BYU has had. NFL talent on both sides. This is the number 1 thing that has shifted to Utah's favor over the past few years - line talent.

I always think of beating ATM and KSU in the same season

Cyclogist

That was a great game against a very good Wyoming team.

I agree, but it's down my list of memories from that season...

True. That game was a bigger butt kicking than final score would indicate. BYU

I still get frustrated thinking about the no-calls for PI against KSU.

Metallicat

12/7/16 7:56am

Yep...but since the Y won, it kinda was forgotten about. One of the worst no

Amazing that 20 years later, people remember bad calls against the winning team.

We'd just finished grad school at tOSU so it was pretty awesome to have both alma maters end the season
