Show BYU-Utah Clash Looms as Thriller "Turning Point" could be the title of Saturday night's football extravaganza in Ute Stadium when the loaded Brigham Young University team comes to - Salt Lake Saturday at 8 p.m. with blood in their eyes and talent such as the Skyline has seldom seen. And, like the television production of the same name Saturday's Sat-urday's "Turning Point" could be spectacular, exciting and action ac-tion filled. But, the local production pro-duction will take a back seat to no other in the nation for sheer drama. Coach Ray Nagel's Utes were deadly serious Monday during practice and went through the drills with a calm determination which belies any indication that the Redskins are going on an unorganized war path. It will be a determined, calm, optimistic club that faces the "loaded" Brig one that knows the fact that they are playing a great ball club but that there is a good chance for an upset. As Ray Nagel puts it, "I've coached a lot of teams when we were underdogs and while I realize re-alize BYU is a very strong team I still believe that our club has the type of spirit and enthusiasm which breeds upsets and I'm just not ready to concede defeat. We will be trying all the way and Ute fans can bet their lives that it will be an all out effort on our part." The Saturday "Feline Follies" shapes up as a sell-out and very easily could be the largest football foot-ball crowd in Skyline history. For lo these long years the Cougar Cou-gar has been clawing for a win and Provo fans will attend en! masse for what they believe is at last "the year." If there's any one left in Provo Saturday it will be because they just can't drag the weary body to the big city. Utah has no special- plans for the "Y". As Nagel puts it, "We are just going to go in with the idea of winning and this ball club has just enough pride to stay in there every minute." |
