I think it's a lot of fun to get excited. There's plenty of time down the road for overanalyzing, criticizing, etc. We're undefeated until another team proves otherwise (who cares that everybody else is too, I love BYU).

Assuming we play 14 games this year thats 250 yards a game

I can't remember an offseason when fans weren't really excited

I can't remember a time on CB when optimistic posts weren't countered with Debbie Downer posts.

I'm not saying you're wrong. Just keeping my expectations in check.

Ditto, as much as I love Detmer the offense I saw didn't do much for me

Lamentably, the Debbie's have been right

I would argue that is at least somewhat confirmation bias.

Going to a bowl is a pretty embarrassing mark to brag about.

Now, see, that's just the wrong attitude, man.

What do you think the Sagarin rating of BYU's 2016 schedule was?

Could you expand on "He has the O-line that he needs"?

Traveshamockery

As you analyze last year's o-line performance, I think they performed better than expected

jdub

How are they going to lose more games than last year based on OL play when

That's a very overused and misused line on CB, that he was
