Talent wise I would not rank this team very high at all on BYU's all time great teams...

But accomplishment wise, thus far, this team is pretty high... Beating the 13 ranked Kansas State team, throttling them... beating Baylor on the road... beating a decent SMU team to the point that they had virtually no offense what so ever because of our defense. If this team beats Utah, they have to be considered among the top 10 in BYU history.

Did I hear correctly that this is just the 8th time BYU has started a season 5-0? If so, some perspective is in order

It's the 5th time since 2001. IDK how many times during LaVell's tenure we

Probably the first time that, other than the patsy, we were not favored in any of the games

2:10pm

Take that back- think we were favored vs WY but beat the spread

Of the 4 other times post-LaVell, here is how the seasons ended:

Yes. When you win a lot, your players get accolades and move onto the NFL.

The 3 years under LaVell that we started 5-0?

2:18pm

Yes, LaVell 3x, Kalani 3x, Crowton, Bronco.

Impossible. Kalani is awful.

Definitely not awful, but he has had more losing seasons than Bronco and LaVell

Inconsistent

Is it also the hardest 5 opponents to get to 5-0? potentially too subjective

That 2021 schedule was pretty tough

canuckchuck

Yeah I forgot who we played, that was a crazy start

Difference though 3 home games and the Vegas Arizona game (so only 1 true road)

8 times in BYU football history, with 3 of those happening in the last 5 years.

Against a MUCH harder schedule that any other BYU coach has faced

Overall, recent BYU has been like this
