GRAPHIC: Comparing the first 10 years of Bronco and LaVell

waberson

Bronco fields a team of below-average athletes that consistently wins games

Nice job on the graphic design.

Veracruz

The metric that counts

It's just looking at the first 10 years for each of them. So '72-'82 for LaVell

Utah was not a good team back then. Easy win.

Cougarclaw

Utah didn't become competitive until they hired Ron McBride.

BeardedSpock

7/7/15 9:11am

This comparison won't look even after 12 years. Lavell had BYU on a steep upward

ALUF 1990

7/7/15 3:28am

I could agree if Bronco had taken over directly from Lavell. But Crowton.

panguitch

7/7/15 8:32am

Bronco inherited excellent

7/7/15 11:49am

Most of the defensive players from 2006-2009 were his recruits

Littlerich

7/7/15 12:02pm

Somewhat true. Most of the stars in '05, '06, and '07 weren't his recruits.

7/7/15 12:04pm

Bronco had a better starting point thanks to Lavell's legacy. But

panguitch

7/7/15 12:19pm

It was three years of mismanagement, and major honor code issues.

7/7/15 12:37pm

BYU's "steep upward trajectory" ended in 1985

BeardedSpock

7/7/15 9:08am

Twice, 1990 and 1996... there were also some tremendous wins on the national

7/7/15 10:19am

Ugh. 1990. Nationally relevant to the point of a 65-14 shellacking in the bowl..

BarraCouga

7/7/15 10:36am

We spent two-thirds of the season in the Top 5 and our QB won the Heisman.

7/7/15 11:23am

What's the old saying...it's not where you start, it's where you finish?

BarraCouga

7/7/15 11:34am

It wasn't just the last two games of 1990. The first three of 1991 were awful

BeardedSpock

7/7/15 1:07pm

Why, why, WHY did you post that?

BeardedSpock

7/7/15 12:57pm

How do you explain away 5 ranked finishes, a Heisman trophy, a Top 5 bowl

Cimsidering bm took nover a top 25 program amd lavell built one!

7/7/15 4:02am

Gary Crowton did not leave a top 25 program.

Wingnut

7/7/15 5:18am

Bronco didn't take over a top 25 program

WhiteKnight

7/7/15 9:40am

Yes he did he didn't take o er a top 25 team

7/8/15 6:34pm

Bronco has finished ranked in 5 of 10 years.

BarraCouga

7/7/15 4:40am

Great, now Bronco needs a Natl Championship & Heisman winner in next 10 years

7/7/15 6:58am

Critics? How about honest analysis? Lets start with your surface stats...

LEDSFW

7/7/15 7:23am

Let's add a little more honesty to your honest analysis.

Blue Cat

7/8/15 3:50pm

Thanks for those details. I love both, but think Bronco gets rough treatment...

eyes4byu

7/10/15 1:05pm

9-1 vs 3-6 says it all imo..

Heinz57

7/7/15 8:36am

I'm as discontent as anyone with Bronco's rivalry record. But

panguitch

7/7/15 8:42am

Lavell's record against the Utes during his first 19 seasons: 17-2

BeardedSpock

7/7/15 9:03am

Except Lavell had a hard time beating Utah State during his first 10 years.

BeardedSpock

7/7/15 9:00am

LaVell beat Utah and USU, so your point is what now?

Heinz57

7/7/15 2:19pm

You guys can't be this myopic

CasualFan

7/8/15 7:44am

LaVell still had a winning record against Utah, Bronco hasn't

Heinz57

7/8/15 12:17pm

Not in his last 9 games...

BarraCouga

7/8/15 12:34pm

You missed...

Heinz57

7/8/15 1:19pm

That's just lazy and contains no context.

BarraCouga

7/8/15 2:33pm

Watch out for "what ifs". Bronco is 4 miracle plays away from 0-9 against Utah

ALUF 1990

7/8/15 2:48pm

And he's also a play or two away from being 7-2.

BarraCouga

7/8/15 3:50pm

The point wasn't missed.

CasualFan

7/8/15 1:04pm

Even in all of LaVell seasons

Heinz57

7/8/15 1:21pm

Again...if you want to get as close as possible comparing apples to apples...

BarraCouga

7/8/15 2:37pm

Utter garbage

CasualFan

7/8/15 3:41pm

Record against Yewts really stands out

MajorZeus

7/7/15 8:47am

Not really. The Utes were New Mexico State in those years.

BarraCouga

7/7/15 9:11am

So you are satisfied with our recent performance against Utah? Pathetic.

MajorZeus

7/7/15 9:21am

Hmmm...not sure where you got that ludicrous assertion.

BarraCouga

7/7/15 9:31am

At the end of the day it is about wins and losses. Recruiting, invites, and

MajorZeus

7/7/15 10:43am

I don't obsess about Utah.

BarraCouga

7/7/15 11:06am

You sound like Bronco...just another game. It does matter for recruiting. Utah

MajorZeus

7/7/15 12:29pm

Again...to channel Inigo Montoya..."I dunno think I said what you said I said."

BarraCouga

7/7/15 1:05pm

So we agree...every game matters.

MajorZeus

7/7/15 1:13pm

ECHO...ECHo...ECho...Echo...echo...

BarraCouga

7/7/15 1:21pm

Lavell played SEVEN top-25 teams. bronco played 19 top 25 teams

Cougarclaw

7/7/15 8:52am

7 top 25 games versus 19 top 25 games, combined with similar w/l record means La

eyes4byu

7/7/15 11:03am

In other words, only 24 of Bronco's losses were to teams not in the top 25...

eyes4byu

7/7/15 11:06am

Lavell's top win was against #1 Miami, no?

WhiteKnight

7/7/15 9:37am

...first 10 years, duh, sorry

WhiteKnight

7/7/15 9:38am

RE: Go Figure!

7/7/15 9:58am

you have zero NC for Lavell. That's wrong

paulb

7/7/15 11:53am

ah, may have missed you were only picking certain years.....

paulb

7/7/15 11:54am

Yes, if by selective, he was comparing Bronco's entire coaching record to date..

gmj81

not sure if sarcastic or not.....
