BYU had better really up their game before next week or it's going to be a long season.

BYU had better really up their game before next week or it's going to be a long season.
I hope they were holding back a lot or they will get stomped by LSU.

To me it appears BYU has the same weakness they have had for a while, which is lack of team speed.
That was a good old fashion beat down LSU put on the Cougars.
Yo BYU - KICK the friggin' ball!! Enough of these ridiculous fake punts, LMAO.

So now, after having lost in dazzling fashion, the Cougars will head home nursing injuries and targeting ejections just in time for the rivalry game next Saturday. They couldn't even get past the 50 yard line once tonight, sheesh.
If the Cougars suffer another beating next week they might as well just take the rest of the year off. Beating the Ute's will be the only serious redemption possible considering the High School Plus (TM) schedule they have after the Wisconsin game.
Dang, I wish the Cougar's would join a conference, including getting back in the MWC.
What moral victory are the cougars claiming so they didn't think they lost last night?
Why don't they say they lost and just move on? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...91622e8384.jpg

^^^Because BYU is God's chosen team. And God's chosen team will always prevail - even if the scoreboard says otherwise.
Funniest thing I've heard all day.

I'll just leave this here....https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b85995a454.jpg
That is just not a very good team....
After next Saturday they'll be 1 - 3...with their only lackluster win coming in at home against lowly Portland State.
Heck, they could very possibly be 1 - 6 a month from now because after the Wisconsin game they play Utah State in Logan, then Boise State (who almost knocked off Washington State), and then go on the road to play Mississippi State in Mississippi.
Unfortunately you can't teach speed and the lack of team speed was glaring last night.
5 wins. 6 tops.
Mississippi State might drop a 70-burger on them.
BYU will get 6 wins and with the help of ESPN they will get a bowl game.
/bookmarked
They will get 6 wins.

I'm guessing 6, unless they really suck.
Oh they really suck, but they will be into the high school portion of their schedule soon enough.Quote:

All their fans seem to be blaming Detmer and the play calling. I'm not buying it. Perhaps he doesn't have the talent to run the west coast offense.
However...inaccurate throws, dropped balls, nobody able to get open and stupid plays, like getting sacked in your own end zone has little to do with bad play calling.
Mangum has not looked like the same player and the backup was running around like a chicken with his head cutoff. They don't have any playmakers. The cupboard is bare and it going to take a few years to restock it. Give these coaches a chance to bring in their recruiting classes.
Bronco was a terrible recruiter, and now the Cougar's are paying dearly for it. It will take 5 or 6 years to fix this, that is if Kalani is actually talented enough to turn the program around.
Detmer is the scapegoat, not the problem. Independence also hasn't helped, no matter how much the faithful wish it, BYU is not the ND of the west.
A front loaded schedule is not helping the situation. You have to come out of the gates firing on all cylinders, otherwise the season becomes a wash very quickly. Only a select few teams each year could handle it and nobody does it. You start with cupcakes first...
So BYU just announced they will now sell caffeinated beverages on campus. Apparently the student body is ecstatic. The article on ksl.com has over 300 comments - the comment from Cglenn79 was hysterical:

Ex-BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall gives Boise State their 7th loss on the blue turf since 99 as Virginia takes them down 42-23. Boise is now 108-7 at home.
Boise is just a shadow of their former greatness since Chris Peterson left. Ditto Utah State and Gary Anderson. Or BYU and Lavell Edwards... snicker - snicker....Quote:

I don't know how else to say this... but... BYU really sucks this year.
^^^ Only gonna get worse with Boise State coming up, and then a trip to Mississippi State.
It's happening just as prophesied...Quote:

Oh how the mighty have fallen. 1984 is such a distant memory..... Lavell Edward's must be rolling in his grave.
So.... how much longer will this train wreck continue? Someone's head has to roll as that is just the nature of the beast, so who's head will it be?
My first suggestion to rebuilding is get back into a conference where every game matters, you have rivalries, and something to play for every week.
Makes me wonder if Sitake ever regrets his decision to leave Utah.
I doubt his head will roll because he's still pretty new. But perhaps some assistant coach's heads will. Detmer comes to mind...
...and with a road trip to Mississippi State next week, it appears the Cougars will be 1 - 6.
Did Sitake burn that freshman quarterback's redshirt by putting him in the game for the last few minutes? I mean, you gotta do something when your starting QB sucks, but that was kinda stupid.
Yep. My guess is the 4th string true freshman will be the starter next week.Quote:
