a terrible facemask call in the first half? Yes.
Would Utah have had a TD that drive if it wasn't for the FG? No.
Did any of this decide the game? ABSOLUTELY NOT. BYU's defense holding Utah scoreless in the second half decided the game.
BYU deserves to celebrate this win. They earned it, it wasn't cheated for them, it wasn't given to them.
For Harlan to take all the credit away from the boys on the field is just a nasty move, a loser move. I'm sure he just got caught up in the heat of the moment, but come on.
BYU should be celebrating:
- Holding Utah to 0 points after excellent halftime adjustments.
- Scoring 22 points on a great defense.
- The game-winning drive (they still drove the length of the field after the holding call with no timeouts in like 80 seconds).
- A game-winning field goal.
- Being 9-0.
But all the talk is about Harlan throwing a hissy fit.
Go Cougs. You EARNED this victory. You deserve it. 9-0 feels great. Great win, and know you earned it.
