Which stage of grief is this? From Ute Hub:
“If you were a BYU fan, just think about this…your best team in 15 years barely beat what is arguably our worst team in 10-15 years and…
1) Our backup QB was making his first career start.
2) We switched OCs three weeks ago.
3) They scored a kickoff TD. Credit to them on a great play, but these are always pretty fluke.
4) Two gift-wrapped INTs that weren’t even good plays on the ball by the defense (both of which led to FGs). One was a throw on a trick play where a guy who hasn’t played all year just decided to lob it into quadruple coverage after thinking about it for 5 seconds (needed him to use his brain there). The other on a miscommunication between the QB and WR on the route (likely a function of a new QB and OC).
5) Don’t forget that Kuithe (who produced two of our TDs) left the game fairly early in the second half.
6) Two BYU fumbles that bounced right into the hands of BYU players. Either one of those bounces a little differently, game over.
7) One of the most controversial bail-out calls I can ever remember in this rivalry. We’re all obviously biased, but that was ridiculous. So weak. They almost never make those calls and they decided to make it in that situation?! Was there contact? Yes (and within the first five yards of the line of scrimmage, mind you). Contact like that happens repeatedly throughout every football game. Refs have been letting WRs and DBs go at it all year in the B12 (including this game). For the first time in as long as I can remember, Whitt criticized the officials, which just goes to show how bad of a call that was. That play cost us the game, but the D still should’ve been able to win it for us after that. Just felt like that call kind of sucked the energy out of the players and team after we all went on the emotional roller coaster of thinking we won (twice) and then suddenly having to quickly move on.”
