Well. That’s pretty much what everyone expected on this season-opening night at LaVell Edwards Stadium, right?
Utah beating BYU, again, for the ninth straight go-round, this time by the count of 30-12. Not even Mother Nature could prevent the inevitable thing, in the form of a lightning storm. All that did was delay/prolong the Cougars’ misery.
No big surprise. A blind man could have seen this result coming. And, sure enough, it rolled in like thunder.
It happened on the backs of Utah’s defense, which scored two touchdowns, on two pick-six’s, and controlled the game.
In doing so, they did not necessarily look like the comprehensively formidable outfit so many had predicted them to be.
