It was a really long two years

“Years” being the last 2. Which 2 does qualify as “years”, it is the bare minimum to qualify.

And as has been said in other posts, last year Beck did run more than pass even in an uptempo offense. Which is a common misconception people have even thinking of Oregon and Chip Kelly. I’m Not comparing the 2 directly, but just saying.

Another thing to remember will be, patience. We fans will need to be patient as there will be growing pains. No matter how great or bad Coach Scalley ends up being, no matter how many years of experience he has, there will be adjustments and growing he will learn and go through.

I mean it’s not like any of us on this board ever overreact ………..

The only way to make BYU-Provo Campus a true missionary tool is to drop intercollegiate athletics altogether. Let’s face it: Sports bring out the worst in people. And – for better or for worse – the LDS Church will always be judged by the behavior of its members. If we’re truly thinking about our missionary purpose, why would we want to create…[Read more]

LOL. That party is one that will suck you in and spit you out weird.

I don’t have a problem with players that are dialed in to their primary position to the point of being considered for all conference getting some run on offense. It can be a reward, it can be a benefit to attracting other top talent, some players can handle more than 50% of the plays. I think coaches are smart enough to see a negative impact and…[Read more]

Quote from Whitt:

“Smith Snowden is looking good on offense,” Whittingham said. “That’s been a good addition for us. And Lander Barton’s doing some good things on offense, so we’ve got a lot of options right now.”

I know some on here do not like guys coming over from the defense. I like it if done sparingly and in the right situations.

Thanks for posting. Good article. I also saw an interview with Merriwether and he said the offense was simple and similar to his past offenses. No more “ he hasn’t grasp the offense yet” after 2 years.

You mean Jake Troll. He kisses BYUs ass because it gives him ratings. Every headline is anti Utah or pro BYU which in both cases draw in BYU fans.

I tell my BYU fan friends that if they want BYU athletics to be a true “missionary tool” that they should really be targeting BYU to be not “excellent” in athletics, but “above average” in athletics. This because I think that BYU is most “loveable” to non-Mormons when they play the part of the scrappy and charismatic overachiever. If BYU were to…[Read more]

Well, that video does it for me. I’m renouncing my Utah fanhood- I’m buying BYU season tickets and joining that party! Forget the Muss, I want to sing Don’t stop believin’ at the top of my lungs with those mouth breathers and super soakers! I’ve always been a closeted Cougar Tail lover, according to my web search history anyway. They are so…[Read more]

I’ve read through a lot of the YouTube comments recently and noticed the exact same thing.

It’s hilarious and pathetic at the same time that byu fans collectively in the comments act like a 5-year old kid that didn’t get what he wanted and stomps his foot and throws a mild temper tantrum when something said isn’t 100% positive and glowing about…[Read more]

I think receiver is going to be successful through the collective rather than an individual standout. I would be shocked if we have anyone get more than 750 receiving yards this year but rather 5 guys who get around 400

Have experienced and witnessed pleasant respectful interactions between our fans and visiting fans from many of the schools in our new conference and perceive that gave them a positive perception of our fan base.

I commented before that their only disappointment after hearing ‘bear spray’ allegations may that they couldn’t buy a cold refreshing…[Read more]

BYU fans embraced the Big 12 and were thrilled to get in. Some Utah fans made it sound like we were above the Big 12. BYU fans jumped on that premise posing as Ute fans. Then we lay an egg in the first season. Last year we had a target on our backs. BYU had a good year and will get their fans back to being obnoxious. The target is on them this year.

I get your concern about the unknowns on offense but you may be placing the bar too high. In the past we have had success without dominating the DBs and have not had to make all the 50/50 plays. I think, like in the past, the passing game needs to be competitive against the pass defense and make their share of plays. Against our own DBs my hope is…[Read more]

Million dollar question. How good is Nico? 6’5 220 with big arm and running skills. Former 5 star from Southern California coming back home to play. Led Tennessee to the CFP last year as a redshirt freshman. He played good early but struggled at times late. I don’t think he has the weapons at UCLA that Tennessee had. Could be a QB showdown. Sim…[Read more]

I want say I am “not drinking the cool-aid”, I always drink a little (or a lot) before the first game. I am cautiously optimistic, considering what I see as a return to the hard-nosed defense priority, albeit with a hope that the offense is heading in a positive direction.

An away game, but I expect the Ute defense to be ready, Utah 34, UCLA 27.…[Read more]
