We'll still win 8-9 games - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

I predicted 8-4 before the season started due to the loss of so much Senior Leadership.

Tonight's loss is explained very simple: A terrible and S-L-O-W starting secondary was exposed and an undisciplined Offensive Line making the same mistakes over and over and over again.

Clean those things up and we'll be very good.

I still love Max Halls progress. I expected him to have some growing pains this year...especially early on.....the OL kills us with penalties all night....the Secondary gets smoked all night.....and yet Max even with his mistakes and turnovers led the offense to 47 points.

Max Hall is going to be a great one.

I'll say it now.....we roll AFA next week...win by 2 TD's minimum.

I think 8 - 4 is possible...

A few adjustments in the secondary and some mental discipline from the offense...

I didn't see the game but judging by what I've heard and looking at the score, it seems like BYU did a fair job of hanging in there despite the problems.

It's not like it was a blowout... 1 TD and a 2pt conversion and you'd have been in OT.

Rocky -

Thanks for the kind words over on utefans. Was this the game that you attended? If so, you picked a good one.

Yes I was there. I left with about 7 min left so I could get home in time to watch the BYU game.
