And rightfully so.
The Las Vegas Bowl, which has been dubbed as the “Holy War in Sin City” between Utah and BYU, has turned extremely ugly in the early going.
Following five first-quarter turnovers, the Cougars trailed Utah 35-0 less than 11 minutes into the game.
SEC Network’s Brent Musburger is on the call with his partner Jesse Palmer, and Musburger expressed his concern for BYU fans following the fifth Utah touchdown of the quarter:
“I really feel sorry for my Mormon friends at BYU. They don’t drink!” -Brent Musburger in the middle of calling a 34-0 Holy War.

Palmer followed that comment by assuring Brent that there are “other things they can do” to take their minds off the outcome of the football game.
