Not hopeful because the Utah game was a microcosm of the season.

The difference between the first half and the second half wasn't young players or injured players. The difference was the coaching. The better and more seasoned our talent gets, the more ahead we are, the more crappy ultra-conservative our coaching gets.

I'll get flamed for this post, but I'm pretty hopeful about BYU football

Why would you get flamed for this? Everyone is allowed to have an opinion

Because this is CB and we're all emotional wrecks.

Yeah those first four games are bonkers: But at least FOUR of them are at home

We have not played better at home the last few years. I don't think it's an

Agreed. In fact many times we look better on road games than home

I think that's an aberration that will even out - just removing the travel

The problem is we are assuming so much in predicting a better year. There is a

I'm also optimistic, I just don't want Wilson's to follow Mangum and show

Wilson is one thing that does make me feel optimistic! He just seems like

We need more pieces around him (RB, WRs) because just him is not turning in to

I agree with your analysis. Just one gripe

No kidding. Wait until you see the CB posts in July, predicting what the 2019 season holds.

11/26/18 12:01pm

Yep. You can't improve a glass ceiling. Kalani has to go

Thank you for this. I needed some hope restored

11/26/18 12:04pm

No flame, just agreement in every aspect. I do look forward to the future.

Yes the coaching isn't very good. But the overall issue is recruiting.

I think BYU is far better this year than last. I have hope for the future.

The question I have is if our players will get better under these coaches

Great review. Players have not improved under Kalani

That you didn't get any thumbs down is a good sign for the state of cougarboard as well.

There is one problem BYU has year in and year out lately. We're just too thin

In hindsight, we weren't that inconsistent. Wisconsin was vastly overrated.

I'm hopeful for 3 ZW throws - 2 TDs to Pauu and Bushman and come back to Simon

I see another 6-6 year.

Would another 6-6 get Kalani fired or contract extended?

Iki_Balam

byu is the worst team in college football for the 2nd year in a row
