Beating #24 USC was part of it, but those guys don't understand.

It was also:

Is this going to be another mediocre year?
Is Wilson the real deal?
Do we have any playmakers on either side of the ball who can be consistent?
Obviously Tennessee is very weak, so what did that really prove?
We are still floundering after yet ANOTHER Utah loss, full of pick 6s as usual and Whitt's smug mug.
Facing a potential 1-3 start to the season, no cupcakes in September for BYU like everyone else
Haven't had a good home win in how long...?
Listening to local media fawn over Utah and regular disrespect to BYU

The list goes on.
SO many questions were answered in that game and mostly had nothing to do directly with USC. We have some serious ballers, and guys were making some Sportscenter highlight plays, against a team nobody though we had the players with which to compete. Offense, defense, special teams, everyone played big and finally home fans had something to really get excited about going forward.

PLUS

It was an overtime INT to seal it!

You just stack it all together and of course fans were out of their mind.

Rush it all day I say. You've earned it sticking with these guys and always showing up.

It's about time we get excited.
