Yep. Football is back. That's been made painfully clear to Portland State, as BYU absolutely obliterated the overmatched FCS school in the season-opening contest to the tune of 69-0. A good, old-fashioned drubbing.
Bear Bachmeier looked great. LJ Martin led the running game with literal tree trunks attached to his hips. Jack Kelly scored a special teams touchdown. You, the reader, ran for more yards while glued to your recliner than Portland State managed in 60 minutes of competition with the white and blue.
The start of a football season is plagued with anxiety, worry, and fear that any positive expectations would soon be met with disappointment, regret, and a doomsday mindset palpable enough to occupy your therapist for at least three one-hour sessions. Well today, you can hang up on your mental health care provider, because at least for the moment, being a BYU football fan should fill your mind with bliss.
Squaring up with the Cougars for this upcoming week two matchup are the Stanford Cardinal, a team that hasn't been anywhere near competent for years and sits lined up for a brutal collision with a borderline top-25 squad.
