you guys looked screwed.

Kraft looks great in the 4th quarter and their defense isn't giving up much to tenn. Cougs will have their hands full. UCLA will have a lot of confidence if they pull this upset off.

Plus UCLA has an extra week to heal up and get ready. Dwayne Walker owns us. That game has officially become scary.

holy crap.
fucla putting up massive fight.

this game is fantastic to watch.

I know mikewaters isnt watching because Pac 10 football is excruciating to watch. Also, cannot afford the regional package.

Utah's chances of sneaking into the top 25 this week just went up.

We may be in big trouble but I'm sure glad UCLA won. If we can pull it out it'll look a lot better now.

I'm glad that you mentioned that, because I didn't open this thread wondering what people were saying about UCLA; rather my mind was going "man mikewaters OWNS tripletdaddy!" But now that wrong has been righted.

Back to the thread:
Utah > Big 10
USC > ACC
UCLA > SEC

I am excited. This is what fans should love to look forward to.

It should help with pucker factor for the team.

I think this is the best possible outcome for BYU/MWC.

This win puts a legit team (outside the Utes I hope) on BYU's schedule. The potential for BYU to wax a top 25 team at home will really help its chances moving forward. Sure, it'll be a tough game, but you'll have the emotion and momentum of playing at home, just like UCLA did tonight.

I agree.

Am I the only one who wasn't overly impressed with UCLA? Outside of the 4th quarter, all I could think was "we have this one in the bag."

UCLA's offense was awful for 3 quarters. Their D looks good, but BYU has seen it twice in the past year. If we haven't planned for the blitzing scheme of Walker yet, we deserve to lose. BYU's offense is much better than Tennessee's. UCLA's defense is solid, but they aren't as good as they were last year. BYU should win, especially with the home crowd advantage. Kraft looks like he could get rattled, and he never scared me as an Aztec. He certainly doesn't scare me now.
