QB and Oline play. Utah had better play in both areas every year except 2010.

BYU choked the 2010 game. Should not have lost that one.

POLL: The primary reason BYU has lost to Utah the last four years is:

Line play

CoopDizz

7/25/14 1:44pm

aggression

Bronoc

7/25/14 1:46pm

Yup, low mental fortitude.

EEcougar

7/25/14 1:47pm

Trademark, low mental fortitude, esp in the trenches

traveller 1860

7/25/14 1:53pm

yup

I think there were probably multiple reasons why. Luck always plays a factor,

RockOn1

7/25/14 1:46pm

IMHO, I don't think any of those games had luck as a factor

Byu4life

7/25/14 1:48pm

maybe 2010

Bronoc

7/25/14 1:49pm

A lot of luck for them in 2012, too

CoopDizz

7/25/14 1:53pm

Just a random thought, who's idea was it to play a QB with a broken back?

RockOn1

7/25/14 1:59pm

Utah didn't break his back or decide he would play

CoopDizz

7/25/14 2:11pm

Ok, 54-10 probably did not require luck.

RockOn1

7/25/14 1:51pm

Utah scored more points.

BYU stopped living right, on and off the field.

Never about talent. Always mental.

southernfriedcougar

7/25/14 1:48pm

So wrong. Utah has been more talented.

The Lone Wolf

7/25/14 2:18pm

1. speed at corner vs our receivers. So go single coverage

Complete inability to throw the long ball on BYU's part.

SandYFan

7/25/14 2:02pm

inability to throw the long ball= mug recievers at the line, rush QB.

traveller 1860

7/25/14 2:05pm

Mainly because the OL has given our QBs no time to throw the past 4 years

CoopDizz

7/25/14 2:15pm

Utah treats that game differently, Bronco does not.

Flyski

7/25/14 2:09pm

Not true - in fact, last year it was emphasized over and over again . . .

CoopDizz

7/25/14 2:14pm

Utah= Total different FB Culture & mental approach to the game

traveller 1860

7/25/14 2:18pm

Makes sense, I can go with that.

Flyski

7/25/14 2:32pm

Talent gap and mental edge, both equal.

The Lone Wolf

7/25/14 2:16pm

Mental

thenewguy

7/25/14 2:18pm

Utah wanted it more than BYU players

Harrison0Yfan

7/25/14 3:07pm

Doesn't this point to coaching?

RockOn1

7/25/14 3:12pm

Yes, but it can go beyond that too

Harrison0Yfan

7/25/14 3:25pm

Of course motivation is different for each player. The coaches' responsibility

RockOn1

7/25/14 3:53pm

I think BYU players cared a lot about the game

Bronoc

Having earned a living playing sports before moving into my current profession

Cougarpride

Is there a primary reason?

Blue Cat

The curse of Max Hall

ALUF 1990

could very well be

Bronoc

7/25/14 4:38pm

Recruiting is a big part of coaching >Utah had better Players.

BYU DUDE 1984

7/25/14 5:22pm

I was hoping Bronco would use the bye week for mental edge, not vacation

Y4LYFE

7/25/14 5:30pm

So many to choose from:/

Utah has had better talent, coaching and mental toughness. How can you disagree

BlueForLife

7/25/14 6:28pm

I don't think Utah had the mental edge unless you refer Utah being mental

TheDean

7/25/14 7:42pm

The past few years we have struggled mentally against our rival and also in

BlueForLife

7/25/14 8:58pm

I don't think so as BYU had a 16-0 lead with 6-8 minutes left in the game in
