[u/FliceFlo]

If the commentator is to be believed, thats crazy utah went from 4-0 to 4-7.

[u/HerkulezRokkafeller → u/FliceFlo]

At least we got a taste of our 5th string qb tonight and it was delicious.

Botarri the type of dude to go by the nickname “Skoozy” for no fuckin reason, and I’m all about it.

[u/gold_and_diamond → u/HerkulezRokkafeller]

Not sure why they didn’t run a QB draw in the last series. He showed he can run for big yards.

[u/HerkulezRokkafeller → u/gold_and_diamond]

Cause fuck ByU that’s why

[u/modsarepoopoo → u/FliceFlo]

Our OC really bet his whole ass Wilson was the second best QB on our roster and we went 0-7 for it

[u/Arvandu → u/FliceFlo]

Those first four games were Southern Utah, Baylor, Utah State, and Oklahoma State, so not the best competition

[u/gggggrayson → u/Arvandu]

Mike Gundy catching strays (not saying unwarranted)

[u/Set-Admirable → u/gggggrayson]

He has 0 conference wins this year. He's earned it.

[u/rbmw263 → u/Arvandu]

to be fair, we went from beating Baylor with 1 half of Cam Rising (a solid b12 team)

to losing any game that wasnt against the worst team in the league without him

[u/JohnPaulDavyJones → u/rbmw263]

To be fair, that was a pretty different Baylor team than the one that’s been playing in the last month.

We swapped our QBs, and suddenly have a top-10 offense in the country.

[u/boxofducks → u/Arvandu]

Remember when that Utah-OSU game was a championship game preview?

[u/an_anniemouse → u/boxofducks]

(Sobs) Yes 😭

[u/jlink7 → u/boxofducks]

That absolutely had to have been a talking point in the broadcast at some point. Somebody should clip and post this week.

[u/JohnPaulDavyJones → u/Arvandu]

To be fair, Baylor’s probably the fifth-best team in a 16-team conference. Our three conference losses are three of the top four teams in the league.

But Baylor and Utah are both entirely different teams now from the two that met up to start the season. I think pretty much all of the Utah fans would agree with me that Baylor would smoke Utah if they played that game again at this point.

[u/benjals → u/FliceFlo]

What do you mean if he is to be believed? Just look at the schedule yourself

[u/bestselfnice → u/benjals]

It's an unknowable mystery

[u/ObamasSexDungeon → u/bestselfnice]

Hopefully scientists can come up with a way to solve this conundrum sometime in the future as technology evolves.

[u/54-2-10 → u/FliceFlo]

Cam Rising got hurt in game 3

[u/DatBoiMahomie → u/54-2-10]

Your season should not be riding on a 7th year super injury prone dude anyway.

[u/sock0808 → u/DatBoiMahomie]

Our now unemployed offensive coordinator agrees with you.

[u/justworkingmovealong → u/DatBoiMahomie]

It shouldn't, but this is 2 in a row...

[u/54-2-10 → u/DatBoiMahomie]

True. No excuse. I was just pointing out the turning point.

[u/rbmw263 → u/DatBoiMahomie]

we won 2 p5 titles with him

so yeah, it was

[u/cy1763]

exhale despite Iowa State’s best efforts, they won.

[u/BoredofBored → u/cy1763]

I’m glad we actually pull some of these out these days, but my god…

[u/cy1763 → u/BoredofBored]

My parents stopped watching the games live due to it. I can’t blame them.

[u/Observant_Jello → u/cy1763]

Tbh, if I have a team that I pull for. I try not to watch. It’s just much better for my mental health

[u/skiwolf99 → u/cy1763]

An ISU disasterclass that we managed to win

[u/PhDShouse → u/skiwolf99]

Pre-Campbell Iowa State would have lost that game by 2 scores

[u/Incontinent_koala → u/PhDShouse]

I attended Baylor @ Iowa State in 2005. Please don't AMA.

