There won’t be any Heisman talk if the team flops in the first Big12 season. Missing one game due to injury most often

QB news I learned over the weekend

The Y's Insider

12/5/22 8:54am

Fennegan's ankle is better?

kccougar

12/5/22 8:55am

Fennegan has been hurt

1984coug

12/5/22 8:55am

He's back

The Y's Insider

12/5/22 8:56am

Age at QB way less important than RB or WR

MormonThug

12/5/22 8:57am

True.

The Y's Insider

12/5/22 9:01am

True, franchise QBs are playing into their late 30s. RBs are usually done by 30

Duke Silver

12/5/22 9:01am

Franchise QBs are playing into their 40's

BigTex

12/5/22 9:07am

A handful of HOF QB's, sure. But making it to 40, even for a quality "franchise"

Duke Silver

12/5/22 9:17am

No way this is true

JimmyZ

12/5/22 9:02am

The importance of age in drafting QBs is more about development remaining than about pending end-of-career

krindorr

12/5/22 9:06am

In theory, but age was held against QBs like Taysom Hill and Brandon Weeden

ldssdl

12/5/22 9:06am

It just means you have to start your NFL career strong - compare Weeden and Zach Wilson

krindorr

12/5/22 9:10am

Weeden, yes; hill, no.

MormonThug

12/5/22 9:19am

True...

NOCAL_YFAN

12/5/22 9:16am

Yeah right

BYU Grounds

12/5/22 9:31am

Yes and no, that was one of the knocks on Hill coming out.

Blue for Life

12/5/22 11:04am

Two words. Kurt and Warner. 27 when he finally made an NFL roster.

ImuaKahuku

12/5/22 8:46pm

Yikes is right, these bowl games just seem like exhibitions at this point

Dr T-bone

12/5/22 8:59am

Um, they always have been just exhibitions.

Corn Pop

12/5/22 9:03am

Yep, bowl games are dumb.

porl thompson

12/5/22 9:42am

Nothing dumb about getting to watch your team play one more game.

Eddie

12/5/22 10:04am

I love watching BYU in bowl games.

porl thompson

12/5/22 10:19am

It's dumb to not have an expanded playoff, for sure.

Eddie

12/5/22 10:34am

Well they really are just exhibitions.

kotacoug

12/5/22 9:04am

Every single BYU game is an exhibition

YOHONOMOTO

12/5/22 11:15am

Bowl games are simply post-season games. It's always nice to have one more game a few weeks after the last regular

lightmann

12/5/22 11:44am

I like the word "exhibition" for these lesser bowls.

BlueFever

12/5/22 9:06am

If the bowl game shows up on our end of season record as a win or a loss (and it does), it's not a meaningless game.

lightmann

12/5/22 1:11pm

Then it's just another game.

BlueFever

12/5/22 8:37pm

True, our guys have fought hard all season to go to New Mexico

Remigius

12/5/22 8:38pm

It's a dream come true for us fans, too.

BlueFever

12/6/22 7:57am

Fennegan>Conover? Yikes.

byujdmba

12/5/22 9:00am

No he wasn’t; now it doesn’t matter

2FarGone

12/5/22 10:52am

Well Conover decided to transfer, so yes it is now next guy up.

Blue for Life

12/5/22 11:06am

Makes sense…it is hard for me to imagine that he couldn’t make comparable

kosmokramer

12/5/22 9:00am

Heard the same thing about the bowl game.

Kolipoki

12/5/22 9:00am

Why no Hall in the bowl game? Is he that hurt?

mudpupper

12/5/22 9:02am

Couldn't be. He was only sitting last game as a precaution.

Corn Pop

12/5/22 9:05am

Ankle sprain vs Standford

Turnpike Lane

12/5/22 9:19am

Fennegan starting in the bowl...yikes. Just goes to show how clueless it was to

TheMediator

12/5/22 9:02am

Is this actually true or are you running with a rumor?

SUAVO

12/5/22 9:04am

It's obviously an opinion and why would he be wrong sharing it?

byukarl

12/5/22 9:11am

why would he be wrong for sharing an incorrect opinion?

fattycoug

12/5/22 10:11am

Every post on CB is an opinion. As for being wrong or right, that is up for

Blue for Life

12/5/22 11:20am

But until it is proven then it is rumor. This one is being intentional shared

SUAVO

12/5/22 12:02pm

I suspect the early bowl date preference had more to do with getting the new staff going with recruiting and such

El Jefe

12/5/22 9:14am

2023 Recruiting > 2022 Bowl game

Turnpike Lane

12/5/22 9:18am

preference does not mean that they had ANY control

fattycoug

12/5/22 10:11am

Whoa, stop it with the rational and reasonable explanations.

