Unfortunately utah has a sports curse and this game is the perfect type of game for it to rear its ugly head

Like when BYU beat #1 Miami in Provo, or when they beat #13 Texas A&M in Provo, or when they beat #15 Texas in Provo so bad that the defensive coordinator got fired the next day.

Michael Jordan brought the curse and it was a 5-7 Charlie Strong Texas team we whooped (still really fun, but far from the #1 Miami win)

I am getting vibes of the Max Hall BYU team that beat UCLA at home like 56-0 and was ranked like #12 and then got embarrassed by a mediocre 6-6 FSU the next week like 54-28 where we never even competed.

If it cursed the whole state what about Utah being a BCS buster twice as well as going to the Rose Bowl? Give me a break with the self-flagellation
