OHHHH BUMMER! I just listened to the end of the BSU/BYU game. Can you believe it? Matt Payne, the epitome of dependability, our team's MVP. Who would've thought. I hope he's not too hard on himself, because he's still the best kicker in the nation, in my opinion.
Well, after the Notre Dame game, I asked whether you thought the game was a positive or a negative. I'm going to do the same for this game. What do you think, is it going to be a good thing or bad thing for BYU?
The good:
- Best game BYU played all year
- No turnovers, low penalties, few mistakes
- BYU has an offense again!
- Watkins and Collie, you can't guard both and they're both runnin' down the sidelines!
- Beck plays two full games and it finally looks like we have a BYU quarterback again. Is this a return of the legendary Y signal callers?
- The defense snuffed one of the nation's elite offenses
The bad:
- A big blow to Matt Payne's confidence?
- A loss is a loss - we're now 1-3 and facing a big challenge if we want to go to a bowl game
- Is this a big blow to team morale?
It seemed like the game had so many positives. But I know that when I play a game of some sort, and only lose by a point or two, it hurts WAY worse than a blowout because you get so emotionally tied to the game that when it doesn't pan out, it really kills you. Do you think this game will boost Cougar morale or destroy them just before we start conference?
What was your take on the game, Cougar faithful?
