More talent in the trenches.

Our defensive and offensive lines have been very mediocre. IMO we've never had more talent at our skill positions, but they can only take you so far. Look at all the top 10 programs. Those teams are built around their lines. Except for maybe Oregon, whom everyone saw struggle badly against a dominant Ohio State D-Line.

Oh, and an elite secondary definitely wouldn't hurt.

What do we need to make BYU a top 10 (or better) football team?

we have the coach but only parts of the staff

We had 5 losses three years in a row. It's going to take more than one player

The QB can't do it all. He needs a good o-line and a solid defense,

Fielding a good defense along with a good offense. We need

a top 10 means 11-1 this season...that will require taysom healthy every game,

oh, and we need mathews, kurtz, blackmon, etc to all step up and be playmakers

Jamaal. He is the 2nd biggest name, always. He has to be healthy.

Consistently top 10?

Get in a P5, which will immediately help recruiting

4/1/15 2:32pm

Functionally done.

Almost, but BYU is not playiing for any conference titles.

4/1/15 3:31pm

Nor do we get the money we so desperately need.

OptimisTIC

I don't think BYU is as desperate for money as many P5 schools are.

4/1/15 3:44pm

Why do you think BYU keeps hiring no-experience coaches...

OptimisTIC

Those are decisions BYU makes

If we want to be top-20 most years, top-10 every few years . . .

Consistently top 10 programs are sending multiple guys off both the O and D

Part of that is a virtuous cycle, though

Special teams need to be way better than what they are.

you are absolutely correct and history proves it. QB is critical.

Bluforever

Those elite QBs need an elite offensive line

2FarGone

4/1/15 2:41pm

We need some HOGS on the front line that can blow up a defensive push...

A creative, elite coach that is committed to staying at BYU long-term

Not sure I buy the harder schedule argument
