Given the average quality of the opponent, you gotta look at more than just

whether we won or lost.

Would you count '11 Ole Miss as one of Bronco's best coached games? That Wazzu team didn't exactly go on to have a great season, the Arizona teams were mediocre (both of them), Sark's UW squad was mediocre (we were worse, so that's a coaching win for Bronco), Northern Iowa was FCS, etc.

IMO, it's been a crapshoot as to how ready Bronco's been to start the season.

If our defense is like it was last year, I would be worried about an average

Whachu talkin' bout, Willis? UVA's offense was awesome last season!

4/27/15 1:06pm

I fully expect our defense to be better

BYUMizzou

4/27/15 1:06pm

but that DC who was bad at his job last year is still listed as DC

icecougar

Probably because he is the defensive coordinator still.

BYUALWAYSNUM1

he's not going to be the man in charge. don't get hung up on titles

Read all the prospectus. Howell only gets the keys to Bronco's

BYUMizzou

I don't trust that...

icecougar

4/27/15 9:51pm

The defense has nowhere to go but up, especially with how young it was

southernfriedcougar

4/27/15 1:16pm

As a Nebraska fan I would agree with pretty much all of what you said.

I dunno. Pelini teams typically were slow starters.

4/27/15 1:09pm

Beginning of the season's been a crapshoot for Bronco

Crapshoot? 7-3

Week 1 is not the time to make that argument.

4/27/15 3:45pm

Mathews would have a heyday in Pelini's "We only play man coverage" defense.

HuskerFan2

4/27/15 1:11pm

Maybe. But the huskers O was very good with Tim beck as OC who is now OC at

Who do we have that should be able to run the ball besides our QB?

4/27/15 1:23pm

I like the way Algie runs. He's a beast.

thebruce

4/27/15 1:29pm

FB though. There are things lacking that need to be present with a feature back.

southernfriedcougar

4/27/15 1:32pm

JW, Algie, Hine, and Moore.

BabyOx

4/27/15 2:07pm

I hope I'm wrong...

4/27/15 2:09pm

I hope so too. Hine and Algie as a tandem are good, but not as good as having

BabyOx

He's already doing squats. I was worried, but now I think he'll be fine.

Will BYU have enough time to prepare for real depth/athletes? Tough envio too

Y4LYFE

4/27/15 1:37pm

I'd be a lot more confident if I knew there wouldn't be any missing starters due

BabyOx

4/27/15 2:19pm

My biggest question for BYU is who won't be there, and can we still compete

Flyski

If Taysom is ready to roll, I bet on BYU big in this game.

Ham

4/27/15 3:38pm

Has Taysom gone undefeated?

southernfriedcougar

4/27/15 4:28pm

We are about to get a harsh education in the gap between haves and have nots

CallingDingo

4/27/15 4:09pm

Signed Texas.

Flyski

4/27/15 4:22pm

Clever, but irrelevant

CallingDingo

4/27/15 4:27pm

How is comparing Texas irrelevant?

Because that completely kills his theory.

This game COULD be brutal, we'll see.

BabyOx

4/27/15 4:27pm

No it isn't. If it was, Pelini would still be at Nebraska.

4/27/15 4:44pm

Are we sure this dingo kid isn't a yewt?

The Nebraska Safety who transferred last year to BYU, Harvey Jackson, said that

Mike Riley's recent history in season openers can't be ignored...

whirl

4/27/15 6:37pm

I think a lot of things break BYU's way this next season in our schedule...

icecougar

4/27/15 9:45pm

Those are all things that help but make no mistake, UCLA will be a brutal game.

BabyOx

4/27/15 10:11pm

agreed. Helps that the UCLA venue draws a great BYU crowd