cougarmeister

12/5/22 10:33am

Early signing day is December 21st right? So earlier bowl game actually

cougarfann888

12/5/22 12:59pm

Yep!

jtm0001

12/5/22 3:44pm

BYU HAD VERY LITTLE CHOICE IN WHAT BOWL GAME THEY GOT!!!!

fattycoug

12/5/22 10:10am

Have heard differently. NM wanted to stay in that bowl, and ESPN was willing to

12/5/22 11:23am

What!! I'm not sure you know Tom and KS so well as to state that they

Love Cougs

12/5/22 10:28am

Nobody cares. Its just a silly exhibition game

Backcountry

RE: Fennegan starting in the bowl...yikes. Just goes to show how clueless it was to

runningryan

12/5/22 11:03am

Yep. Our AD (with his 4 super bowl rings) isn't committed to winning.

CalGTR

12/5/22 11:22am

Football / wins never have been and never will be the priority at BYU. Bronco

NYC and Japan

12/5/22 2:44pm

Great news on Hall. Bad news for the bowl. Was hoping Hall would be ready.

Dangerous

12/5/22 9:03am

Do we know anything about a timeframe on a decision?

bebo189

12/5/22 9:10am

Also, does a transfer QB commit without knowing if Jaren is gone?

bebo189

12/5/22 9:18am

That would be the key question. No portal kid is transferring in without clarity before.

Maybe

Zip

12/5/22 11:50am

If BYU doesn't REALLY doesn't care if they win or lose the bowl game,

BYUJoJo

12/5/22 10:24am

Do you care who wins? I don't. I'd rather have the players have a great time and be excited about starting fresh next yr

HarlemCoug

12/5/22 10:26am

Agreed, also why risk Hall? Given another QB a shot to see what we have.

Cougstreak

12/5/22 10:27am

Your opinion is crazy. A win gives us momentum into next season. Questions?

BleedCougarBlue2

12/5/22 11:07am

There is no way a non important bowl game can carry momentum for more than 3 weeks let alone 9 months.

HarlemCoug

12/5/22 11:22am

Obviously, a win is ALWAYS better than a loss. The winning team will always feel better about winning their last game

lightmann

12/5/22 1:17pm

^^^^^ Ding! Ding! Ding! Nailed it.

BleedCougarBlue2

12/5/22 8:32pm

It's waaay better than a loss, for players, recruiting, motivation. Questions?

BleedCougarBlue2

12/5/22 8:31pm

Of course winning matters! We are in this mess

devcougar

12/5/22 5:14pm

YOu get the extra practices allowed under NCAA rules which is good for next year

Pasadena

12/5/22 10:56am

YES - exactly right

runningryan

12/5/22 11:16am

Practice, reps, playing time for young players come with bowl games. Player

NYC and Japan

12/5/22 2:53pm

I think Fennegan will surprise.

Love Cougs

12/5/22 10:24am

From small game sample

I'mBatman

12/5/22 11:07am

I thought Jaren was playing in the bowl. Will he miss for injury or NFL prep?

TailgateU

12/5/22 10:44am

Speculation

I'mBatman

12/5/22 11:08am

They are taking it week by week. Someone has to take the reps with Jaren injured

Jericho

12/5/22 11:12am

Right now he is nowhere near 1st three round talent. Nope.

I think Jaren is coming back..

Lefty24

12/5/22 11:31am

I don't think he should... but I think we all hope he does

krindorr

12/5/22 12:44pm

What if he's making multiple hundreds of thousands in NIL? NFL contracts for

runnincoug

12/5/22 12:49pm

No, it's $660,000 unless he gets relegated to the practice squad

Jericho

12/5/22 12:54pm

A 4th rounder makes 1.3M in their first year

krindorr

12/5/22 1:01pm

I don't think he goes that high

Jericho

12/5/22 1:04pm

I guess I think he's a 4th rounder, maybe 5th (but even 7th rounder gets $800k)

krindorr

12/5/22 1:10pm

No way. He has about as much of a chance next year as this IMO

Jericho

12/5/22 1:12pm

Another year could help (or hurt him)

krindorr

12/5/22 1:21pm

Legacy still means something to some players. JH has a shot at dramatically

Cougarbib

coastcat

12/5/22 1:57pm

Hall would expect to win them all! No guts. No glory. BTW, Heisman candidate

Cougarbib

12/5/22 2:14pm

NFL min salary is $660k, practice squad year salary is $207k

krindorr

12/5/22 12:59pm

There was an article last where he talked about his desire to get better for

AntiSNOT

12/5/22 1:03pm

I would think JH could transfer and get 7 figures somewhere that really needs a baller.
