That is what I completely disagree with. Don't use Utah's 2008 season as an example of greatness and what a "good" undefeated team should look like. It is still way too early in the season to know the complete outcome, but so far BYU's team this year is at minimum on par with what that Utah 2008 team was doing.

Compare this team to BYU 1984 or 1996. Compare to Utah 2004 or 2008

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Also doesn't remember 1983 or 1980.

Don't compare them.

Actually I was thinking this team was very similar to 1984

Yep, the '84 team had some nail-biters against lesser competition

UU 2008 was a handful of plays away from 3 losses.

You're basing that opinion on a few close/sloppy games?

Doesn't change the fact that Utah needed luck that year...

I agree

I really don't remember the 1984 team very well, but I don't think this team is
