Football

Much to Shannon's disappointment, today was a Saturday in September and that means college football.

- BYU looked pretty decent today, for three main reasons. First, they were only -1 on turnovers. While that isn't great, it means you at least haven't killed yourself so badly that you stand no chance. (-2 per game coming in.) Second, 8 penalties for 65 yards. It's a bit sad that this is an improvement, but it was. (Averaging 10 flag for 83 yards) Third, it's AFA, so they didn't throw the ball 40 times. As long as we can play teams that won't throw deep repeatedly, we'll always stand a chance.

- Against Oregon St., AFA, and UNLV, the UofU scored 19 points. Total. Against UCLA (the "11th best" team in the country at the time) they put up 44. Stats haven't been updated with todays games yet, but based on those three outings, Utah would be tied for 118th in scoring offense with Florida International. They would be ahead of only San Jose State and Notre Dame.

- In a related topic, BYU has the inside track on the MWC championship right now, but really, there doesn't seem to be a single team that isn't capable of winning against anyone on a given night. The U can destroy UCLA and then get wiped out by MWC doormat UNLV. AFA handed both Utah and TCU losses, but lost to BYU. What are the odds of every single team ending 4-4 in conference?
