REVERSING THE MAX HALL CURSE: Why one BYU fan loves Utah

It’s time to end Utah’s run of five straight victories over BYU. In order to do so, I’m going to embrace my love for the University of Utah and their gracious fan base.

It’s rivalry week.

It still feels terribly strange saying that because we’re only in the second week of the season and we’re still enjoying the warm embrace of having football back in our lives. Now, just a few short days into this promising season, we have to play our longstanding rival and deal with all of the hullabaloo that goes along with it.

The most difficult realization for us BYU fans is that we haven’t beaten Utah since 2009 when Max Hall connected with Andrew George for a thrilling overtime victory.
