It's amazing what a decade of wins turn into.

BYU has beaten themselves as much as Utah has beaten BYU, but at the end of the day a win is a win and as long as Utah keeps winning BYU fans really have nothing left to say....Ewt fans can be as arrogant as they want because their team wins.

I didn't care for Kai Nacua and Austin McChesney getting ejected in 2016

But that's the nature of these games. They're almost always close. Even when

You're right. Just a lamentation really.

Hang in there. Didn't use to be like this. I remember watching in 1988 and....

No doubt Utah is in our heads. Players, coaches and fans.

Agreed. Players generally follow their coaches and KW "hates" losing to BYU.

I see Grimes having this kind of fire in his belly....

Utah isn't "big time", but calling them a mid-tier team isn't accurate. As a *brand*, they're not in the same tier as

They are a mid-tier program in the PAC12

Are you not able to differentiate a brand from a team? I'm not arguing that Utah and USC are even in the same ballpark,

Would love to see BYU turn this around.

I think Utah had 6 turnovers

It’s why a win this year means everything and nothing at the same time.

Welp, that is a depressing post to read to start my day off..

1988 is my vote for the turning point

I can see that. But winning in Provo for the first time in over two decades and

So you’re telling me there’s a chance!

1995 is the turning point for me. 88 felt like a fluke and 93/94 felt like BYU

Good post. I said it last year and I'll say it again. Our rivalry is

The X-factor is P5 depth. Both teams have talented starters, but Utah has much more depth.

And this is the year Kyle showed up on the scene. No coincidence.

I hate losing to the U but what I REALLY "despise" is their sheer arrogance....

I have always gone with 2002-present.

Reasonable minds can differ. I see the point, and it's well made.

This post made me curious, and so I decided to check out the record of every BYU HC in the Rivalry Game, and it just

It also helps LaVell that he coached during the lowest point of Utah football.

I’d argue LaVell has indirectly helped Utah football more than Utah football

That’s a great find.
