This is silly. The UCLA and Tulsa games exposed two things about BYU.
1. We have a QB in his first year as a starter 2. We have a bad secondary We knew both of these things going into the season. I don't see why everyone is so surprised. |

No. There was a defensive breakdown, due to the talent level BYU has. I'll give him a mulligan after what he's done to mask the defensive weaknesses over the past year. If they've been playing above their talent level on such a consistent basis, is it really that big of a negative that a good offensive team exposed it?

I don't blame the defense per se. I blame the defensive coach. It was mental breakdowns, not athleticism that did us in.

Yeah, very true. Everybody take you're hands of the strings; well, everbody but you SU, go ahead and pull away.

How about Texas A&M when Marc Wilson was QB? Or Notre Dame in South Bend under Holtz? Or Arizona State under Frank Kush before ASU and UA went to the PAC 10? Or several games in the '84 season? Or even Utah in Lavell's last regular season game?

IOW, none of those outside of possibly the vague ASU/UA example qualifies under the "better team" clause that Mike Waters stated. Last edited by Indy Coug; 09-18-2007 at 11:38 AM. |
