Well, well, well. How the turn tables!

My 'not being able to wait' for the Fall, has started early this year

Pangare

I don't remember seeing Ropati in the Bowl Game. Did he play?

IronPotato

12:46pm

No

Blueto

12:46pm

Injured. Ruled out. Wasn't on the depth chart for the bowl game.

Adrielle

12:47pm

Still injured.

HuskerFan2

12:47pm

Congratulation to Kalani and the BYU Coaching Staff...the turn-around from last year has been very impressive.

Cthack1 All-American

12:45pm

It's a great coaching unit that works TOGETHER and deserves tons of credit.

Utah’s program died the day the Big 12 invited BYU. They just didn’t know it yet.

Yep: Kyle has a losing record against BYU when on a level playing field. Things

Abe Froman

One can only hope. If it resurrects

Archaea

12:43pm

but they found out!

Cougarclaw

12:43pm

I think they knew it. It’s why they always tried to keep us out.

titlecoug

12:44pm

So with Bohannon Gone who becomes QB2 and QB3 for 2025?

DJROSS Food Fanatic

12:42pm

Cam Rising.

Cougarclaw

12:42pm

Hillstead and Bourget

Jeffacka

12:44pm

Yep. Probably in that order.

runnincoug

12:45pm

He'll never say but I wonder how much Utahs reaction to BYU winning influenced Tanuvasa to transfer.

byuluvr On My Way

12:40pm

If he signed today, it was likely a done deal before we left to the bowl game?

pegushin

12:41pm

We were really hopeful when Gentry, Akana, and Tanuvasa all hit the portal

thewaterboy

12:40pm

We needed to create some recruiting momentum after a great season.

NYCougz

12:41pm

Oh great now I have ✨ expectations ✨

DanSmith

12:44pm

The Ute fans are now getting Tanuvasas family involved…

4mack

12:37pm

Maybe he wanted to play for a kind, caring man

Huge Manatee

"Sent"

Mister P

The "c" is silent...

Ray Shoesmith

12:41pm

So is spell check.

Mister P

Doller

Moab Rising

12:41pm

I would expect nothing less. Ute fans just being themselves is wonderful for BYU.

Unibro

12:39pm

This is going to get ugly for utah fans

MajorZeus

12:39pm

What currency has sents? Also, did he just acknowledge that BYU is indeed their rival?

Malcolm Reynolds

12:40pm

Maybe he meant scents?

acougfan

12:41pm

Well it is Utah county so many he did mean scents.

Malcolm Reynolds

pegushin

12:40pm

This will work out well for them.

Abe Froman

Won't take a sent from our boosters?

Maybe Kalani is the right guy for this new age of NIL/portal transfers. He isn't

mudpupper

12:36pm

Kalani's approach reminds me of the "Good to Great" business mentality...creating the flywheel effect.

Cthack1

Have felt the same. So long as KS has a hard nosed DC or OC & tough assistants

Forzaitalia

I’ve been saying this. The old guard coaches are going to struggle. Those who rule with an iron fist are in trouble.

Kyle will have to keep coming back, hoping for a better year to go out on.

[Cougs Daily]

12:30pm

I love how he just runs around #31 who is half as fast and jogs behind him...lol

Cougarclaw

12:33pm

I rewound it and watched it again. #31 was not in the same universe athletically as Parker who in 5-7 yards made it so

kimdaddy35

12:34pm

I was dumbstruck by how fast Kingston was. Better/faster than Covey. PK to NFL?

Forzaitalia

Better and faster than Covey?

And the first person Kalani spoke with after the Alamo Bowl was Deion...

Duke Silver

Meanwhile, KW and his boss are berating officials.

Ray Shoesmith

The Ute takes on X are next level. I would like to express my appreciation for the entertainment

txblue All-American

I read his tweet as a joke. A light hearted way to say he is going to a rival.

Mister P

They really seem to love the phrase "chasing a bag".

Niiineteeen84

12:31pm

I love how unfair they think it is that they're small time compared to BYU

Belboz

12:33pm

Yep. They big-timed us for years. I got no sympathy

txblue

12:38pm

Tanuvasa: incredible!

YSMACK

12:27pm

+ the best LB corp in the B12

Blueto

12:28pm

It's possible our LBers next year will be the best BYU's ever had. And we've had some elite groups before.

HarlemCoug

12:31pm

Where did Bernard go?

Mister P

12:30pm

he aged out.

HarlemCoug

12:32pm

It was his 7th year at Utah. He ran out of eligibility. Signed Rising.

YSMACK

12:32pm

Spencer Fano was Utah's highest rated player in 2024

SV72 Sale

12:33pm

Don't count him out at BYU. There is still the spring portal.

CopperLix

12:35pm

Fanos would probably rather die than go to BYU.

Clegg, Ryan, Tanuvasa are the 3 I can think of...

Did we lose anyone to them?

Mister P

No.

