Did anyone else have a UNLV game flashback when... - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

Watkins caught that pass on the last drive, and started running laterally across the field? :shock: Oh man, I had visions of that fumble he had last year against UNLV! Man, that game was nerve racking.

I also found myself expecting BYU to screw up in that final drive. The only question was HOW they would screw up...INT, fumble, etc.? Thankfully they actually came through in the clutch. I find this interesting though. Anyone else react like this? In years past, such as 2001, I would have been very confident in BYU scoring in that last drive.

Sadly, I found myself saying don't fumble, don't fumble. So, yes I was worried too.

Just seems to be the way things are going for the Y the past few years. Instead of finding ways to win, they find a nice way to lose the game.

Not like the good ole' days, when you knew that 3 and 15 was a given and that they would somehow find a way to win.

Here's to last Saturday being the turning of the corner.

That was the exact thing that popped into my mind when I was watching.
