El Bakri stepped up in a motivating way (that hit on the KO will be felt by the other kid for a month!).BYU football is a sleeping giant right now = could be great if it wakes up. If team leadership emerges among a few players, and then if others buy in, synchrony develops, then a taste of success, followed by more faith/confidence and pride as a team.
I'm not predicting this; just saying it could happen. We saw a hint of that yesterday. The quality of BYU's athletes is on the level. The coaches are not 100% responsible for all of this. Some of it is on the players.
We'll see how this team responds next week against Fresno St. Then we will know.

Utah would be in SERIOUS trouble if they didn't sell out any standards they might have been clinging to and get Carrington.The fact that BYU played them to a single possession and their kicker saved their trash bears this out. However, they are competing.Utah is not very good this year. They are in the worst spot talent wise they've been in many years, but they have hard nosed coaching that will keep them competitive and in games. This is the difference good coaching makes. If they were under BYU's staff they'd be winless and not competitive (like BYU).

Oregon destroys u of u.ASU dominates UT. They still don’t have a quality win. I know we don’t even have a quality loss, but Beehive State football on a real downer.Kids want to win. I get it. Dime a dozen. That’s why AL is number one every year. Not sure why these athletes who just want to win will necessarily go to UT. Name me a good team they’ve beaten this year. AZ? But I digress. I’m sure they will have a winning record when all is said and done, and if that is all it takes, then I’m sure UT will get their share. When the chips are down, we need leader/athletes who can lift. I hope there are some out there for us. We could use a few.

AND you are STILL not reading my post. I am NOT comparing BYU and UT. I am stating that football in the State of Utah this year is down. Your only response is they beat a 4-3 AZ Woohoo! The fact that UT beat BYU does not mean football in the State of UT is better as a result.Still don't agree. UU has wins against BYU (sure BYU sucks, but a win over BYU is a win) and AZ who has a winning record and is at least a p5 team. They've lost on a failed 2 point conversion against a ranked USC team and a FG loss to Stanford. Their record may be a downer, but they've got little to hang their heads over.