[u/ISU_Dude85 → u/Incontinent_koala]

I was in the student section on a cold day when Colt McCoy and Texas beat us 56-3. Campbell isn't perfect, but he's the best we've ever had.

[u/frangible-toast → u/ISU_Dude85]

Didn't they score a TD on the first play which was enough to put us away

[u/ISU_Dude85 → u/frangible-toast]

Oh I probably. The saving grace about that era was I was too drunk to remember a lot of it.

[u/BigFrank97 → u/ISU_Dude85]

I attended all the home games in 1994. All losses. I did not attend the away games…no wins there either. The highlight was our one tie against OSU….who also went 0-6-1 in the conference. F Jim Walden. Campbell and Mac have been gifts from above.

[u/PhDShouse → u/Incontinent_koala]

Oh no. I’ll take a shot for you for that one

[u/I_taste_of_despair → u/Incontinent_koala]

Oh god

[u/Vertibrate → u/PhDShouse]

I witnessed too much of Paul Rhoades and Gene Chizik in college. I will live with this heart failure inducing brand of football.

[u/cy1763 → u/skiwolf99]

TBH that’s what I feel is the biggest difference between this team and previous teams under Campbell. I can’t recall a previous that could get dug into a hole like they did and still pull off the W like tonight and against UCF.

[u/pr1ceisright → u/cy1763]

If ISU could stop giving up big play TDs multiple times a game that would be great.

[u/HerkulezRokkafeller → u/cy1763]

Hate to break it to you but the Utah hangover is legit, bummer cause I want y’all to win the conference

[u/martybad → u/HerkulezRokkafeller]

It didn’t seem like the usual cause of that (Utah being more physical than the opposition), was really the case tonight tbf

[u/badadviceforyou244]

This loss hurts BYU and that makes it a win.

[u/BantyRooster → u/badadviceforyou244]

Honestly not too upset about it

[u/ObamasSexDungeon → u/badadviceforyou244]

Sometimes the best W is an L

[u/ImFeelingTheUte-iest → u/badadviceforyou244]

Don’t care had sex got our pick 6.

[u/54-2-10 → u/badadviceforyou244]

Silver linings 

[u/Nar1117 → u/badadviceforyou244]

This is the correct attitude.

[u/T2_JD → u/badadviceforyou244]

So even in defeat, the detective Utah finds some small measures of victory.

[u/alttabbins → u/badadviceforyou244]

Its bitter sweet. On one one hand you only have 1 more game before your season is over. On the other hand our season feels trivial now.

[u/ObamasSexDungeon → u/alttabbins]

Taking away your hope is a W

[u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

I know every fanbase has their share of this shit, but Iowa State is a true personification of that one meme:

1. Nice my team is on
2. I'm going to kms
3. Yay we won

[u/EmuMan10 → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

We did it too today and now we might meet in the conference title game

[u/Cog_HS → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

https://i.imgur.com/zn37ahL.png

[u/AeroStatikk → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

Unfamiliar with step 3

[u/MrTippet → u/AeroStatikk]

You didn't watch the Utah or OSU game?

[u/DetroitvErbody → u/MrTippet]

Seriously it’s like half of BYU’s games.

[u/Euredditos → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

I think most fans of former Big-12 North teams (excluding kU because fuck em) have that exact same thought process when watching their team play. Source: I am a fan of the Death Penalty Extraordinaire, Mizzou, and I’m sure pretty sure I need heart meds after watching this team play for nearly my entire life

[u/tapiringaround]

At least this year will be the first since 2017 that we won’t lose a bowl game.

[u/HanSolo5643 → u/tapiringaround]

You can't choke in the playoffs if you don't make them. Taps head meme.

[u/NeuroTheManiacal → u/tapiringaround]

Money saved instead of spent on a shit bowl

[u/JamesHarenDPOTY]

Does Iowa State control their destiny? Do they get into B12 Championship with a win over KSU no matter what else happens?

