Do we want to believe Bronco left BYU because Holly hated the Orem 75th ward and putting up with boneheads at Harmons family grocery?
There are external impediments to BYU that are slowly but surely wearing the program down. I am not sure there is a thing BYU can do about it either. A good year for BYU this year is beating Cal & Utah State, staying in the game against Utah, Boise State and Arizona (perhaps winning 1 of the 3) and hopefully thinking it isn't over against Washington and Wisconsin until the 4th quarter. They should win all the rest. That will get them to a bowl game. That is a good year.
The oddsmakers understand this. Many of you can whine about standardholderupping but methinks you are missing the reality of BYU football. The oddsmakers don't.
