Hell no. Utah is a basketball school that caught lightning in a bottle with Urban Meyer. They lucked into a P5 by being the only team the academic snobs would accept after Larry Scott blew his wad by inviting Colorado thinking he had Oklahoma and Texas in the bag. Kyle Whittingham has parlayed that into finishing 5th in the Pac 12 south every year. Utes are pretty much the worst of humanity. They deserve to be cellmates with Lawrence Phillips.

Does anyone realize that there have been Mormon players on the Huskers? not sure how they feel about husker fans saying stuff like this.

Why in the hell do we keep bringing up a person's faith in this thread? Who cares? It does not relate to football and is, quite frankly, inappropriate to speak about in a public forum.
My grandfather told me to never speak of politics or religion when in large groups. I thought everyone knew this. Nobody from BYU brought up their religion in anyway.
We are better than that.

I found this interesting...world beater Taysom Hill's sophomore passing stats.
They look oddly similar to Tommy's sophomore stats.
I've linked to the full stats for both guys. Taysom had a lot more rushing yards but mostly because he had 100 more rushing attempts.

This is a good comparison. I think the "world beater" piece comes from the thought that he does what he does because he doesn't have a lot of help. Where Nebraska typically has better players.I found this interesting...world beater Taysom Hill's sophomore passing stats.

Not defending it but I imagine that is the perception.

So anyway. I think we will have problems containing there QB. That will be the make or break for this game. I expect to see a lot of short pass routes, that will really be planned runs. I think they will try to put this game on his shoulders and will look to use there QB often and early.
This will come down to imho, how hard we hit him and how often. I would like us to make a lot of contact with him early and let him know there is a price for his quick runs. That is the problem with a lot of these college QBs they get a lot of free runs in due to lack of contact, that crap does not fly in the NFL most QBs who try that end up injured in a few years and are worthless.

If this was NCAA, I would try to blitz him early and often, try to take the wind out of his sails. (xbox game) It will be interesting how this game ends up. I hope the black shirts hold, this is a great test. Remember we have Whisky this year. If we cant hold BYU, expect a major blow out to Whisky.
I have a standing offer, from most of my friends to buy season tickets, I have had 3 offers this morning, (got section 612, had a few better ones after I bought those, but is that a sign that people are worried? Or is this just an indicator that football is not the most important thing to some people? One person said too hot to go... -.-)
As to our offense, I have faith in Tommy, if Riley has not tried to re-invent the wheel, we should be consistently put up around 30+ points is my guess.
Trying to rehabilitate this forum to something about football.
As far what Deed said, that was perfect.

Look at his pre-injury numbers last year:
88/132 (66.7%) - 975 yards - 7 TD - 3 INT - 87 rushes - 460 yards - 5.3ypc - 8 TD
Those are really, really, really good numbers.

So you are saying Tommy Armstrong is going to be really, really, really good this year? I like it!

Before the injury to Hill, pardon my pun, but BYU seemed to be on a mission. This is going to be a great first test for the team.I found this interesting...world beater Taysom Hill's sophomore passing stats.

Very good numbers indeed. But, to provide a little context - those stats primarily came against four teams that finished a combined 21-29. And only one of those teams finished the season with a winning record. Texas (6-7), UConn (2-10), Houston (8-5) and Virginia (5-7).I found this interesting...world beater Taysom Hill's sophomore passing stats.
