We'll see if SMU is any good. Not convinced. And BYU is an offensive school.

Agreed. I hope we get to figure it out against Wyoming and Bohanen gets in

Our offense has some things to figure out. Our D is going to give teams problems

Things will degrade quickly. The D cannot withstand short fields all season long

I agree the D has impressed. But even good defenses are gonna struggle if the O is just turnovers and 3 & outs

"There are many reasons to be optimistic" and twice as many to worry...

Aside from Retzlaff TO’s what are the other reasons to really worry?

RB position is a big question mark

Peterbilt

Very true, especially with the injuries

cougarmikey

it was a win but the game shouldn’t have been close. Have to protect the ball.

I agree in the sentiment… but all I can do is cheer the team on.
