PRE-GAME: BYU at New Mexico
Arrived in Albuquerque on Friday. That evening got together with Dick Harmon and Jeff Call (Des News), Doug Martin, Ralph Sokolowsky and Mark Lyons (KSL radio) at Coaches Sports Grill to watch BYU-Bradley last night. My take? Michael Loyd Jr. saved the game by coming off the bench and hit…

BYU came out executing and has put Wyoming away pretty early. At one point, BYU had 358 total yards to Wyoming's 25. Max Hall is 16 of 17 for 265 yards and three touchdowns. BYU has been able to run the ball (Unga has 66 yards) and pretty much run its offense perfectly.

FINAL: TCU 38, BYU 7
I found it interesting in the post-game that BYU players and coaches gave a ton of credit to TCU. That's not unusual, but it's one of the few times I think they meant it.

END OF 1st HALF: TCU 21, BYU 7
BYU managed to get a touchdown on the board to pull within two scores at halftime. The difference on that drive was that Max Hall actually started throwing to receivers. For most of the half, he looked like he didn't have anybody open. It looks like there's some openings out there.

FINAL: BYU 38, San Diego State 28
BYU survived because it is a better football team than San Diego State, but the Aztecs used their bye week well. There were some offensive wrinkles and they were ready. But BYU's offense was up to the task. They were very efficient, didn't turn the ball over and converted on third downs. …

END 3rd Quarter: BYU 28, San Diego State 21
While BYU continues to give up huge chunks of yardage, the Cougars are wearing the Aztecs out with long, sustained drives. This will be a key factor in the fourth quarter. All four of BYU's drives have been more than 10 plays and even though SDSU is playing well against the run, it has go…
