On paper, BYU should start out next season 1-0

Are the coaches the same?

And winning

At this point I have zero faith they can win a game against them.

Looks like uu is in your head as well. Hope that the team can shake it better

Benfica1

100% agree that this is BYU's best chance in a while, and probably its best

Scratch

1/8/20 12:44pm

BYU could win, but Utah's coaching is superior and general overall talent

Archaea

1/8/20 12:55pm

The talent gap is real.

RalphWiggam

1/8/20 12:53pm

Will the inexperience give BYU a chance? That's the question.

Archaea

1/8/20 12:56pm

Not QB. Or TE. LB may be close

puntersarepeople

1/8/20 1:08pm

Umm their TE looks really good.

eysikal

1/8/20 1:14pm

Pretty tough to argue that BYU has more talent at QB or TE.

Scratch

1/8/20 1:21pm

When it comes to depth probably not

puntersarepeople

1/8/20 3:15pm

So do we just count the number of guys on each roster with that position listed

Scratch

1/8/20 3:30pm

Utah's QB is a three year starter in the SEC who threw for 3,000 yards and 27TD

BrobaFett

1/8/20 1:25pm

I doubt Utah is deeper at both QB and TE

puntersarepeople

1/8/20 3:12pm

Actually, they don't. Shelley has more experience than those 2 guys combined.

Scratch

1/8/20 3:33pm

Not in depth though

puntersarepeople

1/8/20 3:39pm

And BYU doesn't have one QB that would start at Utah.

BrobaFett

1/8/20 3:45pm

Wrong. BYUs QBs are younger and better than you think

puntersarepeople

1/8/20 4:10pm

Just awesome. Do you relaize that BYU did lose when Shelley started?

Scratch

1/8/20 4:15pm

BYU is a lot better now and will have a good shot at winning if Shelley plays.

Sorry. You’re really not making sense in this thread. And I’m a BYU fan.

1/8/20 9:27pm

Not my fault you can’t follow 😉

puntersarepeople

1/8/20 9:49pm

Probably true

1/8/20 9:57pm

Utah has three guys who have thrown passes in games, just like the standard

Scratch

1/8/20 3:49pm

Depth was mentioned in the post I commented on

puntersarepeople

1/8/20 4:07pm

As was USC, Tennessee, Wisconson...

Refugee

1/8/20 2:10pm

That's the problem. Utah will take ANYBODY despite criminal history or GPA.

chazen

1/8/20 2:15pm

It's amazing that the NCAA lets Utah get around minimum qualifying requirements.

Scratch

1/8/20 2:33pm

Do they all do the work themselves?

1CougFan

1/8/20 3:33pm

No, sometimes they have them take byu correspondence classes.

BayUte

1/8/20 4:09pm

That's how you guys got Star Lotulelei and a bazillion other players. Star

chazen

1/8/20 11:22pm

Give it up already. Out of high school he couldn’t go ANYWHERE because he didn’t

Scratch

1/9/20 12:01am

Star had 1 option out of HS. BYU as a nonqualifier. I am a little surprised

ALUF 1990

1/9/20 11:37am

No, because BYU wasn't Indy yet, so BYU was in the same boat as Utah at the time

the good news is BYU starts 0-0, you know, undefeated

Vegas will have us as dogs on paper.

1/8/20 1:18pm

Nah.

BrobaFett

1/8/20 1:24pm

IF only it was that simple. Cuz if true, Utah never should have won a game in the 90s or 2000s based on that.

1/8/20 1:47pm

Utah was a lot more talented in the 90's and 00's than you admit.

BrobaFett

1/8/20 2:05pm

No, I was just doing the same eval you did. Utah had talent, BYU had more back then overall. But still lost games.

1/8/20 2:21pm

I don't understand your stance.

BrobaFett

1/8/20 3:49pm

????? 2000s Utah put more guys in the NFL. 1990s about equal. Utah went

ALUF 1990

1/9/20 1:11pm

Rising’s never played. SC guy didn’t but play at Utah. Vastly overrated the QBs

puntersarepeople

1/8/20 3:27pm

When was the last time BYU had a Qb throw for 3,000 yards and 27 TD's?

BrobaFett

1/8/20 3:52pm

And our backup was offered a scholarship there.

Epps was a HS All American at Mater Dei. He offsets a talented freshman CB for

Oregon offered him.

After his sophomore year. And then stopped recruiting him shortly thereafter

1/8/20 6:33pm

MWC recruit is an inaccurate judgement. Most recruiters said a PAC12 team would

Yep. Fantastic high school receiver.

And much better recruit than you give him credit for

1/8/20 10:02pm

I'm glad you're better at evaluating talent than D-1 coaches. And I do think

BYU has some very good TEs behind bushman so

1CougFan

1/9/20 12:11pm

Nope. Whittingham is Utah’s coach and we have Kalani.

arizonacougarfan

1/8/20 1:29pm

And BYU has too many fans like this.

Benfica1

1/8/20 1:54pm

Just the truth there

wilsdad

1/8/20 6:50pm

Kalani is contracted by Utah to lose, so BYU loses

YSeattle

1/8/20 1:34pm

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 9 times in a row, shame on me.

1/8/20 1:41pm

On paper, BYU should have split the decade with wins vs. the yewties. But . . . .

lightmann

1/8/20 1:46pm

That highly graded OL couldn't be trusted to get a 3rd and 2 push.

Completely agree. On third and short, throughout the year,

I think you may have missed the news about their grad transfer QB coming in

It’ll Ben his first game playing for Utah. And he’s not duel threat. He may not

Good points, go ahead and expect to lose.

I think you represent a hefty segment of the fanbase in Utah.

Don’t worry, we’ll find a way like we always do.

D.T. Survivor

1/8/20 8:44pm

Better chance than being up by 20 in the 3rd Q?

2FarGone

1/8/20 9:37pm

Impossible. BYU should start out 2-2

1/8/20 11:05pm

I lost you at “ BYU is returning one of the highest pff graded O-Lines”

I agree. I thought the O-line underperformed. Though I know they had good times

On paper, how many BYU players would start at Utah??? 3 or 4?

kafusi, lb.

jwf

1/9/20 7:34am

Yep, agree here. In Utah's D, I would think Lloyd and Kaufusi would start at LB.

Bushman wouldn’t start, assuming 1 TE starter. He’d play a lot, rotating with
