I find it funny that most Ty Detmer apologists want others to set aside logic

What about him?

sgriff

10/11/17 8:39pm

EXACTLY! Broke the P12 passing record in his 2nd year.

BlueForLife

10/11/17 8:39pm

Went 9-4 last year

BYURider

10/11/17 8:39pm

1-5(6) and basically dead last in offense isn't enough for you?

sgriff

10/11/17 8:40pm

10-10 after this Saturday.

BlueForLife

10/11/17 8:40pm

Well finish season close to where we finished

BYURider

10/11/17 8:43pm

I doubt that. What makes you think that we are going to catch up to last year?

sgriff

10/11/17 8:46pm

And last year wasn't that great for the offense anyway.

I can wait until the end of the year. I'd prefer a mid season adjustment, but

Crowton went 12-2 with Lavell's guys and then three straight losing seasons.

The offense wasn't good last year either

It's like giving the defense credit for the 11-2 record in 2001

Detmer apologists don't have a monopoly on anti-logic

BlueBlood

Exactly! It's not like Detmer is sticking to the same script hoping it'll work.

ManicBlue

and some are in his control. Lets be clear that no one is disputing that.

BlueBlood

10/11/17 9:44pm

What exactly would you do differently that he hasn't tried?

ManicBlue

Well, there are a few things, mostly guesses

The passing game probably looks great in practice against this defense.

Prediction - Ty will be OC in 2018

BYURider

10/11/17 8:45pm

My Prediction: if that happens Kalani will be Fired in December 2018.

Hawk Talons

10/11/17 8:52pm

So if BYU went 11-2, theyd fire Kalani? Really?

BYURider

10/11/17 10:17pm

Predictions wont be useless if the staff stays the same

MikeDitka'sStache

10/12/17 7:59am

Our losing in Royal uniforms far predates Ty and people still try to deny that.

BYUtka

I get your point, but explain the issues. What is wrong?

Turnpike Lane

What isn't wrong would have a shorter answer.

Lots of things that point back to Ty.

BlueForLife

10/11/17 9:24pm

they knew Ula was the best back. He was injured, he COULDN'T play, and still isn't in great game shape

BlueBlood

10/11/17 9:29pm

They said nothing all off-season about Ula being number 1 if he wasn't injured.

BlueForLife

10/12/17 7:50pm

I believe they said that Burt had an injury and was just cleared by Dr's last w/

First you label, then you predict. You must be great with the women.

Show me results to argue your point. You like to make personal jabs. Fight back!

As much as I hate the current record, I knew I'd have to be patient when they picked Ty.

Really? I don't remember many people saying we would have to be patient. Did

Hawk Talons

Many people were thinking it, but there were a lot of the "fire bronco" crowd

SUAVO

10/11/17 9:08pm

You should listen to what Drage said on Criddle's show this afternoon

BlueBlood

10/11/17 8:58pm

Ty is also the QB coach so poor QB play is on him too.

sgriff

10/11/17 9:02pm

Who should take the blame?

BlueForLife

10/11/17 9:07pm

Ty should. I thought we agreed on that.

sgriff

Sorry! I meant to respond to the guy you responded to.

BlueForLife

10/11/17 9:14pm

Detmer, Taysom, Heaps, Beck (early years), Anae, etc. BYU fans are never happy.

cougsrule

10/11/17 9:13pm

I was somewhat happy with Bronco even as a regular 8-5, 9-4 coach.

Yeah, what an idiot for not playing Ula when he was injured, right? Totally missed on that eval.

They didn't list him as a starter because he wasn't going to start.

If detmer didn't hire the position coaches, that is the fault of tom

There is truth in this. Reality is this: the best OC we've had in past 10+ years
