HALFTIME: BYU 17, New Mexico 7

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…

HALFTIME: BYU 31, Wyoming 0

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.

PREGAME: BYU at Wyoming football

Full disclosure: Because of budget cutbacks and previous travel arrangements, I am not in Laramie today. Jason Franchuk is at the game and I am filing from home. I will watch the game on TV like the rest of you today.

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.

END 1st QUARTER: TCU 14, BYU 0

Well, I think BYU fan's worst fears are being realized right now. TCU has dominated play in the first quarter and the Cougars look like they don't belong on the same field.

How good is Andrew George? Chad Lewis knows

I'm working on a story about Chad Lewis and his new book, "Surround Yourself with Greatness." Besides question on his book, I asked Lewis what he thought about BYU tight ends.

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…
