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.

I’ve lost faith in Mokofisi. I know he apparently had an injury that NOBODY is willing to say what it is, but he hasn’t improved his PFF grades since his freshman year. Why? Why hasn’t he improved. OLine is an aread you should be getting better if you have the reps. I hope someone else wins over him….if he’s not going to improve his grades.

I feel like the biggest advantage for Utah against Nico is that it will be his first game in a new system

He’s faced defenses as good or better than Utah’s and played against better athletes. And most people point to the 2nd year starting being the biggest jump in performance. But by getting him early, it should offset the normal progression in performance that teams later in the season will have to deal with.

Utah’s DB’s will need to be assignment sound because he will take chances. There should be opportunities on both sides to make big plays

It was a really long two years

NI was mostly underwhelming against the better opponents Tennessee faced last year.

“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 situations for church members to be on their worst behavior…and put it on national TV for everyone to see?

BYU-Provo Campus could also help its image by putting a little more emphasis on academics and little less emphasis on being a marriage meat market, but that’s a subject for a different thread.

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 make a correction.
