Here's what Utah football fans don't get about the significance of this week...

Their fun decade of superiority is over and they know it

I don't think they "know" it...for all the reasons that they can't view BYU with

most of them don't even realize their team was 3-2 last year

I would Add 4 out of the last five games played we had the game & blew it.

Also, we can brag for three years.

Love the optimism but it will be years before we beat them again. At least 3.

Nah, I don’t think we lose to them in that time

I would bet that we play them in a bowl game before then. Just the way things

ESPN wouldn't want it any other way.

Oh, I think they get it. And they are going to have to think about it and cry for 3 years.

The biggest thing to me was that it didn’t take an all time great qb to win. We

As long as both teams are in P5 conferences, by far the most probable outcome is

I agree with this. And that would be a welcome change.

Do you consider Utah's 1988 win a blip or a momentum turner?
Captain Stubing
9/17/21 1:06pm
Definitely a blip. Not sustainable & we changed head coach a year later. McBride's 93 win in Provo was a turning point.
Tokolosh
9/17/21 1:12pm
Agree 1988 was a blip. Also agree it is too early to tell if this BYU win is...

Your run is over and that's all that matters. You should be wringing your hands over San Diego St.,

Blip city, are you kidding? In '89 we hung 70 on them...7 TD's in the 1st half!

That's a lot easier to say after missing last year's game as well, which you...
Sock Gnome
9/17/21 1:13pm
Ifs & buts... or something like that. Fact is we didn't play and perhaps not losing to Utah to start the year...
Tokolosh
9/17/21 1:16pm
Yeah, it's inconsequential that 9 guys from last year's team in are in the NFL.
Sock Gnome

We didnt actually win in 2020 but we had the better team and the buzz around it.

that's accurate
wilsdad

2020 should be counted as a probable win. The utes were not up to the task then and they and their fans know it.

Ty Jordan was a special talent. I don’t think
TFL

UU with Ty Jordan lost to worse teams than BYU in 2020.
Little Mac
9/17/21 4:23pm
Not really. It takes a few games to find an identity and for a line and RB
TFL
9/17/21 4:33pm
Wasn’t UU scheduled to play BYU in week 1 in 2020?
Little Mac
9/17/21 5:05pm
Yes. And what did BYU do week 1? Obliterate Navy

9/17/21 6:00pm
Excuses for what? Not giving BYU a hypothetical 2020 win? Weird.
TFL
9/17/21 6:03pm
As opposed to giving UU a win in 2021 if Ty Jordan was playing?
Little Mac
9/17/21 7:10pm
Exactly, 2021 question: Is it a huge rebuild or is it more of a reload…
The_Cuss
9/17/21 11:05pm
Exactly. Claiming a hypothetical victory is nonsense.
TFL
9/17/21 11:24pm
Who is claiming BYU is 2-0 vs Utah right now? We are saying odds are BYU

It was right around your 4th straight win where I started noticing the shift, which is well into the 2010's, not 2000's.

Right now is all that matters to me. And the next three years. I can ride

Weird. I live and work in Salt Lake and have not heard any chirping from Utah fans all week. Like, total silence.

It is weird. No talking about how they should have won? This is the way.

The hard-core Utes that hated BYU, hoped that BYU would quit sports or football

Coupled by the fact that Whit looks old and tired, even in language

Honestly, I know we're all excited about beating Utah, but the Big 12 news is MUCH MUCH bigger

This summary seems to get the long-term history right.
Little Mac

It's honestly amazing how little of the history between BYU/Utah has been really competitive; excited for that to return

We play Utah again this season? So weird. I'm pretty sure we beat them the only time we see them until 2024.

Another thing that adds to the momentum from last weekend, recruiting. We had 22 top flight recruits at that game.
