“Last week it took several 50-50 calls to go their way and a game-winning field goal as time expired to get a one-point victory over 4-4 Utah.“

We all know this observation only has merit if you didn’t see the game or know how Utah plays against its biggest rival. There were ‘ several 50-50 calls ‘ that also went against them. Utah didn’t play like their record, and the last minute kick was 50 miles away from anything resembling luck.

Take away the fake face mask call and the touchdown that followed, forget needing to go for two because it was close, and BYU wins by 7 at least. If anything, it was Utah who was lucky to be in it at the last.
