just a guess. Taysom is better than when he played those teams, sure. But what about the surrounding cast? I have made the case a few times that players do not always get better (Heaps, Jorgensen). Against top tier teams Taysom can't save us unless something else on the team gets better than when we played those teams.

What is your realistic BYU football prediction this year?

I agree

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

A healthy Taysom couldn't beat Wisconsin nor ND. So I just look at teams that

You don't think he has improved from 2013?

To be fair the offense stunk in 2013 once Mitch Matthews got hurt 1Q vs Wisc

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?

Taysom is better than you realize

I live in Nebraska. New Coach and new system for the players. The Nebraska D

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

Y4LYFE

7/31/15 8:02am

But can the offense score 34+ ppg?

SUAVO

7/31/15 8:04am

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

7/31/15 8:08am

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.

Wingnut

I hope they win every game.

foofcoug

7/31/15 8:19am

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

jreid191

7/31/15 8:26am

12-0

Here we go (12-game records only)

Wow, if it plays out like that...

7/31/15 10:05am

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

LifeLongLakerFan

7/31/15 8:33am

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

10-3 with taysom

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

AFcoug7

7/31/15 9:11am

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

7/31/15 9:22am

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

7/31/15 9:24am

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?

coastcat

7/31/15 9:30am

11-2 is realistic ? hahahahaha

10 and 3

5-7

Healthy Taysom means double digit wins, period.

PapaBill

7/31/15 10:47am

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

7/31/15 11:03am

Healthy Hill still needs a defense.

I daren't venture a guess
