Asked which single game over the last two seasons legitimized BYU within the Big 12, Deseret News beat writer Jay Drew doesn't hesitate: last year's win over Utah. Drew points out that Utah lost only two games all season — to BYU and to Texas Tech — and while he admits it might be recency bias, he calls the win "absolutely huge" for how it positioned BYU in the conference.
