I have, the question is if he is serious or not?
Sooner than later? Now I get if he/she means sooner (not likely) or later, but not than.

BYU has had big play potential, it's just that Utah's defense can shut it down. Puka and/or Romney are no better than most of the WRs we see in the PAC and that is if they are healthy? "Coupled with excellent TEs", you have no idea if one and certainly not two are excellent, they never faced a quality defense and anything close to Utah and had to worry about your oversized Oline and run support. Utah doesn't have that issue, Utah will be playing with the next NFL Dline guys, just need to figure out which ones? Behind them, NFL LB, behind them NFL secondary. See where I'm going with this? You get 4* Puka from UW, we get their 4* safety.

"BYU’s TEs have historical been a tough matchup for Utah" yet been facing a Rex/Bushman type for 3 years in practice in Kuithe and other solid TEs in the PAC, this is nothing new to Utah. Bushman with 62 yards and no TDs in '19, meh, 92 yds and 1 TD in '18 isn't special when the defense doesn't show up for 3 qtrs, couldn't get a first down when needed the most. "Mobile QBs" like Hill, Wilson, Daniels, DTR, etc? Been there, done that. Solid RB, you mean like Allgeier who ran against undersized defenses? Utah didn't let a RB over 100 yds, if Allgeier can't do better than that, very little chance BYU wins. NOTHING BYU has is special that Utah hasn't seen, nothing. I'm not saying they aren't good but not special, Utah has seen it all, "more honest defense" doesn't change anything even putting all that together.

Now, to my point about Utah. When Utah has had an average QB (Utah standards) the game has been closer but when you has a good QB (again, Utah standards) it hasn't been close. This year I believe Utah has a good to very good QB which means everything on the offense takes a step forward. I heard that BYU hasn't been any closer than 14 to start the 4th and only once had a chance to make a play for a win, once!

Again, if TFL was serious and really thinks BYU will take a step, fine, Utah takes one or two as well so that is why it won't be sooner than later, it's not likely sooner but eventually will be later, maybe?

My money is USU will beat you again before BYU beats Utah, the talent gap between USU and BYU is closer than BYU and Utah, not to mention coaching.

I took TFL seriously, that's why I didn't get the troll vibe.
