What specific reasons make you feel optimistic about BYU football in 2017?

Mathlete

Time has taken a toll on my memory of 2016. Optimism springs eternal.

Ty freaking Detmer

MajorZeus

3/27/17 5:18pm

I felt the same way until I saw our offense last year #trainwreck

Mathlete

3/27/17 5:19pm

Opportunities, yes. Train wreck, no. Swaggy was awesome and we had moments

MajorZeus

3/27/17 5:28pm

the passing offense was historically bad.

ag4cougs

3/27/17 6:04pm

It's true

Holy Driver

3/27/17 8:44pm

Mostly due to an average ol and a subpar qb imo. It's fixable.

Backcountry

3/27/17 8:51pm

Much worse teams with much worse OLs/QBs passed the ball better.

ag4cougs

3/27/17 10:21pm

So after just last year, you're willing to consider Detmer as OC a bust?

SoCalCoug

3/27/17 5:35pm

No, but I wouldn't say Detmer is a reason to be optimistic.

Mathlete

3/27/17 5:37pm

Sure he is. When he gets his personnel.

Why didn't Brigham Young have the Salt Lake temple completed by 1850? These guys

Q-grr

3/27/17 7:32pm

That is the nature of the business. Do you want to wait 40 years?

joFan

3/27/17 10:15pm

Obviously not, but I don't want Urban Meyer either.

Q-grr

3/28/17 12:39pm

I would take Urban Meyer

joFan

3/28/17 12:46pm

Of course, he would not represent what BYU is about and that's ok for some, even

Offense that kept us in every single game was that disappointing huh?

extremely

You saw only part of the offensive package last year. Don't forget that.

What the!?

Gerald-DeGroot

3/27/17 6:38pm

looks like the defense is every bit as opportunistic now as last year. That doesn't appear to be a fluke

MaxxPower

3/27/17 5:26pm

And if the defense is as good as we think it is, the offense is getting some high level looks

MaxxPower

3/27/17 5:27pm

We are not installing new systems on both sides of the ball. Coaches and...

friscokid

3/27/17 5:27pm

I agree. Typically teams are better the year after the year they learned how to do something.

MaxxPower

3/27/17 5:28pm

This I can buy into

Mathlete

3/27/17 5:37pm

We are turning into a utah type team. Solid defense, and suspect offense....

idacoug

3/27/17 5:33pm

And that makes you optimistic? That's really strange.

Lance71

3/27/17 5:35pm

It's awesome

Backcountry

3/27/17 5:36pm

better than with bronco, thats for sure

idacoug

3/27/17 5:37pm

I think our offense will improve, but maybe not this year.

vagabonder

3/27/17 5:48pm

One of the reasons our defense did so well was ball cntrl offense.

keoki

3/27/17 5:54pm

It amazes me how many fail to recognize this

Bgash

3/27/17 10:51pm

We won't really see what this offense can be until Tanners SR year

friscokid

3/27/17 6:23pm

Guys with lower ceilings than him so there's no guarantee

southernfriedcougar

3/27/17 6:27pm

Never any guarantees but I think Wilstead has a high ceiling

friscokid

3/27/17 6:31pm

He does. And I actually think Dinkelmann does as well if he really puts in the

southernfriedcougar

3/27/17 6:37pm

Especially guys who spent a year not being interested in learning the offense

Mathlete

3/27/17 6:42pm

Sheesh. Give him time to 1) roll out the entire offense, and 2) give eventual

RebelScum

3/27/17 7:01pm

Line of scrimmage depth and coaching. And kalani

Backcountry

3/27/17 5:35pm

Better personnel. More likely make 4th & 19 from the goal line.

CougarThug

3/27/17 5:38pm

Kalani Sitake, because he says all the right things.

Brisco

3/27/17 5:48pm

Matt Bushman.

Crush4

3/27/17 5:51pm

It's a new season. 13 & oh! baby!

lightmann

3/27/17 6:20pm

You mean 15-0, right?

trom2foot3

3/27/17 6:40pm

our corners will be better experienced (and bigger/faster) and our LB's are as good as any set in the NCAA

HarlemCoug

3/27/17 6:21pm

Deliberately ignoring enough things to become optimistic

Indy Coug

3/27/17 6:28pm

We have an awesome D (especially LB), a stud QB, some actual talent at TE, and

cougaman

3/27/17 6:45pm

...........Fred Warner is really good I guess.

Gerald-DeGroot

3/27/17 7:53pm

Throwing the ball down field! Mangum may have tried to squeeze a few passes

Let's Go Bucs

3/27/17 9:07pm

The defense.

Squally, Butch, Linehan,

conetah

3/27/17 11:24pm

I think the DL could be better

Jericho

3/27/17 11:26pm

DL depth looked pretty good in spring scrimage. Has me hopeful.

Specific reasons for me

It's the offseason. It's what we do.

El Pasco

As I am each and every year, I am cautiously optimistic
