Friday Night Fight

BYU 35- Utah St. 17

How about some payback for the Cougars. I know we beat USU last year, but they chanted "overrated" after scoring a late touchdown against us. This time their quaint following was silent from the time we scored our first TD to the end of the game. It was great to see our defense play well without forcing a lot of turnovers. The fearless Andrew Rich and Coleby “the claw” grrr Clawson were incredible. Andrew Rich recovered a fumble, made a fourth down stop, and broke up some passes while Coleby Clawson was all over Diondre Borel like a cougar on Dennis Pitta in cougar-town.

The rushing attack was again dominant going for 213 yards. Harvey Unga rushed for over 100 yards. Even Max Hall proved to be a dual threat, at least more so than that horse-man in the shampoo commercials. He ran for 17 yards in addition to his 218 yards passing.

MVP- This week’s superstar was the one, the only Dennis Pitta. I mean who are we kidding? He deserves it every week, but this week he came up large with 2 touchdowns and 83 yards receiving.

Additional notes- Can we please stop with the wave? Is there a more overrated cheer in all of football? What does that do for the team? The short answer (and only necessary answer)...absolutely nothing. Oh and to all you people up on Mt. Pious who feel it appropriate to pass judgment on the older generation who fail to continue the great tradition of the wave as it crosses their section, shame on you! Why should the old folks who come to the games be held to the same standard as the so-called vibrant student section, especially for such a ridiculous and antiquated cheer as the wave? There you have it. My rant has finished and I will now descend from Mt. Pious myself. Thank you.
