For my post this week, I thought I would write a little bit about BYU football. The past two weeks I've had the awesome opportunity of attending both of BYU's football games. The Cougars had received much criticism prior to the BYU/UCLA football game. BYU had won a very close game against Washington. Many sports analysts believed that Washington was cheated and the game should have gone into overtime. All the sports analysts could talk about regarding BYU prior to the UCLA game was how they didn't deserve the win against Washington and how BYU was an overrated football team.
Since the game in Washington, BYU has been dominating teams. First was against former #23 ranked UCLA where BYU handed UCLA its worst loss in over 79 years. The final score was 59-0. This game was a statement game for the Cougars. The next game was versus Wyoming who was 2-1 going into the game. BYU showed no mercy in this game either shutting out the Cowboys 44-0!
At the beginning of the football stadium, BYU was ranked #16 in the nation. After the game against Wyoming, BYU had moved to the #11 spot. The Cougars are on a mission this year. They want an opportunity to compete in a BCS bowl game. By the way they have playing, BYU definitely has a shot at being in a BCS bowl game and possibly even the national championship game!
