oxcoug Intervention Needed

Given an advance preview of Max chucking five terrible INTs in an otherwise winnable game vs Utah and no other info?

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be 10, which is the number they ended up winning.

Why would the RBs improve if Martin is injured?

Why do you think the mistakes on offense will be corrected?

Did BYU get better last year?

This is my question too.

SMU was hugely overrated. They looked terrible against Nevada and us.

Would you have the info from 2007 showing that Max was actually a pretty decent qb?

As long as you also had the info that 2007 team had a strong OL, the best WR in

Then yeah, I'd have been optimistic about 2008 as I was then. Retzlaff has never shown an ability to throw the ball

Sure. Retzlaff has never had the GOAT WR, the GOAT TE and an established OL

And how many unquestionably garbage throws did he make? The guy has not shown any semblance of accuracy. He's had one

BYU will win Wyoming, Houston, Baylor, ASU, KSU, and possibly another upset.

18 points will get you a win against Wyoming but it won’t in conference
