Toledo a "must win" game

I'm rarely one to call for a game to be a must win. But as I look at this season I can't find any way to dance around it. This game is a must win for the Cougars. If the Cougars drop this game they could be looking at a 1-8 start, if not a 1-9 start. That would be an absolute disaster of a season.

BYU needs a comfortable win to gain some swagger and confidence for some of the other tough games.

Before the season, I said we had nine losable games. That means we had to go 3-6 at worst if we wanted to go to a bowl game. So far we're 1-3 in those nine games. If we lose tonight we're 1-4 and we'll have to go 2-2 to make the Poinsettia Bowl. But that means winning some combination of at Boise, at Michigan St, at Cinicinnati and vs Mississippi St.

Does this one count as a "comfortable" win?

we won by 2! they would have needed a safety to tie with 0:00 on the clock. That's as comfortable as I've ever seen.

I wasn't comfortable until Almond's kick went through the uprights.

This win keeps the season alive for me. A surprise win next Saturday would really flip the season script.
