I'm feeling better and better about the game - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

the closer it gets. I had the same feeling against TCU and Oregon last year. I think its because BYU has had such a good streak when it comes to winning I'm forgetting what it feels like to lose. I like that a lot.

I think this game is a tight one, and I want to think that BYU comes out on top. My biggest question is, can they win a close game where a team comes out and fights back. The only game in the win streak where BYU faced a real challenge after going up was against Utah. Other than that, after taking the lead they just dominated. So I'm interested in seeing how BYU responds to adversity on the field. I hope they don't have to today, but UCLA looks to be a solid team. I'm not sure that we win this week, but as the game grows closer, I feel a lot better about a win.

GO COUGS!!!

Sizzle - I agree.

BYU makes it close (not necessarily a win) only if they keep UCLA from establishing a ground game. I don't worry about the coug's offense responding to adversity... the real question is how well the defense will respond if the cougs fall behind.

Go Cougs and Go Horned Frogs! We need a little bit of respect for our sad conference and we need some BCS money!

Sorry, I've gotta go Rocky Balboa on you and call it like I see it... you selfish bastard.

A win over UCLA and a win over Texas would be HUGE for the conference.

Sorry about your parents not being married when you were conceived. Must be a heavy cross to bear.
