otherwise on the field. No doubt we all hope it proves itself not a mess, but one can hardly blame fans for waiting until the truth plays out on the gridiron before dancing around, singing songs about lollipops and sunshine.

We are 14 point underdogs to Arizona

I would put it at more like a tossup, so maybe 3 pts for home field to AZ.

A tossup? Playing in Tucson in September against Khalil Tate?

He's not invincible. They did lose 4 of their last 5

And we have no idea what our offense will look like, aside from an overall

BYU has more talent on the lines.

Blue Cat

you think BYU has a talent disadvantage on D?

Lip Gallagher

Those were all good P5 teams, not ECU, Utah St, or UMASS. I think 14 a little

That was 5 minutes of him running, but only 30 seconds of him passing the ball

But I have been told that defense was great last year and the offense was to

You quite literally have not.

Lip Gallagher

Exactly. This guy could punish us.

IronPotato

5/21/18 11:07pm

Did you see our team play last year, and who UA is returning as QB?

Turnpike Lane

5/21/18 5:23pm

Fortunately, last year's teams aren't playing though.

The way I see it

reading to your kids much?

TailgateU

Are you going to become the HC?

Kingfisher

5/21/18 10:19pm

True but have much to prove this year. Until then the stigma is there for setting lines.

Turnpike Lane

5/21/18 7:20pm

Seems generous to me.

Dangerous

5/21/18 5:28pm

I'm encouraged that we're still considered a 14 point underdog after last year.

lots of money on Arizona for me until i see/hear something different in Provo

I’d put money on AZ covering

Still early, but I could see this being a close game. D will play conservative

We were a very very bad team last year. They have one of the best players in the

I think AZ wins by 21. BYU has never been able to deal with a mobile QB.

Sumlin is a decent, but not great coach. The bad thing for BYU is he's a great

Sounds right to me, our program is a mess right now.

How do you know?

Lip Gallagher

5/21/18 7:43pm

How do you not, lip?

Mathew

5/21/18 9:50pm

He doesn't know anything. except for the height and weight of a few recruits

BlueFrog

5/21/18 9:57pm

I don't. But you can't prove that we are... That's a present tense word.

Lip Gallagher

5/21/18 10:22pm

Our most recent results sucked.

CommodoreCoug

5/22/18 6:37am

Last year's scores are the best indicator of the future? No.

Lip Gallagher

5/22/18 9:50am

We suck until we've proven otherwise. Simple as that.

CommodoreCoug

5/22/18 11:10am

lol ok. That makes no sense after one season

Lip Gallagher

5/22/18 11:19am

I'm just going off our record, how many recruits left us, no clear QB, etc...

I think we cover 14, but not by much.

If I were a betting man, I'd bet BYU to beat the spread every game this year

Hill4Heisman

5/21/18 8:58pm

You are fortunate not to be a betting man.

Cougtruth

Just 14? Right now I’m taking AZ on that

Meh. Seems fair until BYU proves it wasnt

We’ll see who Kalani scapegoats this year

5/22/18 7:10am

I'm expecting our O Line to be better this year and to see more ball control

stevebyu8

5/22/18 8:45am

That's probably about right. We have a lot to prove on both sides of the ball...

BYU had a historically bad year. I can see how they got that number. I do think