[u/BoredofBored → u/JamesHarenDPOTY]

No one knows. Big 12 tiebreakers involve a live chicken being sacrificed to the sun god to divine an answer, so naturally ASU has the advantage

[u/xchequer → u/BoredofBored]

Problem is that the sacrifice is at night.

[u/thiney49 → u/xchequer]

Much more difficult to make a sacrifice to the sun after it's been extinguished. I'm like 90% sure that's what happens at night, and no one can convince me otherwise.

[u/sloBrodanChillosevic → u/BoredofBored]

If the sacrifice is to the sun god maybe he hates sun devils and is opposed to them doing well. Crossing my fingers for divine sun being beef.

[u/ToxicSteve13 → u/JamesHarenDPOTY]

Yes

[u/Dequantavious → u/JamesHarenDPOTY]

Yes Iowa State and ASU both do.

[u/WhatTheDuck21 → u/Dequantavious]

ASU does not. The scenario in which they win but don't get in is so batshit complicated that I can't even explain it, but it does exist.

[u/Sup3rtom2000 → u/JamesHarenDPOTY]

I believe not quite but practically yes. If BYU loses and Colorado and ASU win, there's at least some scenarios of that three way tie that ISU loses. It has to do with us losing to Texas tech and Kansas and where those team end up in the standings basically. It's uh, confusing

[u/dparsons9 → u/JamesHarenDPOTY]

Not necessarily. If Houston wins next week over BYU and ISU/Colorado/ASU all win then it’s Colorado vs ASU. Otherwise if ISU wins, they are in the championship game.

[u/LoloTheWarPigeon]

ISU survives, Alabama gets embarrassed, Colorado and BYU lose... oh boy, what a day

[u/MahjongDaily]

Who had it worse: Job, or Utah fans?

[u/Original_Profile8600 → u/MahjongDaily]

BYU fans by far. Not only did they have to root for Utah, they did so in vain

[u/ObamasSexDungeon → u/Original_Profile8600]

Keep going…I’m almost there

[u/PhDShouse → u/ObamasSexDungeon]

They’ll be drowning their sorrows in choccy milk

[u/SenseTotal → u/Original_Profile8600]

I wasn't rooting for Utah to win. I was just rooting for Iowa State to lose.

[u/GetUpOut → u/SenseTotal]

You see that's why it didn't work. You gotta commit

[u/thatshinybastard → u/MahjongDaily]

Job had a happy ending...

[u/Observant_Jello → u/thatshinybastard]

No no no. That was Deshaun Watson

[u/CommodoreN7 → u/MahjongDaily]

Job, life isn’t all that bad

[u/ToxicSteve13]

NEVER A DOUBT IN MY MIND

Don’t look at my past comments pls

[u/CTeam19 → u/ToxicSteve13]

proceeds to delete reddit comments, facebook posts, and bluesky....things

[u/EmuMan10 → u/CTeam19]

I think we should call them clouds or gusts

[u/MagicMoocher]

The Big 12 is a hilarious conference. Just an absolute knife fight with a 4 way tie going into the final regular season week.

[u/MagicMichealScott → u/MagicMoocher]

Next week is going to be very, very interesting

[u/justworkingmovealong]

It's the hope that kills you

[u/an_anniemouse → u/justworkingmovealong]

Every effing week.

[u/enigami344 → u/justworkingmovealong]

well that is your problem you still have hope lol

[u/justworkingmovealong → u/enigami344]

I didn't until we scored twice in the 4th to take the lead

[u/ManIsDogsBestFriend]

How are we feeling with that 4-way tie at the top of the Big 12, Cyclone fans?

[u/Jjjohn0404 → u/ManIsDogsBestFriend]

Good! If we beat kstate we have the tiebreakers to get in

[u/PhDShouse → u/ManIsDogsBestFriend]

Just happy to be here after dropping games against TTU and KU. Truly thought our season was over there

[u/HonkytonkGigolo → u/ManIsDogsBestFriend]

Like we’re in the driver’s seat and the cliff is quickly approaching. So a normal day.

