In 79 days BYU Football will take the field to play rival Utah in the first ever Holy War on opening weekend.

Last night we saw the Golden State Warriors stay alive in the NBA Finals. The game seemed theirs the entire game until late in the 4th quarter when Toronto, and more in particular Kawhi Leonard took over.

With just 2:33 seconds left in the game,  the Raptors were leading 103-97 with all the momentum, at home, and on the cusp of winning their first ever championship. The Warriors however did not give up and they fought back and over the next 1:36 seconds, they went on a 9-0 run to retake the lead and they never looked back.

It was honestly one of the be

st NBA basketball games I have ever watched, and it reminded me of one of, if not the best BYU Football comeback I ever watched and a game that was very similar to what happened last night in the NBA Finals. Today’s player at No. 79 was at that game and made an impact to help the Cougars win.
