Does the fact that Taysom never beat Utah damage his BYU legacy and how much?

Exactly. Tons of BYU players go without beating Utah.

This is an environment of welcoming, and you can jus get the heck outta here.

Come on, guys. You gotta give him credit for that one.

Yup. Painful, but brilliant.

It's sad that there are BYU players that are going their whole 4 year career

Yes.

For sure. I'm sure he would agree.

It is like asking does losing more games hurt your legacy? Of course it does. Legacies are built on winning and beating

Baron

Ute trolls are around today

Turnpike Lane

5/26/18 9:40pm

Yes. Gotta beat your rival.

BlueForLife

5/26/18 9:41pm

Does it hurt Utah's legacy that Ute fans care more about BYU than Utah?

Game Changer

5/26/18 9:43pm

Haha. Utah's legacy

MaxxPower

5/28/18 12:09pm

Of course it does but only the fans care. Taysom isn’t losing any sleep

5/26/18 9:47pm

It did when he was in Provo but he's moved on and so has his legacy, which was

A competent OC gives him a 2 pt conversion play that can actually

5/26/18 9:52pm

The Utes came into that play in a formation not seen all game. 6 down lineman.

ToasterChive

5/26/18 9:57pm

And Taysom made a bad decision.

Plato

5/27/18 11:27am

How so the whole left side of Utah's defense was in his face as soon as the snap

ToasterChive

5/27/18 12:53pm

No, Taysom made a bad read on that play - he would have had a better chance

OGSuperfan

5/29/18 8:56am

There would have been 4 Yewts in the backfield

I'mBatman

5/27/18 1:04pm

That's correct, watch the replay on YouTube. There were 4 in the backfield and

ToasterChive

5/27/18 5:41pm

It makes it less than it would’ve been but his legacy will still be impressive

Cashmeousside

5/26/18 9:53pm

Nope. Same goes for KVN. Beating Utah is nice, but they aren’t the barometer I use to evaluate a players awesomeness.

Ned Schneebly

5/26/18 10:06pm

He only played them two times.... both times early in the year.

Dangerous

5/26/18 10:07pm

Strange excuses. Two times is as much or more than most QB’s get against their rival. Also

Zach Morris

5/26/18 10:24pm

Taysom will always be known as a freak athlete at BYU

kimdaddy35

5/26/18 10:28pm

Yes. Taysom got stuffed at the 3 yard line. That's why Max Hall is a legend. 2-1

Top 10 all-time BYU QB.

LaVellIfIKnow

5/26/18 10:31pm

That’s tough to be in. Who do you put him above in the greats category?

D.T. Survivor

5/26/18 11:10pm

No Utah win. No bowl win. Great win over a final top 20 team.

Blue Cat

5/26/18 10:46pm

Ouch

5/26/18 10:47pm

Feterik never owned a big time P5 like Taysom has done

CLCougar

5/26/18 11:07pm

That ASU team was better than either of the Texas teams Taysom beat.

Blue Cat

5/26/18 11:13pm

1997 he beat ASU. 1999 against Washington. Feterik had some good ones

Holy Driver

5/26/18 11:37pm

He also had Marshall at Motor City Bowl.....dunno if Taysom ever had a single game that

CLCougar

5/28/18 3:15pm

Feterik's bowl opponents were very tough.

Y05

5/28/18 4:16pm

Give Feterik and the defense credit for 97, but 98 belongs to Ronney Jenkins

Tarnish is probably too strong a word

I'd disagree. I'm no gator fan but I know that Manning never beat Florida.

UF mid 90s >>>>>> Utah mid 10s

Peyton Manning is a bad example because his NFL legacy overshadows

Yunit

5/27/18 2:36pm

His legacy was created here IMO. Those losses are already taken into account

Denesheo

5/26/18 11:17pm

Of course. He still has a great legacy. And he still has several things that "

Incentivize

5/26/18 11:30pm

Yep--beating Texas twice would pale in comparison to whooping the Yewts

Tsisquan

I think it does. You should make a poll.

Pretorian

Of course it does

Kerbouchard

It certainly doesn’t help it...

icecougar

5/27/18 5:53pm

Absolutely completely taints his legacy

nybyblue

5/27/18 7:10pm

Absolutely

Nagurski

5/27/18 7:50pm

Yes. How much? To the same extent that rivalries are part of the padgentry

Y05

5/28/18 5:47am

Only if you’re painfully superficial

Indy Coug

5/28/18 8:51am

A lot of us are superficial I guess. Because it’s hard to mention the greats

D.T. Survivor

5/28/18 1:51pm

Yes, but not a lot.

Tuskaloosa Cougar

Ask KVN.

It shouldn't
