My point is that BYU players and coaches can/should be able to see all of those things and say---"this is not just another game". I am not saying being crazy with emotion that it overrules good play, but if I were on this team, they Took out Taysom last year and whooped us on our field, etc- I would know they I would be amped for this game, too.
As of the BSU thing- I do not take as much stock in that. BSU is not the team they once were and we are better than that week, too. I also think that 7 turnovers would kill any team not named Alabama. That was an aberration, not a common game comparable.
