I have refused to watch BSU, except for its victory over the Sooners, so I am ill-informed over its recipe for success. My suspicion is that you have a dominant program, in a very weak league, which plays one big game per year, and is able to pull off a bowl victory through exceptional preparation, a measure of luck, and better athletes than one might suspect.

Does BSU have superior athletes to BYU? Once upon a time, it did not. Or is BSU simply better coached?

The convention wisdom seems to be BYU has inferior athletes but comparable coaching, and that BYU will therefore never compete at the highest level, but that Utah and TCU, and BSU will. IOW, we are condemned to a glass ceiling that nobody else is.
