"I've got a little riddle for you: how do you kill a god?"
Hades' reverberating inquiry has haunted my mental space for the past two weeks. BYU football, with a bye week's buffer, stares down their most foreboding task of the season: toppling the 8th-ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders in Lubbock. Tech remains the favorite to claim the Big 12 championship at the end of the season, and has been the apparent ruling force in the league, despite the BYU Cougars remaining the only unbeaten team among the bunch.
Yet in spite of this, Tech approach home field and a top 10 matchup with a double-digit favorite tag stuck to their helmets.
