Perhaps it’s just me – but all the BYU fans in my neighborhood seem far more excited about this football game than myself and the other Ute fans that also live around me. When I run into them outside or at church, they are always wanting to engage me and get my thoughts and feelings about the game. I have had a difficult time really engaging them and having any sort of good discussion. As BYU fans, this game means a lot more to them than to me. It is also obvious to me they are excited that we have some injuries and it’s almost like they smell blood which is sort of funny. They seem to know that if we were at full health they wouldn’t have a shot.
My thoughts on the game? Call me naive but I really feel a lot like this game that I did about the Colorado State game last year. Our recruiting, speed and depth have improved year over year and I am thinking our athleticism and speed will shot itself. Joe Williams, our back up running back will run circles around anyone on the Y’s D. We really should win this game. My only concern is how much more the Y players (and fans as I’ve mentioned) seem to be up for this game.
Looking forward to watching the game and hope we win.
