Holy War Fallout, RSL Backdoors the Playoffs, Aggies Stay Alive, and Mammoth Momentum

We survived Rivalry Week — and somehow, Real Salt Lake survived the regular season too.

In this week’s episode of The Matt Cave Podcast, I break down:

• The Holy War aftermath: BYU’s physical dominance, Utah’s offensive woes, and what this means for both programs moving forward.
• Real Salt Lake’s wild playoff berth: how a 2–2 draw was enough, and why that “achievement” feels hollow.
• Utah State’s sneaky bowl hopes: Bronco Mendenhall’s Aggies are scrappy, but can they actually sneak into the Mountain West title race?
• Utah Mammoth momentum: Keller’s hat trick, Schmaltz’s breakout, Cooley’s grit, and why the herd is for real.

It’s a loaded Utah sports week, and yes — the sun did come up after the Holy War. Let’s spelunk into it.
