In the years I followed the team closely (since ‘96)

You could clearly see some great talent on the team the year prior (especially offense in all those examples) and a QB with serious potential and some great performances. I just am not seeing that with the o and d lines, safeties, QB, RB (good for 1st string but not deep), and tight ends at this point.

From one year to the next

That was almost always a QB making the leap

That’s crazy. Are you saying that QBs with experience tend to be better?

We actually do have several QBs with D1 experience, and one who started several

Jericho

And we definitely have the possibility to make a large leap in QB play this yr.

Those good teams all seemed to have really good OLs IIRC. 2001, 2006, 2011

Jul 3, 1:14pm

A good OL would certainly be huge for us. That would give me real hope

Let me help you back away from that hope you are worried about.

here's to hoping

Utah will be so jealous when we get the AFC west invite first.

Pat Mahomes playing in LES. Can’t wait!

the years of competing in the wac/mwc/indy are over.

the schedules didn't suddenly get easier from one year to next previously either

I'm just saying you can improve, but still not get a miracle year.

Jul 3, 2:12pm

BYU could even improve and have a worse record, for sure.

We have amazing talent at TE and WR, OL and QB have lots of potential

viper

Jul 3, 2:14pm

You’re right about WR—they look awesome and deep.

Jul 3, 5:05pm

Each had a returning starting qb, right?

No, 2000 ended with Doman, but he was not the sure fire starter going into Spring

Then, what's the point?

I bet in almost all those seasons, fans said there was no way BYU would be a lot better than the year before

Indy Coug

So a hope but not a prediction? Makes sense.

Teams and BYU have bounced back from poor years.

Any big swings from 5 wins or less?

BYU seasons under .500 and the season afterwards

Nice work. I would take bowl eligibility.

Accipiter

Both 2005 and 2006 were better teams than their records imo.

Look at the 2011 and 2020 schedules and get back to me

Why no 2001-2002 through 2004or 2016-2017?

Those would not be examples of a team really improving from one year to the next

krindorr

Jul 4, 7:35am

Looking a bit closer, those jumps all came with a strong end to the previous season

krindorr

Jul 4, 7:55am

I’m curious how often a qb has gone from really inaccurate to decently accurate. With just an average QB next year we

There's a few really obvious examples that jump out to me
