I'd argue that it's not a gap at the starter level, but in the depth.

The BYU Utah game is all mental for the Cougs. Until we get over that hurdle,

And talent.

And coaching

I have said this before, but I will say it again. BYU has beat teams with

Not while Whitt is there.

I don't believe that. I know everyone thinks they are going to be super awesome

They can underperform and still sleepwalk to victory over BYU

I hope they think they can sleepwalk to victory over BYU

Would be the biggest upset since the miracle on ice.

No way

And why not while KW is there?

Because i predicted it in 2011 and have been correct every year since!

So YOU'RE the one to blame? 🙂

100% mental. If you exclude the talent, depth, and coaching differential.

It's really not, there has been a talent gap most years.

Nope. Utah's starters out rank BYU's starters as recruits and as NFL draftees.

Out rank.....in recruiting rankings or on field production? I'll give you

OldFogey

On field performance or production would correlate with higher NFL draftees.

Yergensen

I see where you're coming from, but I was simply talking about on field

OldFogey

7/19/21 12:02pm

It has been both, but I agree Utah has had an even larger advantage in the depth

Yes to a degree, but there are a ton of factors that go into winning a game.

Utah is a bad matchup for BYU. They're also consistently top-half in the PAC-12
