2013 - Loss at home vs. E.Washington 46-49

2011 - Loss at home vs. Sac State. 28-29 OT

Not sure what it was, but he sure struggled getting the Beavers to play well in their first game against less than mediocre competition.

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!

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

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

4/27/15 9:37pm

I don't trust that...

icecougar

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.

Turnpike Lane

Beginning of the season's been a crapshoot for Bronco

Left Shark Coug

4/27/15 1:20pm

Crapshoot? 7-3

Turnpike Lane

4/27/15 2:08pm

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

Left Shark Coug

4/27/15 2:19pm

Week 1 is not the time to make that argument.

Turnpike Lane

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

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?

Smoke Monster

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...

Smoke Monster

4/27/15 2:09pm

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

BabyOx

4/27/15 2:13pm

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

Left Shark Coug

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

4/27/15 2:20pm

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?

imfear2000

Because that completely kills his theory.

BYUALWAYSNUM1

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.

Turnpike Lane

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

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
