BYU is in the enviable position of going to bed on Friday night at 5-0, and getting to relax tomorrow while watching all the teams ranked ahead of them sweat it out. https://t.co/5JF4P6STKk

BYU has an exceptional freshman QB. Bear seems to have a level of maturity that is beyond his years.

If you aren’t enjoying BYU football right now, you probably aren’t fanning right. 5-0 is rare. This is an awesome team. The talent and depth BYU has right now is so much better than just a few years ago and the program is only trending ↗️. Don’t take Ws for granted. Enjoy them…
