As far as I'm concerned, the only game that really matters out of the whole football season is the BYU vs. Utah game. Sure it's nice if we win our other games, but if we don't beat Utah, the season is a bust. And even if we were to lose every single other game, but beat Utah, the season would be a success! I know that sounds dramatic, but I'm serious - I really feel that way!
This year it was particularly important that we beat that team up North. It was Roger's last home game as a BYU student, our last game living in P town, and our last chance to storm the field (We'd never done it before... Odd, I know).
Before the game we had our traditional tailgate party with my grandparents. I've been attending them for the last 6 seasons! We also got a cougar tail donut during the game - mmmmmm!
We got a pretty good lead in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, but the U came back in the 4th quarter. At the end of the 4th quarter it was 20-20 and I was NERVOUS! Luckily we were able to get the win in overtime. Final score: 26-23! And you better believe we stormed the field! It was awesome!
Wow - I'm glad BYU came through for you!
