Former BYU star DT Khyiris Tonga (No. 92) bulldozes his way into the backfield for a nice tackle for loss for the Chiefs.

He’s so good.

I didn’t watch GameDay today, but Pat McAfee legit ended the show at Utah telling Ute fans:

“I’ll never see you again, hopefully.”

Wow.

[Hype Train Podcast @thehypetrainpod]

Brother Pat, indeed.

As a BYU fan, I always root against Kyle Willingham's Michigan team.

It has zero to do with emotion or "hate".

It's just logic. Given the ties of UM's coaches to Utah, the less desirable Michigan is to top recruits, the more likely Utah studs will choose BYU.

Justifiable?

A lot of people are predicting No. 2 BYU will lose at UCF.

And the Cougars will lose if they don’t fix these three self-inflicted problems.

My official prediction for Saturday here…

@TheBYUFlash And glorious.

[Diggin’ Brigham @DigginBrigham]

The Big 12 will continue narrowing the gap with the SEC and Big Ten.

BYU and Texas Tech will become the B12’s version of Georgia/Texas and Ohio State/Indiana.

With two “top tier” programs, the Big 12 joins a new Power Three.

As a Big 12 fan, AMEN! Let the SEC and Big Ten feel some CFP pain.

Help them understand what it what BYU experienced last year going 11-1 with their only loss to a Top 10 Texas Tech team and being told, “You now need to win the conference championship to make the CFP.”

[Matt Hayes @MattHayesCFB]

SEC, Big Ten rigged college football for themselves.

Now comes the delicious CFP irony.

For a season, anyway.

As a BYU fan, this is my love letter to the Big 12 conference.

The Big 12 joyfully elevated BYU, and now BYU is joyfully elevating the Big 12...

@ballsofglory19 It’s subjective as to what “great” is, but I stand by it. BYU is 29-4 over the last three seasons. In 2024 they rose as high as No. 6 in the CFP Poll and No. 8 last year. Currently No. 2 in the nation. That’s “great” to me, but I’ll respect your opinion if you disagree.

[Diggin’ Brigham @DigginBrigham]

I have nothing but respect for UCF, but I don’t get why BYU is on upset alert. UCF is good, no doubt, but the Cougs have been great for three years now.

CBS Sports’ Tom Fornelli is on the upset bandwagon…

[Diggin’ Brigham @DigginBrigham]

@court_iorg Yep. BYU is chronically undervalued by the national media.

[Diggin’ Brigham @DigginBrigham]

@brandonhassler Great points.

[Diggin’ Brigham @DigginBrigham]

Man, that neon puke green Monster logo on Big 12 basketball courts is hideous.

Make it white? Okay.

But neon green is awful for viewers. It’s distracting. It’s loud. It’s “in your face”.

Not what I want when watching college hoops. Brett Yormark fumbled this one bad.

[Diggin’ Brigham @DigginBrigham]

@JoshPateCFB Respect, Josh!

[Diggin’ Brigham @DigginBrigham]

@BYUstatsMAN @weeksauce95 Love this! It’s hard, but love the idea.

[Diggin’ Brigham @DigginBrigham]

@JeanineElsholz Brian Santiago isn’t getting enough credit for making this game happen on short notice. Gave BYU the opportunity for a transformative win.

[Diggin’ Brigham @DigginBrigham]

@bsant25_ Boom!

The sleeping giant has awakened.

[Diggin’ Brigham @DigginBrigham]

Here are the three explosive stats that led to BYU's historic win over Notre Dame.

The firecracker stat (a little explosive), the hand grenade (explosive), and the atomic bomb (massively explosive stat).

These three stats popped the most...
