Take a bow, Cougars
Thursday night's win over TCU was by far John Beck's best performance in four years as a BYU quarterback.
Everything he hasn't been, he was against the Horned Frogs.
Playing on bad ankles, he displayed a touch that should give BYU fans hope for the program's first conference championship since 2001. Several times he had to put the ball right over a defender rather than try to rifle something in there.
And he was also a leader, showing a tremendous amount of poise. As usual, he handled the postgame press stuff with class.
Another player might have been tempted to show a little attitude, but Beck was as gracious as ever. His cooperation is appreciated by all the media members. He's been a jewel to deal with all four years.

What kind of person uses the word "jewel" to describe his relationship with a football player?
5-0 or even 4-1 would be better. This is the best BYU team since 2001, and possibly 1996. But they could not close the deal until last night. Missed chances may hurt them nationally, but winning the conference and beating the Utes would still be sweet!!
Glad Beck got that signature win. Maybe now with the weight of the world off his back, he can play more relaxed and with greater confidence to just get it done. And the Cougs have a D this year to be proud of. They force turnovers and make plays, unlike last year, and many of the past few years. And only giving up 17 points a game is AWESOME!
"Broncos Hand Utes Worst Home Loss in 17 Years"
This has got to be my favorite headline of the season.
Can't wait for the headline when it reads:
"Bronco hands Utah Tough loss. No bowl game this year for Utes".
PRICELESS
