I foresee a flashback for BYU vs. Utah [9.12.11]

First of all, what would you call flashback via premonition, or reliving the horrors of a past event before the future triggering event has even occurred? Because I'm getting whiffs of it now with the BYU vs. Utah game looming. My freshman year, the 2003-04 season, I arrived at BYU just after what would end up being BYU's only win (Georgia Tech, 24-13) at LaVell Edwards Stadium that season. The season fittingly ended with the most boring game I've ever attended: Utah's 3-0 victory, sealed by a 41-yard field goal at the end of the first half. Also, it was snowing.

I'm expecting a similar outcome on Saturday. With BYU's offense looking almost completely sterile, Jordan Wynn still throwing pillows for Utah, and offensive lines that couldn't keep a tumbleweed in front of them (and that goes for both squads), we're in for a defensive struggle.
