If players show that they are developing and improving them I think it will manifest itself on the field with more victories.
I be saw improvement this test which translated into 3 more wins than 2018, and several very close loses.
If players are developing and coaches are doing a better job, there should be an uptick in wins again.
Next year's schedule is tough, but BYU needs to get to at least b8 wins, IMO to show progress and an upward trajectory.
