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

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.

7/25/14 2:18pm

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

Is there a primary reason?

could very well be

Bronoc

7/25/14 4:38pm

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

7/25/14 5:22pm

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

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
