And our performance since that brief period where Lavell turned football on it's ear is reflective of that. We are a solid program. We are nowhere near good enough to look down at a program like UCF just because they are new on the landscape...nor Boise for that matter...nor even Houston which should be pretty good this year...
Frankly, every team in America should look at their opponent with respect...if not, you end up with Oregon State losing to Eastern Washington, Kansas State losing to North Dakota, Michigan losing to Appalachian etc...and UCF is much, much better than any of those FCS schools.
Honestly, I don't know where you get your opinion that BYU is all that and a bag of chips. We're pretty good. We've got great tradtion. But we're not what you think we are.
