saying that the program is back.

We have 3 years with this coaching staff and we were 9-4, 4-9 and 7-6. The aggregate is not UTEPesque, but it also isn't really BYUesque.

BYU has one bad season in 14 years, and now everyone acts like we're UTEP. It's

Shellackings of UMass and Hawaii?

What did you find funny about that?

andrewg3

4/15/19 1:49pm

That it is your evidentiary support for being back

2FarGone

4/15/19 1:54pm

If almost losing to both those teams one year, then throttling them the next

andrewg3

4/15/19 1:58pm

My floor for performance from BYU football is higher than yours

2FarGone

4/15/19 2:02pm

My floor is 8 wins, which will happen this season. What's yours?

andrewg3

4/15/19 2:08pm

Same, but I expect to beat Boise and Utah routinely on top of that

2FarGone

4/15/19 2:10pm

The tides will turn. Boise had their version of Max Hall at QB the last 4 years.

4/15/19 2:18pm

I'm with you. The pendulum is going to come back our way. Hopefully starting now

BYU competed with USU in 2017 and got thumped in 2018

BYU Fan

4/15/19 2:12pm

Competed with USU in 2017?!! I was at that game...we got our As handed to us,

andrewg3

4/15/19 2:14pm

I felt BYU had a chance in the 4th quarter in 2017

BYU Fan

4/15/19 2:20pm

Nah man. Go back and rewatch it. My dad and I left in the 3rd.

andrewg3

4/15/19 2:28pm

No thank you - I'll take your word for it.

BYU Fan

4/15/19 2:34pm

Good choice.

andrewg3

4/15/19 3:50pm

So, do all of you thumbs-downers really think beating UMass and Hawaii means we're good?

2FarGone

More momentum out of one game

The trend is not good. But your optimism is admirable. That said, I believe in

Those coaches are gone? When did we get rid of kalani?

cougarfann888

4/15/19 1:53pm

C'mon man, you're smarter than that. Like 6 coaches are gone.

andrewg3

4/15/19 1:54pm

Head coach is the the same, assistant head coach is the same

cougarfann888

4/15/19 1:58pm

We had the #18 defense last year. You don't do a "routine change" for

andrewg3

4/15/19 2:07pm

Too early to say if kalani is part of the problem or not

cougarfann888

4/15/19 2:25pm

I feel like the 2017 UMass and Hawaii games compared to the 2018 games are

andrewg3

4/15/19 2:29pm

Wilson probably made more of a difference this season than coaching did

cougarfann888

4/15/19 2:32pm

Yep, Kalani went and handpicked him.

andrewg3

4/15/19 3:51pm

I would expect UTEP to go 2-10 against this schedule, I hope BYU goes 7-5

BYU Fan

4/15/19 1:57pm

7-5 would be great. Tack a bowl win on for 8-5. Very nice season.

andrewg3

4/15/19 2:05pm

Under current circumstances, I think that would be a great season

BYU Fan

4/15/19 2:19pm

Can you also admit that a 63 finish doesn’t mean BYU is “back”?

Mr. Scoobs

4/15/19 1:59pm

It depends on your definition of "back." I consider an 8-win season to be back,

andrewg3

4/15/19 2:01pm

Then you should applaud that when it happens.

Mr. Scoobs

4/15/19 2:10pm

Not sure why so many people keep calling a 7-6 season a .500 season either.

andrewg3

4/15/19 2:13pm

.500 regular season. Is one game the last 3 years

Mr. Scoobs

4/15/19 2:31pm

The trend actually says we’ll be better this year

Love how going “toe to toe” with Utah is now some great indicator of success

cougfanz

4/15/19 2:01pm

It is. Because many on this board believe that Utah has left BYU in the dust.

andrewg3

4/15/19 2:04pm

Ahh, moral victories!

Brisco

4/15/19 5:17pm

Even if last year wasn't bad, it certainly wasn't great.

Bossk82

4/15/19 2:03pm

Exactly.

andrewg3

4/15/19 2:04pm

Should have beaten both the Utes and Donkeys. We’re on their level for sure

Cougar76

4/15/19 2:09pm

I expect BYU to win 8-9 games every year. At least. I think we can do it this

I like the following criteria for judging football success:

While UTEP is extreme, likewise one pototoe bowl victory doesn’t mean the last 2

Mr. Scoobs

4/15/19 2:42pm

2002-2004 were pretty bad

BYU Fan

4/15/19 2:51pm

2003 and 2004 had top 15 SOS.

Mr. Scoobs

One minor gripe with your post:

Resurgens

4/15/19 6:16pm

First 4 are extremely tough games. Doesn't mean we are UTEP at all
