...a toss up; which excluding their beatdowns of us in 2004, 2008, and 2011 these games have been tossups going back to 1997.

Impossible. Utah will be all-world once again... at least according to 700

Except they don't play at a nuetral site

Last time BYU beat Utah in Provo was 2009.

Well of course

cougarmanguy

It affects the mental state of the players and coaches.

SandYFan

I don't believe that

cougarmanguy

6/27/17 10:56am

We got six turnovers and still lost last year.

StantonMac

6/27/17 10:58am

Yes. We also had an inept quarterback

cougarmanguy

6/27/17 10:59am

but almost all 6 had the same effect as punts. Deep in our own area

Valid point, but we are 3-6 against them at LES since 1997.

Cougar Insider

6/27/17 10:54am

It's definitely a toss up game

cougarmanguy

6/27/17 10:55am

I've heard we should win every year since... 2008?

SandYFan

6/27/17 10:55am

Well, since we should always beat utah this is correct

Since Ty Detmer left in 1991, BYU is 3-8 vs Utah in Provo

BYU Fan

6/27/17 11:00am

Utah is 8-3 over the last 11 games at LES.

tribUTE

6/27/17 10:57am

None of that has any bearing on this year

cougarmanguy

6/27/17 10:57am

Or else you'd be arguing that BYU would be even bigger favorites than they are

cougarmanguy

6/27/17 10:58am

There go those yewties again, doing the thing they like to accuse BYU fans of

whirl

Nice round number, 11. Try 7 of 10? Or 13 of 20?

canofpicante

6/27/17 2:30pm

of course he's going to pick the best stat to fit his point, EVERYONE does that

Dissenter

Isn't Utah like 20-0 against the spread in the rivalry game?

Windward_Coug

6/27/17 11:11am

Pretty sure BYU won vs the spread last year but your point is valid

BYU Fan

6/27/17 11:18am

Ill confirm that. Vegas always underestimates the utes in their biggest game

YouPuntYouDye

6/27/17 4:12pm

It means that according to history by is going to lose

Backcountry

Super. That basically sets us up to lose..
