This week, Dave and Blaine recap BYU’s thrilling 22-21 victory over Utah, securing a second straight win against the Utes and marking BYU’s first win in Salt Lake since 2006. We highlight BYU's strong second-half performance, shutting out Utah and outscoring them 12-0 to seal the comeback. Key moments included three successful field goals by Will Ferrin and a final drive led by Jake Retzlaff that culminated in Ferrin’s game-winning 44-yard field goal.

The episode also covers Utah Athletic Director Mark Harlan’s critical comments on the officiating, particularly the defensive holding call that set up BYU’s winning field goal. Harlan’s statements led to a $40,000 fine and public reprimand from the Big 12. We discuss the importance of sportsmanship, noting the launch of the “Rival Right” campaign, which encourages respectful competition.

Looking ahead, we preview BYU’s upcoming matchup with Kansas, detailing key players, the game’s high stakes, and Blaine’s strategies for another Cougar victory.

The show also includes a guest appearance by Val Hale, former BYU Athletic Director, who discusses his new book, Out of the Blue, and shares memories of his time at BYU, including insights into the College Football Playoff race and BYU Basketball's promising season.
