the BYU football program, Bronco was standing on the field at LES and said something like, "This is the last time we'll play them for a few years. Not our choice...it was their choice. We'd like nothing more than to beat them and make them think about it for a couple of years." (Again, paraphrasing, but that was very close to what he said.)
In addition, on his radio program and other things he mentioned how it wasn't just any other game, etc. and that they and the players weren't going to treat it as any other game because in all honesty it's not just another game....yadda yadda yadda.
I have no idea how the preparations went or anything. I didn't see those.
