BYU Football: Cougars have been both trick and treat this season

Halloween is a time of choice. When you go door to door dressed up in a costume, you say the same thing over and over when a door opens.

“Trick or Treat.”

The origin of that phrase is simple: either the homeowner gives the kid candy or gets a trick (or prank). Frankly it’s full-fledged bribery, but that’s an argument for another time.

BYU Football has been doing its own version or trick-or-treating this season, but in a different way. Half the time they’ve treated fans with an awesome performance or upset win, then made those same fans wonder if it was just a trick after some inexplicable or maddening losses.
