They also lost the starting QB, the leading WR, the top two RBs, the two top
tacklers, the interception leader and the sack leader. I believe they are in reset mode and not nearly the team they were last season.
BYU needs to come out and not treat them like an FCS in order to prove themselves, they need to win convincingly. With all their best players gone, it will be easier than it would have been if they played SIU last season.
