BYU 18 Arizona 16
The last two minutes of this game were fun. The rest of the game, in spite of being a defensive chess match from two programs known for scoring lots of points, was interesting. It wasn't exactly a punt fest. There was a lot of deliberate action by both teams. Clearly, the Bronco Mendenhall era is gone in Provo and fans will be happy that there is no more go fast go hard. No more 3 and out in 15 seconds. Arizona fans should also be happy not to see that either. The points will come as the season moves on.
BYU MVP: RB Jamaal Williams
Utah 24 Southern Utah 0
This is probably not the way that Utah wanted to start the season. (See the above photo.) I think that opening with an FCS program, and having your big rivals come to town next week probably made it a little bit difficult for KW and his staff to motivate the team. That happens to the best of programs. No need to panic. Utah will be ready for BYU next week. Besides, I think the defense WAS ready for the Thunderbirds. In spite of a bad showing on offense, the Utes still had twice as much everything as the T-Birds.
Utah MVP: S Marcus Williams
Southern Utah MVP: None Chosen
Utah State 45 Weber State 6
At least the score wasn't 70-0, for those of you remember that game from 3 years ago. The Weber State defense was gobbled up by the Aggie offense. Again, this is FBS vs FCS, and you are not exactly comparing the same caliber of athletes. If WSU players could run with USU players, they would be at USU. (Again, that is Captain Obvious speaking). However, it was probably much more of a learning experience for the Wildcats, who has some weaknesses exposed, and know what they need to fix to be ready for the rest of the season. We will have to wait another week for USU to know that.
USU MVP: RB Devante Mays
WSU MVP: RB Treshawn Garrett
