    That game will go down as a classic in this rivalry history. The Big 12 now understands what this series means and it came in like a runaway train with drama. BYU-Utah presidents' make ad asking for civility and respect...then AD Mark Harlan's post-game tirade of cheating. Wow

    Been covering BYU for 47 years and this may be most dominating bowl win ever. That 4 QB interceptions had no impact at all on the game, is remarkable. Great senior leadership in 2024.

    BYU advances to Sweet 16 with wire-to-wire over No. 3 seed Wisconsin. Kevin Young's team took on a team from the most physical league in the country, Big Ten, and laid the wood to the Badgers in impressive fashion. Not bad for a rookie college coach.

    Sam Leavitt barely had a little more experience than Bachmeier, and he led ASU to the Big 12 title. Let the QB battle begin at BYU and see how a 4-star signee does.

    Heard that 5-star Ryder Lyons will announce his college choice Tuesday at 9 a.m. on the Pat McAfee Show.

    Corbin Kaufusi said of the three surgeries he is facing, he'll choose do do the ankle on Monday. Pending are surgeries to his torn triceps and pinky finger which he'll probably do at the same time. The guy played his guts out.

    NCAA to BYU/Childs: We heard, we decided, we suspend. Go back to your corner and shut up. NCAA to Ohio State: We heard, we reviewed, we lift suspensions, go forth and earn everyone money; player can play when it counts.

    Door is open for Detmer to be included by new OC. Feel it for Detmer. Faced a perfect storm of schedule, injuries, QB shifts and injuries to 6 RBs. Detmer man of class, candor, humor, strength in a world filled with egos.

    Win or lose this one, this may be the scrappiest BYU football team I've seen in a very long time. Big play after big play, never get down on themselves and believe in one another. Nice road showing for Kalani Sitake's team.

    My younger brother Kent passed this morning in his Provo home as he prepared to go to isolation dialysis. It took just over a week with Covid-19 to take him down as a compromised health risk. Be careful out there. This isn't fair.

    There are recruits ready to announce commitments to Kalani Sitake, but want to put a little distance between Ryder Lyons' announcement because they knew that event "would block out the sun." Incoming... 24 to 48 hours.

    Kevin Young's BYU team might just be that good. On the road with a million turnovers and six minutes without scoring to begin the game, and upset Iowa State in double overtime. Very impressive delivery in seventh-straight win.
