Best quotes from the rivalry

Sticks and stones can break your bones, and words in the BYU-Utah rivalry game can definitely hurt you.

Since 1922 the rivalry has brought some memorable moments and even more memorable quotes.

Here are some of the best and worst quotes from both sides:

“The hatred between BYU and Utah is nothing compared to what it will be. It will be a crusade to beat BYU from now on.”

Wayne Howard
Former Utah coach

 

“It was just as easy as it looked. It was like we were running against air. Their defense didn’t seem to be there.”

Fred Whittingham
Former BYU running back

 

“All those guys think that’s all there is to life. But when I’m making $50–60,000 a year, they’ll be pumping my gas. They’re low-class losers.”

Lenny Gomes
Former BYU nose guard

 

“I wouldn’t say it was lucky. Obviously, when you’re doing what’s right on and off the field, I think the Lord steps in and plays a part in it. Magic happens.”

Austin Collie
Former wide receiver

 

“Even our cheerleaders are kicking [BYU’s] butt.”

Steve Smith
Former Ute wide receiver

You got that mixed up a bit. Austin Collie never made a comment about the cheerleaders