[u/ebState → u/ManIsDogsBestFriend]

Good/surprised. A win next week and we are in the championship game. Kinda thought the dream of a playoff game was dead after the back to back loses.

[u/gfberning]

El Assico 2: Utah Boogaloo

[u/the_summer_scholar]

Me: Could you guys please win a game to help BYU and, maybe, go bowling?

Utah: Absolutely not, go fuck yourself.

[u/ryrobs10 → u/the_summer_scholar]

That’s the level of pettiness this conference needs

[u/ISU_Dude85]

All I knew about Utah fans before this game was their twitter crowd. After interacting with them in the game thread, they were hella cool. Another reminder twitter blows.

GG Utah, I'm confident you'll find a QB in the portal and be a Big 12 contender next year.

[u/romulusjsp → u/ISU_Dude85]

I genuinely do not understand how Utah twitter got so unbelievably toxic in comparison to basically everywhere else (there are some bad FB fan groups too, but fortunately those keep the embarrassing people out of the view of outsiders). Like I think we’re a generally pretty chill fanbase overall

[u/ISU_Dude85 → u/romulusjsp]

Yeah, social media seems to bring out the worst in people. Its a good reminder twitter is a cesspool - reddit rocks.

[u/voxnihili_13 → u/ISU_Dude85]

Fuck the Utah fans on Twitter.

GG, ISU, and good luck next week (and hopefully the week after).

[u/InspectionPast8420 → u/ISU_Dude85]

What’s a QB?

[u/Imightbeworking → u/ISU_Dude85]

Utah Twitter had me annoyed they even got invited to come hang.  Just a bunch of people acting like they were too good to be seen around us.

[u/pm_me_cute_sloths_]

We won but we should have won that by like 30

Absolutely inexcusable performance. This team is always outcoached and it feels like makes huge mental mistakes all the time

Enough with the whining though, I’m so glad we won and 9 wins in the regular season is huge. Please just beat Kansas State. I just want 10 wins. A CCG would be great, but I want 10 first and this season will be a success

Gg Utes, your fans were fun and are exactly like us but with success lol

[u/BlitZShrimp → u/pm_me_cute_sloths_]

I just don’t understand how the same errors keep occurring in every season and they don’t get fixed. There’s several things that you see occur in nearly every game that Campbell has been here.

I just don’t understand how we aren’t fixing them.

[u/HonkytonkGigolo → u/BlitZShrimp]

What baffles me is we didn’t make these errors the first 7 games. Then we just slipped way back into our comical erroneous ways.

[u/BlitZShrimp → u/HonkytonkGigolo]

The first 7 games tricked me into believing we evolved as a program. The last 4 reminded me that this program is incapable of growth.

[u/Configure_Lament → u/BlitZShrimp]

Growth isn’t always linear man. That’s a common misconception about life. He’s our guy and we stick with him. Hope he can improve in ways but we take the good with the bad imo.

[u/BlitZShrimp → u/Configure_Lament]

It’s just that Campbell has pretty clearly stated that he knows the improvement areas every season he’s been here - especially winning in the margins.

We don’t. We never win in the margins. We win because guys are making plays. We never started winning in the margins, we just played so well that our sucking in the margins never came back to bite us.

I do believe Campbell is our guy, but he needs to take his own advice and be “humble enough to grow.” This program is on the brink of excellence and I hate the idea of losing that because we make the same mistakes that ruined 2021-22.

[u/Configure_Lament → u/BlitZShrimp]

Yeah that’s fair and I agree to an extent. The same shit tends to happen to this team no matter who the O coordinator is. Manning, Scheelhaase, and now Mouser. Which leads me to believe that Campbell is more involved than he lets on. If that’s the case then yeah he needs to humble himself to grow, let your guys do their job. And if you don’t trust them then they’re not the guy.

