While there might be respect among the coaches and players after the game this Saturday, don't look for any in the stands because, after all, it is BYU. What more needs to be said?

As Utah tries to make the dreams of four years ago into another reality, it's fitting that the one team standing between an 11-0 Utah team and another lucrative bowl appearance is archrival BYU.

With their third championship in as many years on the line, don't expect the Cougars to fall flat Saturday. They still have plenty of weapons, despite the formidable Ute offensive attack.

I'm sorry to say the crown is only big enough for one head this year. Putting the numbers and records aside, Utah is simply the better team.

Since quarterback Brian Johnson's arrival in 2004, Utah has only beaten its archrival once. During that game, Johnson wasn't even on the field.

Faculty members at Brigham Young University have, for the second year in a row, prohibited the staff of BYU's student newspaper, The Daily Universe, from teaming up to create a joint rivalry guide previewing the two schools' annual football matchup.

The Utah men's basketball team is known for its size, with the average player being 6-feet-6-inches, but against Southwest Baptist on Saturday, its size became a disadvantage, as the Bearcats used their speed to beat the Utes on their own floor.

After getting swept on its own court, BYU came to Crimson Court looking for revenge, but the Utes had other plans for the Cougars.

Brian Johnson threw for a career-high five touchdowns on 27-for-38 passing and the No. 7 Utes (11-0, 7-0) earned a share of the Mountain West Conference Championship with a 63-14 throttling of San Diego State.

But heading into the final two weeks of the regular season, his football team's record is and it has a lot to do with what the senior quarterback has been able to do, particularly in the fourth quarter.
