PROVO — If there are any BYU faithful with doubts about Utah State being a worthy rival, that idea is out of touch.
For a very long time, Utah State athletics and its fan base have been fired up about playing BYU. That hasn’t been an equal give and take. It should be, regardless of the series balance.
As an independent, BYU needs Utah State on its schedule. Tom Holmoe has burned up phone and fax lines creating schedules. He’s ridden ESPN connections hard and the cable TV partner has delivered.
So has Utah State.