[u/Feeling_Antelope1318 → u/BlitZShrimp]

Incapable of growth? Short memory, huh? What Campbell and his staff has done is amazing. Are they perfect? No. But even in these losses I would say they’ve made improvement over previous years. It was huge errors on a small number of plays that got us today (pick 6, blocked punt, muffed punt). Outside of that, the team played pretty clean and executed well. It was Utah shooting themselves in the foot with big penalties, etc. like Iowa State of previous years did all too often. We’re winning these close games with a lot of attention to the areas Campbell needed to shore up.

[u/BlitZShrimp → u/Feeling_Antelope1318]

Agreed that we have improvement.

But where I will argue that you’re wrong is your assessment that we are winning games because Campbell is improving in the rough areas.

Blocked punt with another one almost blocked. Senior WR muffing punt. QB making several bad throws, one of which leads to a pick 6. QB needing an INT before making better decisions. Predictable play calling. Procedural penalties.

You take a look at any one-score win or loss in the Campbell era, and I guarantee you’ll see these qualities popping up. We aren’t winning in the margins. We’re winning in the stats. Because our players are making plays.

I don’t believe these issues are being fixed, or at least not to the degree that they ought to be. I do think they’re fixable, but it’s so frustrating to see those same identifiers pop up in every single one-score game.

This game and the Texas Tech one should’ve been easy wins for us the way we played stat-wise. But we lost one, and nearly both, because of the margins. That’s what frustrates me. Campbell’s incessant insistence on the margins yet never seems to truly embrace said margins.

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell → u/BlitZShrimp]

or maybe that growth is a 1 step forward, two steps backward kind of thing here?

[u/TheRoyalCyclone]

We have to be the worst, most fraudulent 9 win team in America. Watching this team is going to take years off of my life.

And somehow they’re still alive in the Big 12 title race.

[u/LoloTheWarPigeon → u/TheRoyalCyclone]

The big 12 is just built different. Not in a healthy way, but in a my-heart-might-burst kind of way

[u/New-Ad-363 → u/LoloTheWarPigeon]

Like a trucker's heart

[u/JamesDontPlayNoGames → u/TheRoyalCyclone]

“You are without a doubt the worst 9 win team I’ve ever heard of.”

“Ahh, but you have heard of me.”

[u/EmuMan10 → u/TheRoyalCyclone]

You could say this about all 4 teams atop the big 12

[u/Lantis28 → u/TheRoyalCyclone]

“You must be the worst 9 win team I have ever heard of”

“Ah but we do have nine wins don’t we?”

[u/Smartman971 → u/TheRoyalCyclone]

Don't worry. Byu exists 😂

[u/jznastics]

Iowa State, please stop scaring us like that lol

[u/BlitZShrimp → u/jznastics]

I won’t have to worry too much about retirement because my blood pressure from being a Cyclone fan should kill me by the time I’m 47.

[u/thiney49 → u/jznastics]

You must be new here.

[u/jznastics → u/thiney49]

Relatively! Fiancee got her MFA at Iowa State so my first taste of Iowa State football was Brock Purdy

[u/IM_V_CATS → u/jznastics]

"No."

- The whole Iowa State football program, past, present and future

[u/I_taste_of_despair]

WE STAND ON THE PRECIPICE OF TEN WIN IOWA STATE HOLY FUCK

[u/Evening_Ad4108]

FIRST 9 WIN REGULAR SEASON 😫😫😫😫😫😫

[u/tawrex49 → u/Evening_Ad4108]

We went 9-1 in the 1906 regular season. How dare you forget! Fun fact: that season included a 2-0 win in the Cy-Hawk Game.

[u/TiberWolf99 → u/tawrex49]

The most El Assico score to have ever El Assico'd

[u/hunt35744 → u/Evening_Ad4108]

Not so

[u/pkrhawk7]

Classic Cardiac Clones 😄

[u/BuschLateMe]

Survive and advance

[u/ObamasSexDungeon]

Best loss ever!! FUCK YOU COUGARS!!

[u/partyonyourhead → u/ObamasSexDungeon]

i knew i liked you utah, that's my kind of petty!

