It certainly hasn't been since the eighties since we were "above" Utah St.

Bronco had a solid win record against Utah St. and won about half the Boise games that last few years he was here. We should be on par with the best of the MWC. We are not superior to the Utes anymore, but we are good enough to beat them. The first three quarters of last year should tell you that much.

I love Kalani the person. The record against our rivals is embarrassing though.

His home record is awful as well.

This is my biggest beef with Kalani so far. LES used to be a huge advantage and it seems like that has died.

Pimpin4Paradise

10-8 home record.

theJuice

5/2/19 12:03pm

7-8 vs FBS opponents, 3-7 the last two years

BYU Fan

ya that is pretty bad.

theJuice

3-7 with loss to UMASS

Coogar2

Bronco was 57-11 at LES. Crotwon was 14-10.

SpiffCoug

So far Crowton was better than Kalani. Ouch

Coogar2

5/2/19 3:22pm

That's not good

Did you prefer Bronco's strategy of losing big against ALL of these opponents? Admittedly Kalani has not been excellent

Pimpin4Paradise

5/2/19 10:45am

Im pretty sure the majority of Broncos losses to Utah were all within one score.

Revisionist history

It's not even revisionist history, he's just making stuff up.

Good point.

Oh, so Kalani's predecessor is off limits when measuring Kalani's effectiveness? That seems weird.

Pimpin4Paradise

5/2/19 11:57am

Should be ‘Kalani’s lack of effectiveness’

Helm Hammerhand

5/2/19 1:07pm

Bronco far exceeded what Kalani has accomplished in every single metric

BYU once scored 28 unanswered points vs Utah.

KS hasn't even been poor. He aspires to poor.

coolblue

5/2/19 12:12pm

When was the last time Kalani scored 28 unanswered against a rival?

theJuice

5/2/19 12:41pm

Not a good idea to compare Kalani against Bronco. Bronco is better the last two

Coogar2

5/2/19 1:17pm

Yes, I'd love for BYU to consistently win home games first, then local teams....

Benfica1

5/2/19 10:48am

There is hope. The roster was pretty young the past 2 years.

Richbyu

5/2/19 11:09am

You have to realize - Kalani is not a good coach

TeeKaa

5/2/19 11:14am

IIRC, BYU was only favored in one of those 8 losses. In fact, in most BYU wasn't expected to even have a chance

slatecoug

5/2/19 11:40am

The reason we are not expected to win is another reflection of the poor quality

here's to hoping

5/2/19 12:22pm

It has more to do with the caliber of players within the program he inherited

slatecoug

5/2/19 3:15pm

BUT BUT BUT that first year we had Taysom, JW, and Kai!

GOR

5/2/19 9:27pm

Yep. BYU was having to heavily rely on a lot of underclassmen that second year, including many true freshmen

Do you honestly believe that a Sr. Hill/Sr. Williams team under Anae would

BOOHOLE

5/4/19 12:59am

Yes. I do. I think the only loss I could confidently turn to a win is UCLA.

The 2016 defense was more aggressive with Tuiaki and turned teams over as a

5/4/19 9:47am

Bronco-recruited teams were able to follow the general rule I suggested while

here's to hoping

5/3/19 11:27pm

Even when USU is 11-2 and has their best year ever?

puntersarepeople

5/2/19 9:33pm

There may be exceptions, but 1-8 against rivals is not following the general

here's to hoping

5/3/19 11:18pm

So even Vegas knows that USU is better than BYU

Coogar2

5/2/19 1:12pm

They also had BYU beating Cal and losing to WI.

Benfica1

5/2/19 1:17pm

That is a very weak attempt at a counterpoint.

slatecoug

5/2/19 3:16pm

Everyone in Ogden believes USU will beat BYU

Coogar2

5/2/19 3:19pm

That is your point. Then clearly they know nothing about football either

slatecoug

5/2/19 3:24pm

atleast we beat Wisconsin.

5/2/19 11:47am

I'm not a Kalani defender, but TBF those teams were all better than BYU.

vagabonder

5/2/19 11:54am

TBF, the reason those teams were better is because of poor coaching.

here's to hoping

5/2/19 12:24pm

Since when was it OK for USU to be better than BYU. It ain't OK

Coogar2

5/2/19 1:12pm

LOL, the reason they are clearly better is in large part due to our coach!

kimdaddy35

5/2/19 1:23pm

Exactly

Coogar2

5/2/19 3:20pm

It’s not the 80’s anymore. Adjust your expectations and you’ll be fine.

BOOHOLE

5/2/19 12:12pm

I don't think we are above them. But I also don't want to believe we are below

theJuice

5/2/19 12:16pm

We were above them...

BOOHOLE

5/2/19 12:20pm

It certainly hasn't been since the eighties since we were "above" Utah St.

here's to hoping

5/2/19 12:27pm

This will be a make or break year.

5/2/19 12:22pm

I don't know that our record this year will be indicative of improvement though,

theJuice

5/2/19 12:28pm

It's the eye test. Does BYU compete in the trenches like they did vs Wisconsin?

Ash

5/2/19 12:37pm

Until we played the other UW: Washington.

Brigham

5/2/19 12:50pm

Yeah well that team had the skill players as well. Wisky didn't have that.

Ash

5/2/19 12:52pm

How would you compare this schedule to 2015?

BYU Fan

5/2/19 12:39pm

6-6 is my predictions (5-7 is realistic as well).

BOOHOLE

5/2/19 12:42pm

6-6 is reasonable. 7-5 is good. 8-4 is outstanding warranting hoisting Kalani

FanofBYU

5/2/19 1:27pm

Bronco didn't do BYU many favors with regard to OLine and DLine talent prior

Richbyu

5/2/19 12:41pm

We also had no development behind senior skill players

GOR

5/2/19 9:30pm

This year will tell the story better than the last 3.

This is the year to judge what he can do. No more excuses

Under KS, the team is having a hard time “staying woke” and “protecting LaVell’s

Run-DMT

What does "staying woke" mean in relation to football?

2FarGone

Is one of their key goals really, "staying woke?" Lol if true.

doups3

Ya it is. And it is truly hilarious. Great question.

They only set these goals last year I believe

the manner of some of these losses has been tough to swallow
