POLL: What do you consider to be the biggest single reason for BYU's losing to Utah from 2010 on?

4/24/17 1:49pm

Significant player talent discrepancy. Even greater coaching talent discrepancy

Backcountry

4/24/17 1:50pm

And lack of overall depth.

Everyman

4/24/17 1:51pm

So why have the games been so close?

No, it's a legitimate point. If the discrepancy so wide

Beggar

4/24/17 2:59pm

Exactly

4/24/17 3:02pm

No. A win is a win. Utah doesn't blow anyone out, but they win a ton of games.

Backcountry

4/24/17 3:03pm

I don't look at it that way

4/24/17 3:05pm

That is exactly why our games are close.

4/24/17 3:10pm

Except not

4/24/17 3:12pm

What's your theory?

This is 2nd to mental.

I'd love two more wins with two last second fg's

Thanks Han

Since when can we thumb up our own posts? Especially bad ones?

4/24/17 2:31pm

Don't buy it.

12 draft picks to 3

It's different from year to year

4/24/17 1:59pm

Recruiting OL and DL. BYU got worse and Utah just kept getting better.

Coaching emphasis.

Thrill

4/24/17 2:08pm

Bronco Mendenhall, so # 3 & 5.

4/24/17 2:18pm

Utah to P12. Better talent. Lavell Edwards isn't your coach, etc.

4/24/17 2:23pm

Utah was beating BYU by larger margins BEFORE P12. Obviously it didn't

4/24/17 2:37pm

It seems the recruiting gap got wider since Utah knew they were going to the Pac

Blue Cat

4/24/17 3:13pm

Numbers on paper don't mean much. Talent gap like some claim would have

4/24/17 3:20pm

It did produce results. 6 straight wins.

4/24/17 4:15pm

You have no evidence of that. Correlation in some areas, not causation

4/24/17 4:59pm

6 straight wins + actual recruiting class rankings gaps = actual gap.

4/24/17 5:24pm

You're right. I laughed at the person who said luck.

4/24/17 5:34pm

Position by position Utah has more talent than BYU.

4/24/17 5:39pm

From 2010-13, I think Bronco just got straight-up outcoached

Byu_1988

4/24/17 2:26pm

The incredibly stupid turnovers that have changed the game in Utahs favor eachyr

Should have included "The Max Hall Curse".

Better athleticism generally across much of the roster.

4/24/17 3:30pm

#5, and I'd also add depth.

Several BUT 1 annoying trend: 1 coach preached its just another game & 1

4/24/17 4:19pm

BYU was over emotional. That was part of the problem. Bronco was not saying

BYUtka

4/24/17 4:55pm

Then contradicting his words to team did same thing.

4/24/17 5:03pm

Mostly less points at the end of regulation, among other factors.

Graig Swame

4/24/17 6:19pm

Their players are better prepared in that game than ours

Max Hall saying the "hate Utah" speech

4/24/17 7:53pm

None of the above/Max Hall curse
