that BYU fans think they are so high and mighty they are the top football program when really they had a couple good years now the universe righted it self and things are back to normal. They believe Utah and Chris Hill wanted to move on but the BYU alumni kept BYUs rivalry going because BYU needed a quality team to schedule and force to play. They believe Utah wanted to move on but thanks to Greg Hughes who brought on the audit game that is what Ute fans call this game. Many dont care about the game the players just dont want to be the team that loses to BYU.
Harlan is getting pressure to drop BYU and rikindal the USU rivalry game maybe play BYU every other year only at RES if BYU refuses thats on BYU then play USU instead the opposite year at RES so BYU even years USU odd years and only at RES not in Provo.
Because a rival is most commonly refers to a person or group that tries to defeat or be more successful than another person or group, which means that rivals tend to come in pairs. Candidates running for the same political office are political rivals, and two people trying to earn the exclusive affection of a third are romantic rivals. Teams, schools, or companies might be longtime rivals if they try over many years to outdo each other. BYU cant outdo Utah anymore 8 straight does not make a rival, Thanks to Greg Hughes Utah now has the audit game according to their fans.
Rival can also mean “equal” or “peer.” When the word is used in this way it's usually conveying how good or impressive something or someone is. Utah fans feel BYU is not an equal or a peer. Utah leads the series Utah is P5, in the PAC12, has won 8 straight, BYU needed Greg Hughes to force the game down their throats. I can see why they are bitter about this game.
