Gordon Monson: Something devilish and delightful is happening with BYU’s football season
In a game during which BYU made a thousand mistakes — or was it two thousand? — from dropped balls to sloppy assignments and jumpy coverages to missed tackles to careless turnovers to giving up 269 rushing yards to silly play-calls, it went ahead and took victory it had no business taking.And that’s why everyone should know, this is a devilishly unholy season for BYU , in the best sense. The Cougars are dangerous.
The count went … 7-zip, BYU; 7-7; 14-7, BYU; 14-14; 14-21, OK State; 21-21; 28-21, BYU; 28-28; 31-28, BYU; 31-35, OK State; and then … Brigham Young Cougars wide receiver Keelan Marion scores a touchdown during the game between the BYU and the Oklahoma State Cowboys in Provo on Friday, Oct. 18, 2024.
Here’s a truth, then, BYU seems to be understanding seven games into its rather remarkable 2024 football season: Being unbeaten does not mean it’s unbeatable. I asked Sitake how that bridge was built, and he offered the kind of answer a coach would: “They believe because they put the work in.” The student section gets loud as they cheer on the Brigham Young Cougars playing the Oklahoma State Cowboys in Provo on Friday, Oct. 18, 2024.
