injuries to starting defenders. I don't like it, but if 8-5 is a bad year, I don't think we have much to complain about. We haven't had a losing season in a decade. How many other teams can say that? I wanted last year to be the second coming of 1984 just as bad as everyone else (and it was very nearly so if Taysom didn't get injured), but it wasn't. Bronco is the winningest coach (by percentage) in the history of BYU football. All while playing the toughest schedules in the history of BYU football. I think we need to dial our expectations down a notch. That said, I think we're on the cusp of some pretty special seasons.
