BYU "hype" makes me very cautious: just hope for this team to keep humble yet highly motivated to play each of their positions to the very best!! SEC teams might recall the previous losses to BYU were also under great odds against BYU, making those wins SO much sweeter!!
Finally a measured take from someone who knows the Holy War. I'm nervous, and hearing a lot of the pundits act like this is a foregone conclusion just makes me even more nervous.
This video has aged well! No sarcasm! Just watched it in light of BYU's victory. This was a great retrospective, complete with film from those previous infamous and epic rivalry matchups. Other TH-camrs and commentators talk about some of these moments, but they only talk, failing to show the full and expansive list of crazy, heartstopping finishes. Lending your explanation and providing a voice over the clips of footage from each of those coronary-inducing finishes from yesteryear was far above any other videos I've seen this past 2 weeks, and most of those were from professional outlets who just dont put in the work. Thank you! Keep up the elite work. Your channel feels different, just like this BYU team this season, up to this point anyway. Lets hope they can manage to win their next 5 matches. All their remaining matches might be asking too much, but the next 5 would be amazing.
As a BYU fan, I won't count my chickens till they're hatched. We've been much farther down this road before our hopes were crushed. I'm just enjoying the games with no expectations.
Best attitude to have. It’s just a game and we as fans have nothing to do with the outcome and it’s either they win or they lose and we either congratulate them for the win or suffer if they lose. Fans don’t win and fans don’t lose.
Wow. This video seems prophetic now. It really seemed like someone was pulling some strings from beyond to squeak out a BYU win. The ghost of Lavell lives on. This is also the second time a Jew parted the Red Sea.
I agreed with the “throw out the record” storyline for a week and a half. But then BYU debuted at #9. And if we have learned anything this year, it’s that a disrespected Cougar is a vitriolic Cougar. 34-13, and Utah can blame the committee for giving BYU the needed fuel.
While I am EXCITED about “THE” TEAM !!! I find it hard to see a Ntl. Championship? IF they continue to play well n excel more ! No injuries! Still hard to phantom? I WOULD LOVE to EAT CROW !!!!!!!!!!!!! BYU !!!!!🎉🎉
I first attended BYU in the 70s and since then I have been pissed off bummed out, let down so many times when the cougars lost games they were supposed to win and managed to find ways to choke in the last minute or two, that I do not dare get excited about this team. Only when and if they get to the end of the season at 12 and 0 will I really start to have hope. It’s just what we call. Cougar choke conditioning.
I'm a pretty paranoid BYU fan. But it's time to stop thinking like this. No team can win without a competent, confident QB. Whit benched Isaac for a dude who's never played a snap of football as a starter. and when you do that, you're going crush the kid's confidence. But it's going to matter, because Jay Hill will eat either of them for dinner. And Utah's defense has been decent... but against who?! University of Arizona? Houston? TCU? Outside of ASU, the average win totals of Utah's opponents is 3.25. This one's not going to be close tomorrow. 38-24 and only because Kalani refuses to step on throats. 10 points will come after midway through the 3rd.
One day, people will understand that rivalry games can't be predicted like this guy thinks they can. Not gonna be close? Great call. How many times has BYU been favored and then lost? 😅😢
Your checklist of BYU cant Do's... made me LMAO!!😂 BYU cant win during the day?? WTF? So WHEN do they play their games... all at night?? BYU can't win against a BACKUP QB?? R u seriously?? So they beat all the starting QB's but against pathetic 2nd string qb's they are winless?😮 Where do U get yur data from? Now for the EST Coast, u may have some truth, but again how often do they play so far east? It's like saying: BYU cant win on days ending in Y, or against teams with animal mascots, or blue colors, or against back up centers?? No, its a rivalry!! It will come down to the 4th qtr or even the last field goal... wink, wink??😅
Gotta disagree. This is not even a top ten team. Take for instance Utah's defense and how high they rank in various categories. That's a top ten team defense. BYU doesn't have that on either side of the ball.
And now BYU has beaten that "top ten" defense. It wasn't pretty, but they did do it. And BYU's defense? They admittedly got schooled in the 2nd quarter on Saturday. But man, they held Utah scoreless during quarters 1, 3, & 4. I'd say that is a pretty great team effort.
BYU fans are refusing to live in the moment. To paraphrase the current VP, we are burdened with what was. This team does not know what it is like to lose to Utah. This team does not make stupid mistakes, unlike the teams you highlighted in the video.
Seriously!!! Y'all just need to stop!!! This won't age well if they lose! Let's use our memories... every time... EVERY TIME ya'll start talking like this, BYU finds a way to choke! There's still 4 games left in the regular season!!! Please chill! Let them be the dang underdog! They play so much better that way! We can make these gay videos after the season. But please... Pretty, please... until then... can we just assume they'll choke like they always do so we can be pleasantly surprised if they win?
Well one day after the 2024 version of the Holy War and you can check another box. Instant classic. Of course.
any BYU fan knows this going to be very very close. no matter what the odds say
That is not true
Not me. This shit ends today.
In order for this year’s game to be close, Utah would need a number of things to bounce in their favor. BYU is simply the better team
welp
@@matthewkundis5642 😉
Awesome video! The sight of Retzlaff parting the Red Sea and Lavell Edward peaking up over the U’s stadium were pretty good.
Glad you enjoyed it!

