Why do you think the mistakes on offense will be corrected?

Did BYU get better last year?

This is my question too.

SMU was hugely overrated. They looked terrible against Nevada and us.

Then yeah, I'd have been optimistic about 2008 as I was then. Retzlaff has never shown an ability to throw the ball
