Obviously, it was more exciting to beat Penn State. But, I didn't fret that New Mexico was on the schedule. My friends and I loved all games in 'Cougar Stadium' (not wierd at all). We didn't sit arounds fretting about whether we were playing New Mexico or UCLA.
Based on many on CB, current fans worry more about what the nation and UU fans think of BYU AND who BYU is on the schedule. I 'worry' if the team is doing well (win or lose) and if they are fun to watch. For me these last two years have not been fun to watch because of the offense — even though they were 9-4 and then 4-9. I'm just hoping that the product on the field is more fun to watch in 2018 (and I think it will be).
