I can’t stop watching this clip. LJ runs with so much power, violence, and low pad level, that he’s really difficult to bring down (just ask #9). Congrats to him on eclipsing the 1,000 yd mark this last week as well, all while battling injuries!

Have to give a shoutout to this BYU Defense as well. Cincy was averaging 34 pts/game & the D held them to 14 pts & 4/13 on 3rd down. Last week, TCU came in averaging 32 pts/game & the D held them to 13 pts & 1/10 on 3rd. This BYU defense is elite! Playmakers everywhere.

What a gutsy performance by LJ and Bear, specifically here at the end to put this game away. But a lot of the credit goes to this OLine. They absolutely dominated Cincy’s D in the trenches, similar to last week against TCU. LJ averaged 6.9 yds per rush. Insane.

For how much BYU’s O struggled last week, they were equally as impressive tonight. 7 straight scoring drives. I’ll be honest, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a drive chart like BYU’s tonight.

Texas Tech is averaging 7.9 yds on 1st down. Woof

This BYU Offense is now averaging 1.8 yds per play on 1st down. Playing from behind the chains on every possession.

Not sure BYU could’ve played worse on offense and ST in the 1H. Frankly, even the Defense gave up some big plays that should’ve been avoidable. With all of that, BYU is only down 13-0. This might be Kalani’s biggest moment here to rally the team. Need a spark!

And that is how you rush the QB. I see you Jack Kelly! Morton is obviously still hobbled, keep coming after him!

We have them right where we want them…

40 minutes until game time! Biggest game in BYU history! My key to the game, win the 1st quarter. BYU has to manage the environment and this moment and if they can find a way to be tied (or obviously ahead) after 1Q, I think they settle in and find a way to squeeze this one out

Brutal. Give my guy @BYUGuy87 a follow!

BYU with only 17 attempts from 3. I have to imagine it’s been a while since they attempted that few of 3’s? Didn’t help that they were 29%.

For the record, I wanted this candy gone anyways, but this just felt a little weird with the ski mask and him sprinting away. Oh well, hopefully he gets a stomach ache and 6 cavities.

What happened to just “Take 2 please”? Ha. Why do I feel like I just got robbed? 😂

Record in Big 12 conference play since 2024 1. BYU 12-2 2. Arizona State 10-4 2. Texas Tech 10-4 4. Iowa State 9-5 4. TCU 9-5 6. Baylor 8-6 6. Cincinnati 8-6 6. Colorado 8-6 9. Kansas State 8-7 10. Houston 7-7 11. Kansas 6-8 12. Utah 5-9 12. West Virginia 5-9 14. Arizona 4-10

When there’s a tie, they should just default to the last time both teams played each other to decide who takes the spot!

gave ‘em something to talk about

Getting a little prep in for AFR on Tuesday, and was able to snag a picture of this back angle of Bear’s TD. This is a thing of beauty. Each BYU player in the box has his back to the hole and has their hat on a hat. Bear just has to make the safety miss…

Listening to the crowd get louder and louder as Bear makes each Ute defender miss, and then erupt when he gets into the end zone, give me all the feels!!

Never thought the BYU/Utah rivalry would spill over into whose bookstore was better…But here we are. 9.6 baby!
