Will be interesting to see if he can come back from the injury.

On a scale of one to 10 how likely do we start 3-1 next year and start ranked.

2/10

1-10. Im high on our team but you underestimate USC and Washington

monkeycowboy

4/15/19 9:41am

I think Utah, Tenn, and USC are all winnable. But probably we'll be favored in

Haven't beat Utah since 2009. Haven't beat a team at home better than #117

Mr. Scoobs

4/15/19 9:50am

Utah will be the easiest game out of our first 4 games.

Richbyu

4/15/19 9:54am

Utah might be the best of your first 4 opponents.

displacedute

4/15/19 9:58am

Utah reportedly has a very weak O-Line.

Richbyu

4/15/19 10:02am

Utah's QB and RB are better than yours.

displacedute

4/15/19 11:03am

LOL! Thanks for the laugh.

Richbyu

4/15/19 11:36am

Utah's elite starting RB is Moss.

displacedute

4/15/19 11:40am

The guy who blew out his knee?

Richbyu

4/15/19 11:52am

That's the one.

displacedute

4/15/19 12:45pm

Since when is a torn meniscus a blown out knee?

wcj99

4/15/19 12:56pm

Don’t they have their starting RB back?

Alsippi89

4/15/19 11:40am

Yes.

displacedute

4/15/19 11:42am

RB, you can easily make that argument. But stats say Zach Wilson is better.

jdub

4/15/19 11:48am

Raw stats say they're essentially equal.

displacedute

4/15/19 12:06pm

By "essentially equal", you mean after adjusting for your bias. Just taking the QB rating alone, Wilson is better.

jdub

4/15/19 12:10pm

No, I mean before.

displacedute

4/15/19 12:42pm

RB maybe. QB? Not buying it. Huntley is good, not great. Wilson - higher ceiling

DraperCoug22

4/15/19 1:53pm

So far Huntley's shown himself better.

displacedute

4/15/19 2:08pm

Did Huntley get ranked as 3rd best freshman QB in the country? Didn't think so.

DraperCoug22

4/15/19 2:35pm

He played pretty sparingly as a freshman, so no.

displacedute

4/15/19 2:43pm

Oh no, Bd7thCal didn't like that I slammed his Ute QB. Huntley is average.

DraperCoug22

4/15/19 4:26pm

Better than Wilson.

displacedute

4/15/19 4:54pm

We'll find out on August 29th. *bookmarking convo for future reference*

DraperCoug22

4/15/19 5:05pm

That's fair. What's your favorite lunch place in Vegas?

displacedute

4/15/19 5:19pm

Haha cool. Not familiar with lunch spots down there.

DraperCoug22

It’s a good thing you’d take Huntley because that is who you have. And I am

Good luck finding College football coaches that would agree with you.

slatecoug

Lol?

displacedute

Huntley gets very scared out there. Pass on Huntley.

I found this line kind of funny:

jdub

4/15/19 10:07am

Of course I have a huge bias.

displacedute

4/15/19 11:02am

I'm not convinced that Utah is better than USC, Washington and Tennessee

Richbyu

4/15/19 10:32am

I could give you a stat dump. In fact, let's do that.

displacedute

4/15/19 11:21am

What is it with Ute fans always leaving a dump in weird places?

jdub

RE: What is it with Ute fans always leaving a dump in weird places?

displacedute

4/15/19 11:41am

Please... Washington, USC, and Tennessee are much bigger programs than Utah.

Richbyu

4/15/19 11:39am

ESPN's FPI considers Utah better than USC this year.

displacedute

4/15/19 11:41am

I repeat. Utah is a decent mid-level PAC12 team. But can't hold a candle to

Richbyu

"Program" vs "this year" is kind of a dumb argument. displaced is arguing Utah is better than USC this year, not

jdub

4/15/19 11:57am

Moss is coming back from a major knee injury.

Richbyu

4/15/19 12:02pm

Arguing specifics is great. Arguing program history is silly, and that's what you went to.

jdub

4/15/19 12:06pm

Since we are speculating on the season, I think arguing program history is a

Richbyu

4/15/19 12:12pm

I can agree with that post.

jdub

4/15/19 12:17pm

Moss had a knee scope for torn cartilage. No structural damage to any ligaments.

The Notorious JIC

4/15/19 12:18pm

How did he look during spring practice?

Richbyu

4/15/19 12:20pm

He looked just as good as Wilson did. In large part BYU expectations are based

wcj99

4/15/19 12:39pm

A RB that can't run (blown out knee) is a tough thing to deal with.

Richbyu

4/15/19 2:31pm

As I said above, a torn meniscus that was scoped is hardly the same thing as a

wcj99

4/15/19 2:38pm

Richbyu

Yeah, if only the schedule in the uber tough PAC would ever break Utah's way.

You think the odds of starting 3-1 are better than 50%?

displacedute

4/15/19 9:55am

I can see us starting out 0-5...yikes.

Avery

4/15/19 9:56am

At 0-5, 0-8 get's very possible as well - there just aren't any easy games

BYU Fan

4/15/19 9:59am

Stop confusing me! I was convinced we were going 14-0 after the OP

wonderbred

4/15/19 10:52am

You're not wrong. I think the first 8 games you're aiming for 5-3.

displacedute

4/15/19 11:39am

No way. They win at least 1 or 2 of the first 5.

DraperCoug22
