Experience matters. Coaching matters. BTW, that NFL draft guy made plenty

if mistakes.

Etienne was the major weakness, but he showed improvement when moved to guard. And he will be more experienced as well.

Coaching matters. Time will tell, but, we probably upgraded here.

Players almost always improve with experience unless injuries get in the way.

Spring Wind Down Observations

Good observations and thoughts.

Mar 27, 3:00pm

Need to remember about Cole Hagen coming...kid is ELITE!

The Chief

Mar 27, 3:13pm

Cody is phenomenal, but he will likely need to shake off the mission legs/rust.

Mar 27, 3:15pm

Hmm. I thought we all agreed that mission legs are a myth.

Mar 27, 10:57pm

I think a few agreed. Several at most.

RM = hamstring injury waiting to happen

Keanu was a good blocker downfield as a WR...

icecougar

Mar 27, 3:06pm

Also, with the o-line, we need 2 guys to step up.

Mar 27, 3:12pm

Don't forget Joe Brown

Captain Stubing

Mar 27, 3:43pm

Oh yeah! I've heard good things about him. I can't believe I forgot

Mar 27, 3:54pm

Rumor was they’ll pick up a few OL transfers

I'mBatman

Mar 28, 7:10pm

They moved him to guard and he improved. He now has more experience.

Couldn't agree more on lack of transparency. No public practices or scrimmages

It's all about the O Line. A good o line solves a lot of problems. A bad O line

Sounds like a conference championship team to me.

When you say someone is a good route runner, what do you mean?

StantonMac

Separation, separation, separation. The quicker that happens the better.

While that's true, if you get separation but are running an out when you're

Isn’t LB pretty deep? We just have injuries.

Go back to Spring 2023 coverage... who were the "top WRs flying all around"?

Texas3Step

Mar 27, 5:14pm

I didn’t know his scholarship was pulled. That’s a bummer, but that’s life.

Atmospheric_Cougar

Great overview. Honestly I think our offense will struggle mightily which will

Remember how last year a bunch of guys on here thought Epps was the best weapon

Pretorian

Mar 27, 6:55pm

When he actually was healthy he played well (he had some big plays vs OU)

puntersarepeople

Mar 27, 7:53pm

That’s the thing, he’s too fragile, can’t count on him

Pretorian

Mar 28, 8:43am

True! One can hope tho

The ND game gave me a lot of hope… love to see that again

Is Saili not a huge upgrade physically on the DL? I was hoping he would be

He might be a huge body with speed which is player any team is looking for, but

NewBYUfannonLDS

About a month ago Bywater said he'll be ready for fall camp. So unless there was a setback....

HarlemCoug

He’ll be ready

Bold prediction. We will not get our 2024 starting QB from Spring portal. Some

Cougarbib

Mar 27, 8:37pm

3 or 4 wins this year. If no major improvement in 2025 I imagine we will have a new coach in 2026

byuTX

Mar 27, 9:08pm

3 wins in 2024 likely results in a coaching change. Other than year 1, 7 wins

Cougarbib

Mar 27, 9:33pm

3 wins and I think sitake would be given another year unless there’s a scandal. 1 or 2 wins might do it. I admit I don’t

byuTX

Mar 27, 9:41pm

U would have to go back some time prior to LaVell Edwards to find a head coach

Cougarbib

Mar 27, 10:27pm

I love Sitake and hope he figures it out and stays forever FWIW. I hope that if JR is the QB that he shows that last

byuTX

Mar 28, 5:07am

U need to scratch P5 QB from your vocabulary. P4 QB going forward.

Cougarbib

Mar 28, 10:00am

That’s how I’m feeling. Post had a lot of good insight but seems we’re not

bigbossbyu

Mar 27, 10:55pm

Why would you think that SMU and Wyoming will be favored? I find that unlikely. Sure SMU had a nice looking record

ManicBlue

Mar 28, 12:52am

I don’t think Wyoming will be favored and honestly I don’t believe they are that

NewBYUfannonLDS

Mar 28, 5:51am

SMU will be favored by 3-5 because of our 2023 O. Wyoming wont be unless we lose big to SMU (my guess is BYU by 6-8).

byuTX

Mar 28, 5:57am

Because Road Games and we are projected to be worse than mediocre P4 team. Not
