This game was amazingly entertaining. It was filled with great plays from both sides of the ball. The Cougars performance was practically flawless. We couldn’t be stopped on offense and our defense produced turnovers, big hits and best of all kept a goose egg on the scoreboard. I think this game ranks among the best performances in BYU history. For me the best part of the game was the infectious energy of the crowd and the passionate display of athletic performances on the field.
How did I do?

I was …

I’m sorry this is off topic, but I had to bring it up.  How could you expect your team to be focused on a huge game when you have Snoop Dogg handing gatorade out on the sideline?  I guess the USC AD has 150-200 sideline passes for this weeks game in the Coliseum.  These passes will go to former players (OJ Simpson, please), administration, rappers, movie stars, and who knows who else.  Maybe Lauren from the Hills, just as long as Heidi isn’t there.  I’m not mad at USC, …

The man has a very long and impressive resume including: 27 years at BYU , he has been a Cougar assistant head coach, offensive coordinator, co-offensive coordinator, quarterback coach, receivers coach, recruiting coordinator and graduate assistant.  In 12 of 18 years as offensive coordinator at BYU, Chow led the offense to a place in the NCAA’s top 10 in total offense.  And those are only his numbers at BYU!  The man is a very good coach, so to say he will have his team ready is an understatement.

UCLA’s middle linebacker Reggie Carter, had a few passionate words for the Daily News of Los Angeles staff writer Brian Dohn.
“I’ve been waiting for this game since that field goal was blocked,” Carter said. “Tennessee, SEC, great game, but this game touches my soul. I was crying after we lost that game. That hurt bad. That is probably up there on my top two or three most painful moments of football.”

1.  BYU always has great offensive lines, and He wanted to develop his upper body by picking himself off the ground repeatedly on Saturday afternoons.  You know… make the body beach ready.
2.  He wanted to participate in UCLA’s annual underwear run.  All they had at BYU was the Rex Lee run, and the race for the cure.
3.  He liked the dark blue helmets, with the gold stripe down the middle.  Plus, the stretched Y disgusted him.

There is always some sort of a home field advantage.  Whether it is being familiar with the game day routine, or the crowd, or not having to travel.  I always felt so comfortable playing in Lavelle Edwards Stadium.  I would arrive at the stadium walk to my locker, go get taped-up and drink a Powerade.  Then I would put on my socks, pants and cleats and walk out the tunnel to the field.  When I got to the field, I would walk down the home sideline to the opposite goal line, across …

I just want to shed some light on the hiatus that Neuhisel took from the college game.  I have a good friend who played high school ball in Washington during slick Ricks coaching tenure there.  He was an outstanding defensive lineman that wound up choosing BYU over Washington.  He recently relayed to

Complete statistical domination, yet the turnover margin cost us the game.  I think I saw a few shots of yours truly on that video.  One thing about the 07′ match-up and this 08′ match-up is that the high
