"I think they want victories over Stanford, Oregon, UCLA, & USC as much & more"
You think that, but Dres doesn't agree with you per his remark does he? You say they want to beat Stanford, UCLA, as much AND MORE. Dres says:
"We talked about WANTING to win every game, BUT knew we better not......lose THAT game."
Didn't say "better not lose to UCLA or Oregon etc." He points out BYU as being the most important game to win over any other team in the conference. Doesn't sound like someone who wanted to beat those teams you pointed out AND MORE.
