Utah does play Physical on Defense and my hope and I think all of our hope was with KS we would have that by now. You also have to remember that Utah has 12 years of P5 status and $$ compared to BYU having 1 year. I do have hope with our DC and see improvement in recruiting.
BYU does have some issues and they start at the top with KS. The OC is also an issue and his recruiting has been bad and we don't have a great option at QB this year.
I do see improvement and I think we will see similar backing by booster with either a new HC or maybe KS finally pulls his head out. I don't have hope of him doing that, and put it more on a new HC that will get the support/funding that Young has gotten in Basketball.
All is not for sure as there is a reason the games are played and we just don't take the pre-season ranking and just anoint a NC. Time will tell and here is hoping BYU can step it up, and KS can some how pull his head out.
