    Why the fuck did BYU not take a timeout when there was 2:40 on the clock?

    I have yet to see a college coach who has planned around the 2-minute stoppage well. You don’t have any friends in Shieldball to call up for a quick 10-minute tutorial on the ins and outs?

    God (and the officials) smiles on the Mormons.

    I assume the getaway van for the officials has already had its tires slashed twice over.

    Never really got a clear look at that fourth down holding penalty on Utah. Whittingham was still irate about it as the game ended.

    The one replay they showed was from space, but the announcer said it was pretty obvious. So I guess it was legit as long as you weren't wearing red?
    I'm sure that play and game will get a nickname, though, especially if BYU wins the Big 12 or more.

    He (Brock Osweiler) said that about a couple of other "penalties" that were shady as hell with better replays. It's his go-to line: the penalty was obvious. They called another holding penalty on the Utah tight end who just stuck out his arm as the rusher was going past him. Osweiler said that one was obvious, too. It was not.

    That’s going to cost them the equivalent of a backup safety.

    Now that I think about it, this might be the key to ending field rushes, court storming and debris showers. Put the potential fine amount on the video board and explain that cuts down the NIL budget accordingly.
