Surprised no one has yet brought up the fact that -- despite the optics of their *loss* last Friday -- the Rocket's only two wins against FBS teams this year were victories over two of the bottom ten teams in the country. Wyoming is BY FAR the best win for either team in 2016.

If we're going to disparage a team's record based on who they've faced, I'd start here.

Carry on.

Welcome Russ!

So the question is: How good (or bad) is BYU?

I actually hate playing these comparison games - good teams play up to their competition, and bad ones play down to lesser teams. This year's team doesn't panic or get down and continues to battle - that's what we need to see Saturday

The website I referenced above have BYU and TOL in adjacent slots. And certainly Friday's game suggest those two teams are about as equal as one could expect.

BYU is ranked #46 in that ranking system.

and MSU was a top 20 team two weeks ago - stuff happens

In any case I'm with you all - Toledo (and BYU) is pretty darn good, but let's not give too much credit before Saturday.

Perfect day for homecoming! I really hope that this great 4-1 start leads to more alumni showing up today and filling the factory. I'm looking for Brogan and Eriksen to have big days and keep the UT offense on the sidelines. Hope to see some of you out in the parking lot before the game!

Marketing has worked HARD for promoting this game. I don't think I've ever seen so much effort put in for any game. Hopefully it pays off.

All I know is there has been a lot of advertisement on campus for the game, and I know a lot of students including myself who will be at the game. So the student section should be pretty nice

Okay, folks, how is tailgating going? :)

Rynearson lot was packed by 12:30. Biggest tailgate crowd i have seen. Hopefully everyone makes it into the game.

Have the Toledo fans shown up yet? :)

Good stand for our defense! Couple big plays by Calhoun. What a player he already is as a frosh.

Indeed that stop was worth 7 points.

Defense doing their job so far. Brogan needs to get it going.

Can we just ditch the wildcat? It never works.

Any score yet?

0-0 with 30 seconds left in the 1st.

Not too shabby.

Our defensive turnaround might be the most improbable, amazing thing I've seen in college sports.

what a bull**** call. Toledo dude clearly creamed his own guy. this is ridiculous.

2nd awful job by these refs. Picked up the flag on an obvious pass interference too. Garbage.
