Just coming here to point out that one of their better teams in recent years lost to Drew Pyne.

Sir, this is a ND thread made to talk shit about BYU.

I'll second, it's been fun to listen to. Some know what's going on, others are pure vibes.

Can't wait to stand and cheer in a sea of blue

One of the reasons I prefer away games.

Anecdotal, I know, but the BYU fans at ND in 2012 were the most insufferable group I’ve ever been subjected to in ND Stadium. Just an execrable amalgamation of delusion, self-righteousness, disregard for personal space, lobotomized smiles, an apparent ignorance of birth control, etc. Sat behind Tyler Eiffert’s aunt and she was beside herself.

These folks not just believe, but organize their lives around, perhaps the dumbest shit ever put in writing—“chloroform in print” as Mark Twain famously described the doctrine. Is it any wonder their message board commenters have that kind of shit clanging around in their heads?

Really looking forward to this game.

Have some sympathy. Years of soaking until marriage would make you insufferable too.

This BYU team seems to be pictured as being an offensive tough guy team, emphasizing power running.

If that's true, and passing is a lesser threat, and we have the best shutdown DBs in the nation, do we not man-up on the receivers and stack the box? Even run blitz a bunch? Where is the sudden offense threat from BYU coming from? Do they not have to grind?

It'd be nice to have 2 transitive conference titles if this happens and Miami/SMU win the ACC

Run the gamut with Navy, Arkansas, and Sparty winning their respective conferences

I don’t think it’ll be that simple. Their QB was a true frosh last year and wasn’t fed much of the playbook as he just arrived on campus & was thrust into the starter’s role. Their beat writers were told this by the OC/QB coach. They’re excited of the dual threat he brings this season now that he’s had time to absorb the entire playbook.

Their offense is going to look very similar to our Riley Leonard offense

BYU AD Brian Santiago wants to add games against Notre Dame

We're seeing BYU battle Notre Dame in football the next two years, but we may see even more matchups in the future, per AD Brian Santiago.

Brice is also being told this is trending towards a 3:30 EST kickoff

I don't see BYU getting past Texas Tech.

Even with Sorsby out, Tech could have Nate Montana at QB and they'd still beat them 20-3, because BYU's offense gets stonewalled by Tech's defense.

another example of how conferences are too big. ND plays BYU but TTU does not. What does Joey McGuire say to that? But u could be right, it should be a good B12 conference championship game
