improved over last year, despite several question marks.

A great Goatnapper point is that fans see all the questions and believe every answer to the questions will be answered positively. It's extremely remote for that to occur.

BYU has questions at many positions: QB, RB, and OL on offense, and on DL, less so on LB and in the backfield.

Given so many questions, BYU won't succeed on all of these.

So what positive signs create a reasonable belief that BYU be better?

1. Experience: they went through the conference slate once;
2. Hill has been with the team longer;
3. Fitness may be improved.

What else?
