Next year will probably be our best shot to beat them in a while

On the other hand though, the success they're having this year should help them get the type of recruits that can plug holes left by what they lose.

Unfortunately, even if we beat them next year, I don't know that it'll mean that we are catching up. The disparity in recruiting is just too big.

They’re at a different level.

Barely winning nearly every game against BYU is a "different level?" The good...

To me it's not about Utah but about BYU upgrading talent like at DE & OL

They graduate a ton. We’ll see next year about never catching up.

Always next year with BYU fans

I pretty much thought 2016 was our chance. Super-senior QB and RB.

This is how it felt to be a Utah fan in the 80's.

If by saying a P5 invite isn't on the horizon...

Exactly how it felt.

Not exactly. In terms of the rivalry yes. But Utahs inclusion in the Pac 12

Nope. Not being too dramatic. BYU might win one here and there, but things

BYU doesn't have a name brand anymore, don't fool yourself.

Get off this board.

BYU certainly still has a brand...it’s a major part of what gets under

The problem with this argument is all of those programs you named

11/17/19 1:00pm

You do realize my reply was about Utah right?

JohnnyComeLately

11/17/19 1:04pm

Yes, I did. But you compared Utah to other P5 teams.

Traveshamockery

11/17/19 1:13pm

Much too dramatic

Haha! I'll have what you're drinking.

No. You are being realistic. But the insecure doofuses on CB whos self worth is

We'll "never" compete with Utah again? Are you sure you're a BYU fan? SMH....

BleedCougarBlue2

11/16/19 10:21pm

They have won 13 out of the last 16 and 9 straight and the recruiting gap

Utah’s success has more to do with Kyle Whittingham than it does

Pelican

11/16/19 10:36pm

I mostly agree, but Kyle has built that program up to the point where I dont

Backcountry

11/16/19 10:48pm

Kyle isn’t the reason

SC-Zoobie

11/17/19 11:34am

Primarily because of Kyle

Backcountry

I just don’t get this mentality.

You seem like a great dude. Dont be one of these CB idiots that does the stupid

“ it is unrealistic to think BYU will ever compete with them again.”

It's only been the closest-scoring rivalry in CFB for a few straight decades ...

Mostly close games ruined by bad coaching and player decisions

Many of the same who complain about how we only won by 4 scores over ISU

Backcountry

And...they were right.

No. Just enjoy what we are. Don't get up in arms over their success.

It's basically what you have to do.

It took me a while but I’ve finally reached this sentiment.

Traveshamockery

11/17/19 1:04pm

To me, it's not hard. If Whit had come to BYU, it'd have been different..

11/16/19 10:46pm

You have no idea of the restrictions/changes that are in place now vs then.

11/17/19 8:32am

Do you think Jim McMahon could get in and stay at BYU?

Cnation

11/17/19 10:18am

That's not an answer, it's a question.

Answer the question.

You first.

Point proven!

Cnation

11/18/19 8:56am

Kyle would struggle at BYU right now

SC-Zoobie

11/17/19 11:40am

I disagree. Every time a G5 and BYU beats a P5 team, it proves they can compete

byujdmba

There’s a reason he turned the job down..

Little Brother syndrome. Who cares about the Utes except when we play them...

yes, over dramatic. USC has superior athletes to utah and BYU beat USC.

They have some lower hurdles and have big money now

D.T. Survivor

11/16/19 11:20pm

Couldn't disagree more. Have you actually looked up their recruits vs ours?

Coug Dude

11/17/19 12:19am

Whittingham and staff are great talent recruiters/developers though.
