All I said was. frankly, the Utes arc in. And they were. But they fumbled themselves out again. Who is to guess Utah and BYU would trade the ball back and forth 14 times on scrimmage plays and Utah would pass four interceptions. These interceptions were not just miraculous steals. They were braided right in the enemy breadbasket. But ihen whats past is only indicative of the crazy things which could happen this week. BYU stands best to take the title if Arizona State blows it. Im bushleague fool enough to predict there is no way Arizona State can lose to Arizona, or come as close as 25 points. Yet Arizona State might. This week you can predict any way it pleases you. Arizona could win if it wins and BYU and Utah loses, for instance. But find anyone guessing that one. Utah has chance if ASU and BYU lose. That's a a long shot, too. Not That Much Talent flatters us bushleague fools is that some man and his wife, feel Utah lost the championa fans, we surreptitiously laid the psychological because ship ' BYU to win. for trap What to be that clever. And you could build quite a bungalow on the benefits. But boobish as we may be, this rivalry is a great one and may it always be, fumble, stumble or grumble.

But neither has an insurmountable lead in either category. Adams' is averaging 290.6 yards per game to 278.4 for Strock over the first nine game's this season. To catch the Utah State ace, Strock would have to gain 123 more yards against Wake Forest Saturday than Adams gains against Weber State.
