What did this mean for BYU?
What does it mean for the Big 12?
It meant everything.
I mean, it meant a lot for the program itself,
which had been so close to kind of getting one of these moments before,
knocking off one of those top teams,
saying that they are a national title contender.
This was a great way to announce that this season
and to do it against Notre Dame.
There was a lot put into this game.
I mean, the school itself, you know,
they understood the moment that this was
in terms of having the first ever top 10 showdown
there at Lavelle Edwards Stadium.
but also understanding there's a lot of media attention in there.
Massive win for BYU.
Gives them a little bit of leeway
in a pretty loaded Big 12 at this point
with two other undefeateds and the Holy
War coming up here in a couple weeks.
So massive for them, massive for the Big 12,
because you can now see a path, certainly,
to get two teams in the playoff,
which was kind of their conference's stated goal.
