches are making adjustment and typically out coaching the other team. We even have an awesome kicker. We have all the pieces.
Now, if we go into Utah and smack them around, it will show me that we have the mental toughness to shock the world this season.
A dominant win in this game to the country won’t mean much, but to me it will signify that this team is mentally tough enough to go the distance. I know it sounds crazy, but if we smoke Utah I honestly think we might win the natty this year.
Having said all that, I think we’re really good. I don’t think we championship-level good. So I expect a close game tonight. But if we roll them, then I honestly think have the mental toughness to go undefeated and shock the world this season.
Today has showed me that there are no dominant teams this season. Texas scares me the most, but they could easily trip up.
