Notre Dame fans called us delusional. BYU won 28–24. We brought the receipts.

After a comment section full of guaranteed blowouts, “with what athletes?” and “BYU wouldn’t score 28 against Notre Dame in two games,” Josh and Nate revisit the predictions that aged spectacularly—and give credit to the Irish fans who came back to own it.

We break down what our BYU–Notre Dame preview got right, from the room for mistakes to the late game-winning touchdown drive. Plus: Bear Bachmeier, the supposed talent gap, Cade Uluave’s enormous defensive play, and Nate finishing ONE POINT away from predicting the exact score.

Then we turn toward UCF: an unbeaten home record, a bye week, and a dangerous road test after an emotional win. Can the Cougars keep rolling?

Notre Dame fans: you said you’d be back. We saved you a seat.

The charge? Making winning football look painfully boring. The defendant? BYU offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick. The jury? You.

After BYU’s win over TCU, Nate brings the case against A-Rod’s conservative play calling, while Josh argues that the results—and his work with Bear Bachmeier—deserve more credit. Is he holding the offense back, or doing exactly what it takes to win?

Plus: Nate makes the case for a home playoff game at LaVell Edwards Stadium OVER a first-round bye, we test our BYU jersey-number knowledge, revisit a Loyal Cougars history fumble, and attempt a BYU Mind Meld with wildly mixed results.

We wrap up with Iowa State score predictions and an update on our season-long prediction contest.
