Takes a bit of the sting out of this year knowing that Utah's riding a 4 game losing streak, and there is a very real possibility that they could lose 3 of the next 4 and miss a bowl game as well.
More sad is that BYU is playing severely less than their potential. Utah St is not, and has not recently, been a powerhouse. 4-8/8-4 win seasons are the norm for them. Utah was bound to have a "substandard" season at some point; Alabama has had 10-2 seasons in the past few years. The worst part about this quandary is that, had BYU been mentally/physcially prepared, they could be 8-1 after beating SJSU (likely loss to Wisconsin, close win vs LSU who lost to Troy), 12-1 season with a bowl game. Even without that, if we had no quarterback injuries, we could be maybe 5-3. We likely beat Utah State, maybe beat Boise State with a healthy Mangum who can slide out of the pocket without tripping or limping, and maybe he can be a factor running vs Boise State & ECU like he was as a Freshman/Sophomore or against SJSU.
