Statement Made!

For those who were doubting BYU before today, I'd say you can consider today a statement game. BYU took on UCLA and embarrassed them. BYU wins 59 to 0!! Are you kidding me? That score looks like a joke! It's defenitly not a joke. BYU went into this game to make a statement and show the country that they are one of the elite teams in the county. As I sat in the stands with my dad and two brothers, we almost couldn't believe what we were seeing. I think we all had an idea of how good BYU could play but I don't think we would have ever imagined such dominance. I mean, BYU had the football game won early in the second quarter.

The football game ended nearly 5 hours ago and the publicity that BYU is getting on ESPN and other sports networks is crazy. Last week they were getting a lot of publicity becuase everyone was doubting them and the "judgment" call that was made. It's great to see BYU come out with such determination and physicallity. UCLA has an athletic team but BYU was better prepared mentally for this game. It was clear from the first series where BYU forced UCLA to go three and out and then drove the length of the field for their first touchdown.

I will be writing more about the cougar win within the next couple of days but for now I think it does it justice to simply say:
STATEMENT MADE!! GO COUGARS!

I was just watching a pre-season interview with a sports caster about the pre-season rankings. After being asked if he thought BYU was going to be a BCS Buster, he responded with something along the lines of "I think BYU's true colors will come out when they have to play UCLA". Of course by the way he said it, I think he meant they would lose. :) Oh, how I love the irony. True colors indeed.

I don't think a lot of people (other than BYU fans) gave BYU the credit they clearly deserve. I'm still not sure if BYU is a BCS buster or not but they certainly proved themselves on Saturday. Hopefully with this win, people will start recognizing BYU as one of the top teams in the country.
