Quit watching after the pick. Went and made a smoked salted caramel apple pie. That was good.

Interesting interview with Bronco Mendenhall and coaching at BYU. He states the BYU honor code was a positive in almost every way among other things...

Yahoo Sports’ Pat Forde broke down two coaching hires of local interest in a recent article, characterizing Virginia’s hiring of Bronco Mendenhall as a “questionable hire gone right” while BYU's Kalani Sitake was given the grade of “unimaginative hire gone wrong.”
QUESTIONABLE HIRES GONE RIGHT
Bronco Mendenhall (23), Virginia. Record at Virginia: 20-23. ACC record: 10-16.
In the commonwealth of Virginia, Fuente and Mendenhall have performed the gridiron version of the fable of the tortoise and the hare. Fuente sprinted to a fast start but has lost his way, while Mendenhall has resolutely made progress. He seemed like a strange fit after coming from BYU and spending his entire coaching career in the West, but the Cavaliers keep getting better on his watch.
Toss out his 2-10 debut season, rebuilding in the wake of the Mike London Era, and the record looks much better. He’s 18-12 since then, 4-1 this year, and this team might well earn the Cavaliers their first ACC Coastal Division title. Along the way, Mendenhall would be well-advised to beat Virginia Tech for the first time since he came to Charlottesville.
UNIMAGINATIVE HIRES GONE WRONG
Kalani Sitake (30), BYU. Record at BYU: 22-22.
He was a BYU player and a Mormon to boot, so what could go wrong? Well, a few things. Life as an independent isn’t easy, but it probably shouldn’t be as hard as Sitake has made it look the past two-plus seasons. He’s hit some high points — a stunning win at Wisconsin last year, plus victories over USC, Tennessee and Arizona. But there have been losses to East Carolina, UMass, Northern Illinois, and now Toledo last Saturday. BYU’s two wins this season have both come in overtime, and the victory at Tennessee was a certified miracle. The Cougars aren’t too far from being 0-5 at this point.

It's a big win in that is should get BYU into a bowl game which is huge. And the reason it's huge is it gets you two extra weeks of practice that teams use mostly to work with next years team and get a big jump on spring practice.
It also helps in that people will stop referring to you as the shittiest team in Utah.... LMAO...

Interesting game with absolutely no defense. I couldn’t believe how effortlessly the offenses walked up and down the field. Some questionable play calling and officiating if you ask cougar fans. That dump off pass on 3rd and 2 had me scratching my head. Zach Wilson didn’t gain many fans either.
BYU fans are in mourning today, but some still think it was a successful season at 7-6, back to back years.
Very disappointing game. So many things to fix in the off season. But on the bright side, my smoked lobster mac and cheese and smoked turkey I prepared during the game for Christmas day turned out great!