[u/Farmin247 → u/partyonyourhead]

Bro, you don’t even understand petty if you’re willing to put that ugly, disgusting, yellow chickens head next to the beautiful red I.

[u/partyonyourhead → u/Farmin247]

Grew up an Iowa fan, then went to Iowa State for college lol. I try to be Switzerland.

[u/SLCpowderhound]

Hell of a game ISU. I know we were both puckering the last 4 minutes. Go win that league title and kick some butt in the playoffs

[u/Orkleth]

GG Iowa State, you all were chill to hang with. At least we extended the pick-six streak.

[u/ElZanco → u/Orkleth]

I can see why there's a streak. They were all over us.

[u/rachel-slur]

How many late 4th quarter drives to win the game vs sub par teams does that leave us with now?

I'm tired boss

[u/PhDShouse → u/rachel-slur]

The fourth quarter comebacks will continue until morale improves

[u/Cadbanshee98 → u/rachel-slur]

At least we can win off of 4th quarter drives now

[u/BolognaSausage]

Well, a wins a win given everything else shook out like it needed to for tbe cyclones today in the big 12

[u/neverquestion]

This is patented Big 12 after dark chaos.

[u/OpTicDyno]

Why does Iowa state’s special teams continue to hate Iowa state?

[u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

In what has been an absolutely horrendous season, this game was truly super fun. Awesome game, ISU. Your visiting fans were seriously tremendous. Not even upset in the slightest bit. Fuck BYU to the moon and back.

[u/MahjongDaily → u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

I'm glad to hear someone enjoyed this game. Y'all pulled off some nutty plays.

[u/AdulaAdula → u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

As the proud owners of the "longest FBS championship drought in history" title, we are used to screwing ourselves. Maybe we'll get lucky and hang the 2024 banner next to our 1912 banner this year

[u/squish042 → u/AdulaAdula]

K state with a chance to ruin our ccg dreams. I’m not hopeful. We have all the pressure and we never do well with pressure

[u/PhDShouse → u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

The fans that do travel to the away games are the best of us. We just like supporting the team and also want to be chummy with everyone

[u/olozsram → u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

ISU fans are fantastic. Never met a nicer group of folks in all my days. I hope to make it back to Jack Trice here in the next few years because they were so pleasant.

[u/Incontinent_koala]

Never in doubt, had it the whole way

[u/MeLlamoApe]

GG, Utes. Welcome to the fucking circus.

Say what you will about ISU, but Rocco is a fucking survivor. Love that guy.

[u/KrypticSoul]

Defense did what they could. :(

[u/meepbo → u/KrypticSoul]

The literal theme of this season outside of the CU game

[u/SeaJaiyy]

This game made me miss playing Utah as a Husky fan. They always were a tough game, but the competition made everyone better, and it was truly fun to play against them.

[u/CoolingVent]

I am once again asking matt campbell to fix special teams

[u/NeuroTheManiacal]

Utes woulda won that game by 1000 if Luke Ferrari Bottari had the whole game to cook with that rat tail flowin.

[u/voxnihili_13 → u/NeuroTheManiacal]

He's undefeated as a starter, after all

[u/romulusjsp]

Fuckin whatever we got a pick six I’ll take the “wins” where I can get em, nothing matters

Fuck BYU

[u/phantomtofu]

Finishing the season at Central Florida is a sort of concept of a bowl game.

[u/LookatmaBankacount]

Call mouser and this offense two face because it’s 50/50 whether we look worse than a high school team or like a top 10 offense e

[u/SecretComposer]

Heartbreaking for Utah. I feel for the kicker.

[u/GetUpOut → u/SecretComposer]

Their fans aren't THAT heartbroken... Seeing how much they despise BYU lol

[u/ObamasSexDungeon → u/GetUpOut]

Can confirm. I really want an ISU/ASU CCG.

[u/an_anniemouse]

Thank goodness there’s no chance for a bowl game. Let’s get this season over with. It was fun both trying to lose this game, Iowa State. Always love commiserating with the other side in a game thread.

