BYU was a few plays away from being a 7 win team

A few plays away from 12-0 too

WJCougar

12/21/24 12:21pm

Fact remains… this isn’t a dominating team and there is plenty of room

Big12Yfan

Yep - every team in the country could say the same

Lots of teams are being very active in the portal

Big12Yfan

Is the portal closed? Are our coaches not trying?

Umm…Utah is bringing in G5 guys after losing their best & TT is losing a ton…

We brought in a FCS guy

Let's look at this factually and not just through your lens of pessimism.

12/21/24 4:11pm

Did Dampier play at a high level? For the 5-7 Lobos? Yet they’re stoked…

arcawley

12/21/24 4:27pm

They got the QB from Oklahoma and Wilson back

Big12Yfan

12/21/24 5:48pm

And? They brought in 3 QB’s and only one will start 💁

Tons of FCS transfers to FBS. Many FBS transfers come with star ratings but could get PT (see ours). Texas’ game

No, not you. He wasn't replying to you.

TheLoneCougar

12/21/24 9:51pm

No. But they were standout players at Weber. Dampier was not a standout QB

arcawley

12/21/24 8:16pm

Nor was he from the FCS. I think you're confused on this thread, my friend.

Similar kind of player is the implication

Utah lost lots of talent in the portal. We didn’t. First priority of coaches is to build a program that develops and

Sorry you’re so disappointed by the results of our Vegas-predicted 4.5 wins in 2024.

Fewer plays needed to get BYU to 12-0 than 7-5.

You’re not wrong, but 10-2 is the record BYU deserved.

Kinda hypocritical tbh

So your fandom involves policing other fans? What's the point?

Your fandom involves policing other fans based on the post i responded to.
