You honestly think our top targets Tanner McKee, Tommy Togiai and others are more interested in us beating utah over LSU?
I can see the argument for in-state recruiting battles, but there is plenty of instate talent the next few years and Kalani already has a lot of those kids heavily considering BYU -- despite 6 in a row. Winning on a national stage against an elite opponent is plenty of a draw to keep these kids interested.
I'd definitely like to win both (and I hope we do), but in a hypothetical situation choosing between the two, I would choose LSU. You are entitled to your opinion though and I respect that opinion for what it is.
Go Cougs!
