I'm not going to discount that was a factor in his regression.

You also have to factor in horrible coaching (which may or may not have been improved this year) and Williams playing through injuries.

Three of our WRs run sub 4.4s

None of your WR run sub 4.4s.

He meant when timed with Ute stopwatches. Those always shave off a little time.

I rewatched the 2016 game again and was impressed with Troy Williams

He got worse as the season wore on, and there's a reason for that:

Lackluster? Oh come on buddy, at least do a little research.

I agree that BYU's receivers are as untested as Utah's secondary.

Utah returns over 1000 receiving yards if we include the TEs.

True, but who are those receivers going up against? That's the entire point

Rise Against

7/31/17 3:37pm

Zero experience is absolutely false.

Portland Ute

7/31/17 3:41pm

You do realize that we have our own fair share of 4* players in our secondary?

Rise Against

7/31/17 3:45pm

I'd take Troy Warner.

Portland Ute

7/31/17 3:59pm

Also, name the "fair share of 4* guys" in your secondary

Portland Ute

7/31/17 4:09pm

We have 3 just in our secondary. See post below. SMH.

Rise Against

7/31/17 4:15pm

Okay. Your defensive backs are more talented than Utah's.

Portland Ute

7/31/17 4:23pm

Oh, and Mangum is clearly much better than Troy Williams.

Portland Ute

7/31/17 4:27pm

The WR edge is to Utah by a wide margin.

Assuming Carrington can stay out of jail....

We only have to keep him clean for 6 weeks for it to matter in this game.

Trinnaman only had 1 TD vs the back end of BYU's schedule?

How is that wrong? Ballard is a transfer and has zero experience at Utah.

You know, I'll admit this right now.

I give you guys the edge in terms of talent and demonstrated coaching.
