might be at that level. UCLA, Boise, Missouri, and maybe Nebraska are all close to that level. So I say 4 losses if Taysom stays healthy all year and the D is slightly better.

What is your realistic BYU football prediction this year?

Healthy Taysom, we win 8-9 games. If Taysom goes down early on, we win 4-5.

You don't think he has improved from 2013?

Of course he has, but the past is all we have to go on. Anything else is just

Playing in subarctic conditions against Notre Dame didn't help, either

True, a sophomore Taysom in a first year offense with an extremely young o-line

What makes everyone think we will beat Nebraska and BSU?

Even with a healthy Taysom this D will give up 34+ ppg. 7 wins + a bowl loss

But can the offense score 34+ ppg?

SUAVO

You do realize that would make the D 6 pts/gm worse than last year, right?

Last year we gave up 27 a game....

Am I alone in expecting significant improvement from the defense?

I think 10-3 is probably realistic with a healthy Taysom all season.

Healthy TH and we're 10-3 - UCLA, Missouri, and one other game where we lose the

Healthy Taysom, we win 9-10 games. If Taysom goes down early on, we win 7-8.

I hope they win every game.

10-3 is my best estimate.

byujacob

7/31/15 8:20am

I think BYU's capable of going 10-3 w/ the bowl game, though an 8-5 record

12-0

Re our Defense, a healthy Taysom will help much in that area

Taysom has to learn to score quickly though too. Just extending drives every

Why are people so high on UCLA? Pac-12 refs?

BigYfan

7/31/15 9:01am

Realistically? 9-4. Optimistically? 10-3. Our D isn't good enough for 11-12 wins

I see another 8-5 year, losses to the good teams and one head-scratcher again

Healthy Taysom... 7-5... without Taysom... 5 win's max.

Smoke Monster

10-3 with healthy Taysom, if he goes down early, struggle to get to 6 wins

mjmill

7/31/15 9:26am

Focus should be on defense! 6 wins. The offense will be good. The defense a?

Healthy Taysom means double digit wins, period.

PapaBill

This morning I would have said between 8 and 10 wins.

Healthy Hill still needs a defense.
