I don't think we'll lose but if Kalani treats it like he's treated the other FCS

Kalani is 8-0 vs FCS by an average score of 43-12. Overall, BYU is 18-0 by an average of 48-10.

Kalani teams no-show more often than not, it's just now much more impactful playing in a P4. Haven't played a complete

Maybe TT last year I guess? Seems like our O was still pretty bad, just TT wanted to give us turnovers

The offense was good in the first half. It stayed in the locker room at halftime.

OK yeah. Sub 300 yards, gave up almost 400 on D. So not a complete game. I don't understand why this is a thing under KS

It might be because the fake punt master doesn't know how the game is played

You expect a big win then.

THere are so many fans who disagree with that idea, but I agree with you.

Yeah we're the weirdos for expecting for the coaches to prepare the team to be

What is the "culture" under this staff? Bronco could be weird but

I agree, I don't know exactly what the culture under Kalani is

Amen. LaVell went to the passing attack & Bronco emphasized "being

I agree there was a clear vision under those two, I'm not sure what Kalani's

Isn't it obvious? It's all about watching the film

Some people complained that Mendenhall alleged to treat every game the same way

Don't know much about So. IL. They on par w/No IL? If so we know what can happen

Southern Illinois was an FCS playoff team last year and beat Northern Illinois

Agreed, but

It's not. But watch the staff accidentally prep for the wrong team lol

Jul 26, 9:31am

It was just a dumb joke based on a player accidentally calling them Northern Illinois.

Oh man I missed that one lol

They also lost the starting QB, the leading WR, the top two RBs, the two top

As in the past, this first game will give us an indication of how the year will

I'm hoping we see 2001 Tulane or 2020 Navy instead of Portland State/Sam

And first games are often a very poor predictor of the rest of the season, based

Not always. 1996 Texas A&M, 2001 Tulane & 2020 Navy showed

This is 100% correct. Yiu rarely see byu teams improve as the season progresses

Idacoug

BYU teams never improve through a season, only regress. Or at best stabilize

Under Kalani that is true. Yes, injuries have been an issue but so has

The hallmark of KS teams are a lack of discipline, depth, and mental toughness

Mental toughness seems to be the biggest. Once we get "punched in

Kind of amazing honestly we won 5 games last year when we had our OL literally

My guess is 20 points.
