Take that back- think we were favored vs WY but beat the spread

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?

Yes, LaVell 3x, Kalani 3x, Crowton, Bronco.

Impossible. Kalani is awful.

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...
