...in 2001, BYU was undefeated and gunning for a National Championship game. They had the Mountain West officials doing everything they could to keep them in the hunt. However, even though we lost we crippled their star running back and took so much out of them that Hawaii hammered them the next week.
I think BYU will be an independent next year. They won't have referees protecting them. If the Bears' downward trajectory continues, next year's game will look like a Cripple Fight.
