Question for Black Diamond Bay

My text is this rather well done (surprise surprise) post from Cali:

BYU literally had 2 days of preparation time for TCU. That is nothing. Maybe BYU loses anyways, but it is hard to think it didn't have any effect at all.

Now, referring to your (BDB's) assertions after the Utah game last year that God intervened on BYU's behalf because BYU lived more righteously than Utah, how do you explain no reward for BYU refusing to practice on Sunday?