HarlemCoug

pittsburghcoug

He looks and moves like a guided missile.

DeepCCoug

Is he for sure back next year?

Huge Manatee

12:24pm

Yes

pittsburghcoug

He has eligibility left, but did he announce for sure that he isn't going pro?

crazY

I'm glad he could still love BYU after they despitefully used his old team.

DirtyWater

12:20pm

Utes and non-ALUF are going to blow a gasket

MajorZeus

12:20pm

He is all class. I could profit from his example.

Sandstone Cougar

12:22pm

Could tell when he picked up trash his fans had thrown on the field postgame

fulano

12:24pm

That sounds exactly like Kalani Sitake. Love and learn FTW

Belboz

12:22pm

Oh man, utah fans aren't going to react well to that.

Mister P

12:22pm

Sounds like he's coming to exactly where he should always have been.

DeepCCoug

12:23pm

That is just perfect.

realtall

12:24pm

This will be good. I'm sure Utes will take that in the way he meant it and respond rationally...

byuluvr

12:25pm

Awesome. Especially considering Kalani's post-game Utah speech in the locker room.

IdahoCoug

12:25pm

Could take these three ways.

Cougarclaw

12:29pm

I think it's all 3. Sitake's "love and learn" atmosphere seems perfect for him

Belboz

12:31pm

I see this as a direct response to the way that Kalani approached the rivalry,

Pangare

12:34pm

Jake leads Marion by 2 feet instead of having to slow down

claw

12:19pm

Marion catches the ball that’s hits him in chest may have been a TD too.

mulletino

12:19pm

That ball was knocked down by the DB

puntersarepeople

12:20pm

It wasn't, it looked like it though

wildeone

12:21pm

Made much harder to catch by DB. Needed a better throw there for sure

fulano

12:26pm

I think he was thrown off because it looked like for a second that the defender

wildeone

12:21pm

point is, if he leads Marion properly, it's a sure six

mindzeYe

12:21pm

Blaming Marion for it is silly.

spugeddy24

12:22pm

Agreed. I thought the defender knocked it away at the last second. Either way

RalphWiggam

12:24pm

A 40 yard bomb to a target at full speed is a tiny bit harder than it looks

darkcoug

12:23pm

I love when people say CBers couldn’t do it so we can’t expect it of a college level athlete.

spugeddy24

12:24pm

If the average college QB could hit guys perfectly in stride 40+ yards down

Ghost of Peanut

12:29pm

Didn’t need to be perfectly in stride. Just not as behind as it was. And Jake has missed too many downfield passes this

spugeddy24

12:31pm

No way half of CB makes that throw better than Jake did. It was not perfect

fulano

12:27pm

Are there any quarterbacks at any level who are 100% accurate on those kinds of

SoCalCoug

12:24pm

No, which is precisely why the likes of Payton Manning have preached for years that the QB’s job is to get the ball in

Zach Morris

12:38pm

Saying it’s 100% on Marion is just silly. We can’t absolve Jake of all responsibility. Make a better throw.

spugeddy24

12:42pm

He has been pretty inaccurate all year throwing down field. He hit a couple guys

Duke Silver

Longseason

12:18pm

Oh good, more Utah players. We need back-ups.

deliciousmocha

12:20pm

For so long, BYU and Utah couldn't poach each other b/c the transfer rules

DirtyWater

12:18pm

Also I recall KW was petty and didn't release people to certain schools earlier

Rhubarb

12:26pm

I like our running backs but I wouldn't mind a speed back

Archaea

12:17pm

We had one in Miles Davis but speed is the least important

I'mBatman

12:22pm

He also ran too erectly. Power and vision are important but if we

Archaea

12:25pm

I had hopes for Davis, but his vision was not great. More importantly, he didn't

LifeLongLakerFan

12:33pm

He was a converted wide receiver, and never got the hang of running back.

Archaea

12:34pm

KVN with a much deserved shout-out.

IdahoCoug All-American

12:17pm

11 and 1/2 sacks?!?! WOW!

DeepCCoug

12:20pm

incredible to do that as this point in his career after losing a roster spot.

Cougarclaw

12:31pm

Seems like KVN has always been the type to thrive in the right system.

Junior Deputy

Some TSA lady just shamed the daylights out of some dude for littering when going through security and I’m all for it.

spugeddy24 AOC #1 Fanboy

12:16pm

Littering is a great sign of a terrible person. Especially when a trash can is so close.

byuluvr

12:18pm

Dude acted like she was the crazy one and she lost it. She was mildly annoyed before and then she unloaded. It was great

spugeddy24

12:20pm

Littering and shopping carts in the parking lot (unless it’s a mother with a baby).

Upon some reflection, the only bowl sponsor brand that has truly, fully leveraged their sponsorship is Pop Tarts.

The key is not taking themselves too seriously. It's kitchy and fun.

He'll be downgraded to a 3 star by EOD
