Anonymous B12 coach on BYU in 2023

It all hinges on the 20+ transfers they've pulled in this year

Indy Coug

6/7/23 10:09am

What it doesn't discuss is the absolute horrific DC BYU had for the past seven

TrueBlue67

I think the D's potential is the X-factor that opponents/media writers are not..

Das_Countach

That's what I was thinking. They may be surprized by our D.

But even on offense, which should be our stronger side of the ball, we've lost

You and all who are fixated on the past Defensive coaches are sad individuals.

I hope they work out better than the bball transfers.....

RGGeemer

The vibe seems to be that teams/coaches might underestimate BYU. And I like it.

If you aren't used to following BYU they can look weak in recruiting. But those 3* recruits always seem to outperform.

Right! And with recent transfers we seem to have better raw material than

Valid point, but we can still be ranked above them

Fair assessment, especially considering last years team.

Our season is going to boil down to how well our starters can remain injury free...

BYU has already pretty much doing 4 road trips a year against P5 past few years,

viper

6/7/23 1:03pm

I think most of us are expecting 6 wins, maybe 7. Anything more than that is

yahtzee

6/7/23 1:15pm

That's the right approach. I still think a healthy BYU can win 7-8 but...better to temper in case there

TFL

6/7/23 2:44pm

PAC has more gimmes than the Big12. Also, you have had a decade to acclimate.

SoBlueitHurts

6/7/23 1:43pm

It's easy to win an argument when you don't make apples-to-apples comparisons.

ldssdl

6/7/23 1:48pm

We don't mock Utah for only winning 10 games. We mock Utah for somehow managing

gwalker

6/7/23 1:59pm

The answer is obvious. Memorable wins on big stages. Close, forgivable losses and huge MOVs on the wins

TFL

6/7/23 4:53pm

Since when is SDSU a forgivable loss?

SoBlueitHurts

6/7/23 5:01pm

Wait, like, for real? A 3 OT loss?

As for forgivable losses: Florida was not good last year, OrSt was not very good

SoBlueitHurts

Except SDSU and Oregon St got crushed when they came back to Salt Lake. BYU guys

TFL

Loving all these moral victories and excuses. Typical top 10 team behavior 😂

Atmospheric_Cougar

6/8/23 11:32am

You tried to say SDSU was forgivable, it just isn't. You are moving the goalpost

SoBlueitHurts

6/8/23 12:09pm

Nah… I wouldn’t change anything.

Actually I just said 10 wins was admirable. But I guess since you acknowledged

When has Utah had memorable wins on big stages over the last 2 years?

I'll give them the 2 PAC Champ games.

Weakest P5 conf, losing record to MWC. Winless vs BYU. Conference was weak lol

Atmospheric_Cougar

Those would be memorable if the PAC was worth being remembered.

slatecoug

6/8/23 1:58pm

This post has nothing to do with Utah. Remind us again why you are here?

Atmospheric_Cougar

6/7/23 3:54pm

To be fair, that's a good point. I usually stick to Ute only outside LDS and Politics. I supposed it's the awkwardness

TFL

6/7/23 8:30pm

We’ve heard your pleas and opinion on why Utah is amazing. How many times are

Atmospheric_Cougar

6/7/23 10:22pm

They weren't excellent seasons. Utah simply benefitted from being in the PAC.

slatecoug

6/8/23 2:00pm

6 teams ranked in the top 25? Half the conf? Heisman. Oregon that blew out BYU.

TFL

6/12/23 5:50pm

BYU was average in 2022. So what’s your point? How’d the PAC do in the playoffs?

Atmospheric_Cougar

6/12/23 9:48pm

Why are you railing on Utah that won the conf despite big time injuries when BYU was "just average"? Like, do you not

TFL

6/12/23 10:31pm

A Ute fan on Cougarboard lecturing us all on awareness. Gold Jerry, gold!

Atmospheric_Cougar

6/13/23 10:00am

That "just average" BYU has torn up your awesome PAC.

slatecoug

6/13/23 1:03pm

I think the Pac struggled big time from their poor COVID policies. BYU was brilliant making hay both in 2020

TFL

6/14/23 12:33pm

BYU didn't play anyone in the PAC in 2020.

slatecoug

6/14/23 9:27pm

Beating UNC...blowing out Florida, Texas. It's what I love about BYU fans

TFL

Atmospheric_Cougar

6/15/23 7:20am

That's what I love about Utah fans, always trying to make a loss seem like they won.

slatecoug

6/15/23 3:44pm

BYU has gone 6-1 over the last 2 years against the PAC that you think is so great. How do you explain that?

slatecoug

I get eye-roll'd here for being too optimistic - never predicted > 8w's

It’s total BS. It shows you how coaches don’t know anything until they scout.

The Big12 is a vastly superior league to the Pac12, top to bottom

So do you think if it was ucla, utah, usc, washington, or even stanford

travelcoug

6/7/23 1:17pm

You seem really worked up about the idea that Big12 is tougher than the Pac12

yahtzee

6/7/23 1:30pm

The Big 12 is better than the PAC, but I seem to remember BYU beat a middle of the pack Big 12 team last year

slatecoug

6/7/23 1:40pm

Holding up fine vs p12. But 10 big12 (1 SEC) games in a row will be a challenge.

yahtzee

6/7/23 1:49pm

You’re one of those guys that thinks that every team in the SEC plays Alabama

I don't think i am the one in need of chilling here, but thanks anyway

When did the Big 12 start playing 10 conference games?

slatecoug

6/7/23 6:51pm

Skipped right past that parenthetical, huh?

yahtzee

6/7/23 7:41pm

No. How about 9 Big 12 and 1 SEC? That would actually be accurate.