It’s gonna be another classic I fear haha

this video made my palms sweaty. i’ll be there tomorrow. GO COUGS
The team of destiny prevails! 9-0!
As a BYU fan, I won't count my chickens till they're hatched.
We've been much farther down this road before our hopes were crushed.

In one day this video has aged like the finest of grape juices
We did it 🥲
This team!!!
I'm from the future. This game did not disappoint. Average holy war game
great video, super underrated channel 🔥looking forward to the game tmr!
Wow. This video seems prophetic now. It really seemed like someone was pulling some strings from beyond to squeak out a BYU win. The ghost of Lavell lives on. This is also the second time a Jew parted the Red Sea.
GREAT video, dude. Glad I watched it AFTER we broke the streak in SLC 😉
You just made me more nervous for this game.
Time to change the narrative and start our own winning streak!
Let’s go!!
@@westonware14 sick video, bro let’s go blue!!!
I agreed with the “throw out the record” storyline for a week and a half. But then BYU debuted at #9. And if we have learned anything this year, it’s that a disrespected Cougar is a vitriolic Cougar. 34-13, and Utah can blame the committee for giving BYU the needed fuel.
So much heartbreak growing up, let’s just take care of business tonight, go Cougs!
As painful as all those years losing there was, it makes this win we got even that much more sweet!!
You cooked with this video
Nicely done!
Stay HUMBLE !
Be a TEAM !!
Yeah byu won let’s goo🎉🎉🎉
While I am EXCITED about “THE” TEAM !!!
I find it hard to see a Ntl. Championship?
IF they continue to play well n excel more ! No injuries!
Still hard to phantom?
I WOULD LOVE to EAT CROW !!!!!!!!!!!!!
BYU !!!!!🎉🎉
Well done!!
Thank you!
THEY DID IT!
Love the sainted LaVell.
When BYU and Utah are in the same conference, what is the record against Utah?
I read they were in the same conference from 1922-2010... so subtracting the 1-9 PAC years, BYU is 32-50-4 against Utah outside of Pac years.
I first attended BYU in the 70s and since then I have been pissed off bummed out, let down so many times when the cougars lost games they were supposed to win and managed to find ways to choke in the last minute or two, that I do not dare get excited about this team. Only when and if they get to the end of the season at 12 and 0 will I really start to have hope. It’s just what we call. Cougar choke conditioning.
It was too close of a game. Thank goodness we won.
Desperation is always the path to losing!
Let’s gooooo byu
BYU by 50 😤 go Cougs!
Let’s goo
Mormon power 💙
Bro I’m Mormon and love byu but why can’t we just keep it about football
Who is watching this after the byu Utah game
I'm a pretty paranoid BYU fan. But it's time to stop thinking like this.

I’ll take that score everyday of the week!

@@elche1976 Look, I'm totally fine admitting when I got it wrong.
@Asianjon85 oh I get it. After decades of just expecting disappointment from my team, usually the shock of being wrong is when they play well.
Let’s goo BuFFS
as a utah fan i feel robbed by the refs mark harlan couldn’t have said anything better

If you’ve followed byu football at all the last few years you’d know those have been the narratives. Not saying I agree with it
Absolutely. Clearly an outsider, haha. All those checkboxes hit dead on.
I was at that 2016 game. It's such a different feeling being their live AND getting to trash talk to people in their face 😂
Lol. Sounds very peacemaker of you.
✅ that too
Huh, there was a time when I cared about college football.
Gotta disagree. This is not even a top ten team. Take for instance Utah's defense and how high they rank in various categories. That's a top ten team defense. BYU doesn't have that on either side of the ball.
Yeah BYU has nothing but a 9-0 record. That's a pretty good stat.
And now BYU has beaten that "top ten" defense. It wasn't pretty, but they did do it. And BYU's defense? They admittedly got schooled in the 2nd quarter on Saturday. But man, they held Utah scoreless during quarters 1, 3, & 4. I'd say that is a pretty great team effort.
In 1984 under Steve Young BYU won most of their games by 50 points.
Their schedule was also much weaker.
Umm, Young graduated after the ‘83 season. Bosco was our QB in 1984, and we’ve never won most of our games by 50 points.
BYU fans are refusing to live in the moment. To paraphrase the current VP, we are burdened with what was. This team does not know what it is like to lose to Utah. This team does not make stupid mistakes, unlike the teams you highlighted in the video.
Bwahaha. Great use of a socialist slogan. Odd, but definitely got a laugh.
Seriously!!! Y'all just need to stop!!! This won't age well if they lose! Let's use our memories... every time... EVERY TIME ya'll start talking like this, BYU finds a way to choke!

Chill my guy. This video has zero baring on the outcome tomorrow
Say your Ute fan without saying your Ute fan😂 you it’s going to be a blow out cry about it little bro😢
