I remember my mom told me "You can't win them all."
it wasn't the least bit comforting.
Against UTEP, you should win them all.

Unlike others, I don't really care how Bronco communicates things. To me, it's

I'm with you. The head coaching has been poor to mediocre and leaves plenty

You can be a jerk like Nick Saban - if you win!

The last few years have been worse due to OL and lack of consistency of QB.

USU is similar to UTEP in '85. We were ranked,

No. UTEP was much worse.

Not much worse

You made some very good points but Bronco said this was the deepest team

When was the last game all our planned starting defenders were in place?
BYUFam1
11/20/14 6:36am
Every team deals with starters being out. Our team was exposed because

Did you get your feelers hurt

No - probably would get my feelings hurt if you stopped

I have never felt like you ever tried to have a conversation

We probably would be 10-0 or at least 8-2 right now if Taysom were healthy

The defense is "getting better" against unimpressive offenses. It gave up

Bronco's body of work on D and level of talent...
rcl17
11/20/14 7:06am
To an extent, I agree with you about body of work when Bronco is the DC.

exactly, we're in the area of the schedule where everyone gets all happy with

Losing Taysom hurt, but we can't just use the injury cop out

I'm happy to do so when our playmakers are the side lines

Yeah the D is bad but it's a team effort

I don't feel any better about the team after winning the last two weeks

USU responded great after losing 10 starters and down to their 4th string QB
RockyBalboa
11/20/14 8:07am
Hopefully we are not insinuating that BYU faced that 4th string QB
BYUFam1
11/20/14 9:57am
USU is winning games with their 4th string QB & 10 starters out
RockyBalboa

Just clarifying - as I hoped I understood what you were saying...

Okay?

This is beyond crazy to me

Nope that isn't the point. The point is the no good BYU could have sustained

Agree injuries affect it. Disagree that we should be optimistic though.

It's not as good as you want to believe it is either...

Cause losing to USU, UNR, curb stomped my Boise and losing to a poor UCF...

6+ wins is a "bad season", it's not nearly as bad as you think
binghammer
11/20/14 12:01pm
LOL... you are seriously funny

11/20/14 12:17pm
No, you're funny, the very fact that you think I am happy with 6 wins

That so many fans are satisfied says a lot about the state of the program
spinner
11/20/14 11:05am
Hardly anyone is "satisfied". Almost everyone is disappointed
binghammer
11/20/14 11:25am
I don't know - rcl17's post sounded pretty satisfied

So what changed from Bronco pre-2010 to now that was so
binghammer

The last 5 seasons evidence a pattern

It all goes back to the QB
binghammer
11/20/14 11:54am
If we need a Heisman candidate at qb to be competitive, we won't be good often
spinner
11/20/14 11:56am
Not a Heisman, we have only ever had one of those
binghammer
11/20/14 12:00pm
Then my comment still applies
spinner
11/20/14 12:11pm
We will probably continue to be what we have been over the past 40 years or so
binghammer
11/20/14 12:16pm
If you find the last 5 years satisfying, then carry on

What ranking do you consider to be average? Our rankings have been about top 25%

We are consistently rated in the top 50 teams in Sagarin, even now

We have a had a tough and disappointing year. We do not have a bad program.
