I could just do the Whit era I guess. It would eliminate 1 outlier

And yet it would still be a pretty substantial difference. And yeah, I chose that era for a reason because it demonstrates Utah's recent dominance in the rivalry (which is the point I am making). Does making it a factor of 5 or 10 years somehow make the argument more relevant or appropriate?

Give Utah 5 points and they have won 15 out of 16

Hard to believe the incredible run of luck your boys are on.

445-308 since 2002. We have different definitions of "very close"

Lol. And if you remove the statistical outliers?

mulletino

Or just acknowledge that Utah has won by 7 or more 8 times in 16 years

Medute

Neat cutoff.

It's an era. It's not rocket science

Medute

6/24/19 10:33am

Hmmmm. 17 years is an awfully curious time frame to consider.

2002 is a strange cutoff considering the scores the decade before that for sure.

mulletino

6/24/19 9:23am

Yep, one could say that over 30 years, the rivalry has been "very close"

Medute

6/24/19 10:16am

Understood...no "jerkiness" was assumed, just noting how random time frames

StarMan

6/24/19 10:53am

I think that's my point. It's really not a random time frame

Medute

6/24/19 12:29pm

Ah, yes, the arbitrary "let's just start from 2002"

I think you're correct. BYU Football can really be separated into 3 eras...

Agreed. A "bad snap" is not "bad luck," any more than a WR drop, missed tackle

I want 13 points in 96, or I'll take the 7 in 1983

Unfortunately, the difference between a good team and a mediocre team...

Utah doesn't usually blow teams out though. They beat us every year in the

Don't know who you are, but I think you are the smart one!

I would add thought that Utah seems a bit less prepared in recent years.

6/24/19 11:46am

Yep, they've controlled the tempo of the game. Scoreboard is less indicative.

6/24/19 11:32am

We need to quit arguing about the streak

lbmango

6/24/19 11:01am

I would change 54-10 to 47-10.

I’d donate the 7 to TCU in 2008 vs Utah...

Come on, man! That's low! That Sugar Bowl win caused some obscure polling outfit (Baskin-Robbins?) to declare us

haha...sorry, just didn't want to waste it and was trying to see where it...
