It's the 5th time since 2001. IDK how many times during LaVell's tenure we

Probably the first time that, other than the patsy, we were not favored in any of the games

Yes. When you win a lot, your players get accolades and move onto the NFL.

The 3 years under LaVell that we started 5-0?

Definitely not awful, but he has had more losing seasons than Bronco and LaVell

Is it also the hardest 5 opponents to get to 5-0? potentially too subjective

That 2021 schedule was pretty tough

Yeah I forgot who we played, that was a crazy start

Difference though 3 home games and the Vegas Arizona game (so only 1 true road)

8 times in BYU football history, with 3 of those happening in the last 5 years.

Against a MUCH harder schedule that any other BYU coach has faced

Overall, recent BYU has been like this

While I think we may be lacking star power on offense

Talent wise I would not rank this team very high at all on BYU's all time great teams...
