Tons of BYU fans in my stake had planned a trip to the CCG and bought tickets and air fare.

I don't believe firing A Rod is the answer, but...

Chase Roberts should have received a Collie-type level of targets

Collie had a Collie year because we used the TE.

The Y's Insider

1:19pm

We used the TE because other than Collie, who did we have at receiver?

Knee Brace

1:20pm

Chase was essentially our TE, as far as how he’s used on 3rd down.

cougaman

1:21pm

If we had used the tight end position more it would've opened things up more

cougstyle

1:21pm

Because we don't have good tight ends and our offensive line needs our TEs to

I think we also have more quality WR than Collie's big year, which matters.

Bronco - UNM/USU.

The Y's Insider

1:12pm

I'm conflicted. I have a soft spot for USU and think he'd do great there.

LegitCoug

1:15pm

If he does come back to the Utah media market, can we bring back Tom Kirkland?

CPAcoug87

“Pickin’ ‘em up and puttin’ ‘em down!”

The Y's Insider

1:21pm

Bronco was made for USU. His type of people/community.

SausageKing

Going from a P4 school to UNM has to be rough. I'm sure he knew what he was

mudpupper

USU fan message boards seem unified on one thing though—no Bronco

I don't know about this. Bronco thought independence was "unsustainable" so

Knee Brace .5 Deviation Thunder

Grammar like that makes me 95% sure he’s heading to ASU.

The Y's Insider

1:13pm

Not surprising with how little use TEs were being used.

byuluvr

1:13pm

I’m frankly amazed we can recruit any TE’s.

Bluforever

1:16pm

I think they were used, but they just weren't that great.

Jeffacka

1:17pm

Worst preforming group on the team by a wide margin.

Rise Against

1:18pm

More accurately, he couldn't break through the depth chart above him

kccougar

1:18pm

He obviously doesn’t feel like he’ll play next year

deliciousmocha

1:14pm

We are losing everybody there. Swanson (mission) Hill and Ta'ase are seniors.

Corn

1:18pm

I think he just needs more time. Dang

Unibro

1:15pm

It’s more than that.

The Y's Insider

1:17pm

Ugh, ridiculous

FiveTen-BuckEighty

1:19pm

It's not ridiculous. It's just football. Some guys pan out. Others don't.

kccougar

1:19pm

Yup, taking personal offense at a young man's choice on what he wants to do is not a good waste of emotions.

CSoul

Lol “Thank you Heavenly Father! I am entering the portal” that’s a funny way to

palangi

1:16pm

My favorite line for people in Utah leaving their job as the trump card. "We just were inspired to do this"

CSoul

1:18pm

Agree but Bowers doesn't do that here. Just expresses gratitude.

Unibro

1:20pm

Yeh, I should have qualified it as I don't know what Brock is saying here or trying to pick on him. Just reminds me

CSoul

He probably would’ve eventually seen the field, but it isn’t like the guys he

DieHarder

How do we whiff so consistently on big recruits???

Lifer

How many other program's depth charts do you pay close attention to?

I don't. Are you saying our success rate with "big" recruits is average or

Lifer

1:23pm

Recruiting services do the worst at evaluating tight ends. Its data. There is

KCFan85

1:14pm

I think Jake is going to be really good this next year

RexburgCougar

1:07pm

Depends on off line play.

Bluforever

1:08pm

His growth from year 1 to year 2 was exceptional

NGB

1:09pm

His QBR and passer rating the last 4 games looked more like last year than

BYUheaven

1:13pm

I think there is a direct connection with O-line injuries...

RexburgCougar

1:14pm

He’ll improve. He’s a hard worker. Without a very good line, we won’t run

Bluforever

1:14pm

John Beck went 6-6 in the MWC his junior year. Then had the stellar senior year.

MarylandFan

Hear! Hear! Max Hall comes to mind as well

RexburgCougar

1:17pm

Congratulations, Iowa State

Art Director

1:07pm

That’s a real shame

CPAcoug87

1:07pm

Leavitt will struggle against that secondary, especially with this news

RexburgCougar

1:08pm

They are built on the run game either way

JuicyJam

1:11pm

Skattebo is so good

RGGeemer

1:12pm

He's probably the best back we've played. Sell out hard for the run and leave

RexburgCougar

1:19pm

Go ISU. ASU fans and coach came off poorly during our game with them.

VACougMD

1:09pm

They've got other good guys. He's their main WR weapon, but Skattebo is about to

IronPotato

1:09pm

Oh, Come on, ASU. Add the Sun Devils to the list of teams that ended up doing BYU and the B12 no favors.

kccougar

1:12pm

UCF torched Iowa State on the ground and Skattebo will do the same

If only they had torched them a bit more and actually won the game 🤬

Google Pixel phones, especially if you're going with GoogleFi as your carrier.

