Utah governor roasts Notre Dame after losing to BYU
There were plenty of BYU fans and supporters who got their trash talk in with Notre Dame after the upset. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox even had some remarks
After a thrilling top-10 matchup between BYU and Notre Dame on Saturday night, the sparring between the two teams' fanbases heated up. BYU supporters celebrated their hard-fought victory over the No. 8 Fighting Irish, while Utah Governor Spencer Cox, a proud alumnus of Utah State, joined in on the fun. In a lighthearted social media post on Sunday afternoon, Cox commended Notre Dame for putting up with the "insufferable BYU fans," including himself.
He recognized Notre Dame as a "big brother" and a "gold standard," praising the Fighting Irish's rich football tradition and the admiration fans worldwide hold for the Notre Dame program. The governor also paid homage to Notre Dame's iconic football cathedral in South Bend, expressing admiration for the school's coaching staff and team.
Cox playfully ended his message with a comment about the controversial clock and pass interference calls at the end of the game, wishing he could have witnessed CJ Carr make an extra play.
