We showed up in some huge games this year. It’s not like we didn’t show up in any games. The last losses were tough breaks as well and we were in both of them.

Boise has what BYU lacks

Dec 6, 7:24pm

A weak conference?

Dec 6, 7:27pm

5-2 vs Utes in the Pac12. 8-4 vs Independent BYU. Big wins vs P5/P4 teams. Hate

Completely different to show up for 1 or 2 games a year.

what do you think BSU’s record would be in the big 12 this year?

JOPE

Dec 6, 7:33pm

I agree. They’re better than all but the top 4.

bluecougar1985

Dec 6, 7:34pm

Agree… Probably about 8-4 ceiling.

BoiseBlueCoug

Dec 6, 7:35pm

5-4 in conference

CougFan4EverEver

Dec 6, 7:37pm

Maybe 6-3 with a favorable schedule.

bluecougar1985

Dec 6, 7:43pm

They'd probably run the table just like that other rookie B12 powerhouse, Utah.

PGVikingDad

Man we sound so much like Alabama fans saying "What do you really think BYU's record would be in the SEC"

krindorr

Dec 6, 10:03pm

Which Big-12 teams would have played Oregon closer than BSU did?

Les IsMore

that week of the season, all of them except houston

Depends on the schedule. They are a similar level to the top 4 big 12 teams

They weren’t 5-2 against Utah while they were in the Pac12.

BYU '80

Utah was beating us over the same span

Among the least popular things to point out on Cougarboard: Boise beat us 2/3

Sadly, you are absolutely right!

The record all time against byu is accurate, and you are straining at gnats

BoiseBlueCoug

Dec 7, 7:22am

Like they won at Oregon this year or beat all those p4 teams last year?

kaladin58

Dec 7, 7:29am

The record all-time is not accurate either. I just told you BYU has 5 wins

andrewg3

Dec 7, 8:21am

Had the same thought when Huard said "they seem to know what's at stake"

Timeout Husbander

Dec 6, 7:27pm

True we've never had Ashton Jeanty

TO11

Dec 6, 7:27pm

We had a Luke Staley and a similar record.

Malathion

The same record actually. We were 12-1 going into bowl season. We would have

Nope, but I have a problem with people who jump to conclusions

I hate to be 'that guy", but this is the MWC.

Dec 6, 7:32pm

Yes, the same MWC that possibly is going to walk into a 4 team playoff and Big12 might be left out

I think that's the SEC & B1G trying to undermine the B12 credibility.

And we'd definitely beat teams that UNLV beat. Like Kansas, right?