IdahoCoug

Are the Pixel phones just amazing or do other brands not work well on Google Fi?

We have Google Fi, and my son's on an iPhone

Are U able to do location sharing with UR son with him being on a diff platform?

MightyFreakingCougar

Thought they were done due to Brian Johnson's hearing issues.

They got Brett Ratliff to come in for him.

foofcoug

POLL: Chase Roberts has said he'll declare for draft. Good decision?

Lifer

1:03pm

He'd be a journeyman WR. I hope he does great though.

IronPotato

1:04pm

If so, 5 years making $7-8 million. How’s that compare to most first 5 yrs out

Bluforever

1:06pm

It's a little less than what I make, but solid.

IronPotato

1:08pm

I say no, but I'm answering from a BYU fan perspective.

spoxjox

1:04pm

For him or BYU?

Bluforever

1:04pm

For him. Seems like a poor decision to me knowing he could get a good NIL

Lifer

1:07pm

Not for me

RGGeemer

1:04pm

I'd say 100% go before the NIL era. Probably should still go, but now it depends

Art Director

1:05pm

Depends on the feedback he gets

Projectoor

1:05pm

Can he test the waters before making it official like they do with the NBA?

Gorgias

1:08pm

I haven't seen him on any draft boards.

JuicyJam

1:11pm

He's an RM who is graduating. Solid chance to make a roster

FiveTen-BuckEighty

1:12pm

No, if NIL is good. Yes if it’s just OK.

RGGeemer

1:04pm

Puka was on there too and also was injured

SausageKing

1:06pm

No worries!

DizzyDean

1:15pm

My wildly 🔥 take that is just the most obvious thing ever. Kalani can take us to the next level if he does what Lavell

shimmy In play, run(s)

12:58pm

That and surround himself with innovative, high-level assistants like LaVell.

foofcoug

1:02pm

With an elite QB I think Arod would look good.

shimmy

1:07pm

He may look good - still doesn't make him either innovative or high-level.

foofcoug

1:12pm

With elite QBs Arod did look good.

Gorgias

1:12pm

I do think that ARod thinks he can make "anybody" elite. That's why we haven't gotten after the big QB's.

tamasiaina

1:20pm

It helped to be one of the only teams that would let guys like that throw.

2ndTrombone

1:04pm

For sure. Not so easy anymore.

shimmy

1:07pm

This was a key competitive advantage that Lavell recognized and exploited

jvr7

1:12pm

Lucky or maybe find a late bloomer.

DizzyDean

1:06pm

Retzlaff is never gonna be a great passer. It’s just not gonna happen. He can be a good leader and solid at QB to lead

shimmy

1:09pm

I think it's more important to have elite level OLs and DLs.

ManicBlue

1:08pm

Excellent OL + RB play really unlocks a great QB

Gorgias

1:23pm

Problem is he won't fork out the NIL to get a great QB.

Frankfromtheballpark

1:18pm

Won’t or can’t? I don’t think he’s sitting on a pile of cash, refusing to spend.

Reasonable1

1:23pm

Timing for the take isn't great as we just had a great season without a great QB

Lifer

1:21pm

Also, we haven't had very good success with the highly rated QB's that we've had in the past.

ManicBlue

1:22pm

Some day the planets will align and we will have elite Defense AND elite Offense

Bronco bailing on UNM after one season would be low class

runningryan

12:59pm

Why would that be low class? It’s just business

Finneas

1:13pm

Especially that UNM is stuck in the MWC and USU is moving to the PAC12

Fatalplacebo

It’s not “just business” when numerous CBers claimed Bronco altruistically passed on several better opportunities but

Rhubarb

1:17pm

Reports are that Hill and USU appeared "far away from a deal"

FiveTen-BuckEighty

12:58pm

In other words, USU asked Hill, Jay said, "This is what it would take," and USU said, "Oh. Well, thanks for the talk."

kccougar

Utah State is in a tough spot offering a contract with knowing their media value

Art Director

Definitely don't want Bronco as a HC in Utah

COUGND

I think he would be amazing at a service academy

runningryan

Bronco at USU would not be a recruiting threat to P4s.

You’re right. He wasn’t a P5 recruiting threat when he was at BYU. He won’t

Cause Utah High School coaches love Bronco and Howell... I'd welcome that...

This would hurt the CB manufactured narrative that Bronco wanted NM vs. all