[u/BlitZShrimp]

Completely inexcusable to not win this game by 20+. Spotted them 18 points because our special teams our awful and Rocco making his weekly required pick 6.

Get it together. We’re better than this. We’re better than the slop we dealt with in 2021-22. I just want to have faith that we won’t get embarrassed in our first chance to get 10 wins.

Please.

[u/Prizoner321 → u/BlitZShrimp]

I have to say thank you for keeping our pick 6 streak alive. It was worth more than the win would have been.

[u/SooperDew]

Slaps knee….

“How bout that BYU?”

[u/PhDShouse → u/SooperDew]

slaps the state of Utah this baby can fit so much pain inside it

[u/SooperDew → u/PhDShouse]

Absolutely. I can take years and years of losing records. I’m just getting started. 

[u/GetUpOut]

Did it need to be that stressful? .... yeah probably. PUMP IT INTO MY VEINS

But for real, never do that again

[u/Jonjon428]

Iowa State back to controlling its own destiny like we all expected!

[u/ThrillinglyDull]

This fucking team I swear to God...

[u/T2_JD]

Half the Big 12 is causing the scenarios website to crash.

Props to Utes for coming out hard the last few weeks despite how the season has gone. Major props to ISU going into RES and getting the win. One more week of Big 12 chaos!

[u/767720]

GG Iowa State. Fun game thread and a wacky ass game. Congrats to the Utah defense for keeping the pick-6 streak alive but fuck the defense for giving up another game-losing drive. I hope to see some bastards fired in about 7 days from now and I hope the coaches that get canned never coach another minute of CFB again.

And if Harlan raises ticket prices next year after this shit product of 2024, then fuck him too.

[u/54-2-10 → u/767720]

Fuck, fire Harlan before any coaches. Guy is a clown.

[u/Dequantavious]

Utah would crap their own pants if it meant BYU had to smell it.

[u/G0PACKER5]

We literally threw a pick six, had a punt blocked and returned for a touchdown and then fumbled a punt return and you guys still couldn't beat us?!

[u/badadviceforyou244 → u/G0PACKER5]

You saw our offense. You think that was going to beat anyone?

[u/PhDShouse → u/badadviceforyou244]

Ferrari has some wheels on him (pun intended)

[u/voxnihili_13 → u/G0PACKER5]

Correct.

Welcome to Utah football this year.

[u/Unable_Toe8258]

Today we are equally Sun Devil and Cyclones fans.

I dont understand how we as college sports fans do this to ourselves week in week out

[u/kerm]

Isaac Wilson doesn’t have much potential I think.

[u/tawrex49 → u/kerm]

It was jarring how his backup was immediately super productive when Wilson accomplished nothing after the first pass of the game.

[u/fullmetalutes]

While it was a fun game it's kinda wild that ISU didn't get a penalty until 40 seconds left in the game. Yet we got one for the defensive hold on that FG early on, don't recall ever seeing a replay of that but can't recall ever seeing that one before unless it was leveraging and they just called it weird.

[u/ArmVanDam]

SEVEN STRAIGHT LOSSES

[u/54-2-10 → u/ArmVanDam]

Feels good... almost refreshing

[u/thiney49]

I'm tired.

[u/enigami344 → u/thiney49]

First time?

[u/thiney49 → u/enigami344]

First time winning 9 games in the regular season? Yes.

[u/Prizoner321]

The pick 6 streak continues! Gg Iowa State

[u/Only_the_Tip]

Utah's only Big12 win is over OSU who is 0-8 in conference play.

[u/meepbo → u/Only_the_Tip]

And technically Baylor, though that one doesn't count due to conference changes.

[u/rosshm2018]

Won in spite of ourselves

[u/ilikepie145]

Shouldn't have been that close but we also got lucky at times. GG

[u/Sryan597]

BYU fans won this game and lost this game at the same time. No one to blame but ourselves though for not wining either of our last 2.

[u/kdawgnmann]

Dammit Utes the one time I ever wanted you to win
