New ground for Mendenhall to manage expectations. Does the BCS actually help BYU in that the collective national angst against it has the press scouring the countryside for some unfairly marginalized team to overhype? Given that in college football perception has a big impact on ranking, glory and adulation perhaps.

Personally, it is going to be a fun year where BYU is going to win a heck of a lot of games again, but how I worry for many in BYU's fanbase when that first loss comes.

I do think BYU has a good chance of upsetting Iowa in the opening game..won't that be great to have Hayden Fry and Hawkeyes in LES? Revenge for Ty's errant throw, baby! I'll be '71 had hard nipples thinking of that matchup!
