That game emasculated Utenation like nothing most of us have witnessed. Other than the diehard's the rest of Utenation went into a hibernation after that miracle and the season BYU had in 2007. Last year returned Utah football into the shadow of BYU football in a very rude way and the impact on excitement for hoops, another place BYU presently owns Utah, was not real great for Utenation.
I like Boylen a lot, but most realize that Utah saw its pinnacle just a few years ago and it is going to take some time to reenergize those who believe they had discovered their manifest destiny.
It will be interesting to see how the Utes react against a very difficult UNM squad on saturday.

If I lived in Utah I would have been at the game but alas I am a diehard
