Some have advocated for a more BSU like schedule (including me) to soften the schedule and increase the win count. This is evidence that TH and the AD are full on board with creating a top notch P5 schedule as part of being indy.
Looking at this and future games already on the docket, BYU is going to play a completive schedule against old and new foes and do its best to play in new places around the country. so if you have any question on TH's game plan, now you know it.
I think with this mindset we have to temper expectations. Scheduling like this BYU isn't likely to have a magical 11-1 season with a NY6 or CFP appearance. We are looking at many 8-4 types of seasons.
