SALT LAKE CITY – After BYU football defeated rival Utah on Saturday night at Rice-Eccles Stadium, the undefeated Cougars celebrated joyfully.

One player during the celebration up a notch by poking fun at comments made by Utah quarterback Cam Rising at Big 12 Media Day in July.

BYU freshman cornerback Therrian “Tre” Alexander III unveiled a t-shirt featuring a screenshot of an X post he wrote in July in response to Rising’s comments.

Rising, when reporters at Big 12 Media Day asked about the return of the BYU-Utah rivalry this season, he said, “I just wanna go down there and whoop their a**. That’s all I’m focused on.”

At the time, Alexander said on July 9, “We pulling up.”

Fast-forward four months, and one 22-21 BYU victory later: “A story in 2 parts…we do no capping,” wrote Alexander.

Rising did not play in Saturday’s game. The seventh-year quarterback suffered a season-ending injury at Arizona State last month. Brandon Rose was the starting quarterback for Utah on Saturday. He passed for 112 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception while rushing for 55 yards on seven carries.

At the end of the day, it was rivalry smack. But Alexander noted there’s more to life than just a game.

A Utah fan sent a tweet to Alexander showing appreciation for him showing respect during Utah’s “Moment of Loudness” tradition.

Alexander replied, “Some things are bigger than football.”
