The W. Mich D was so bad any QB would have looked great. I agree.

Coogar2 Walk-on

Many have overblown expectations for the BYU O. I will wait to see how many points BYU scores against Utah before I start to get excited for a pass happy O. Run first is what we should expect until the opponents shut it down.

Random musing on the offensive approach for the first four games

i think many people's memory of the high octane passing offense of wilson is very cloudy. He had 1 300 yard game and

I think the yardage component is tricky

cougarmanguy

5/23/19 11:16am

That was all about coaching. They didn't want him to make any mistakes so

So I agree with you and have made the same point on Wilson's season...

I don’t know

Agree that he wants to pound the ball but I think he'll do it in the spread

ZW had some success last year vs. Utah. One thing that would have helped in the

He'll likely go with the team's strengths which start with Zach and his arm,

Williams and Esukpa have more playing experience than any other RB on the roster

5/23/19 12:18pm

But there's a reason they are transfers and missing spring ball is huge in

I don’t agree with this. We’ve seen guys come in and know where to be as

But from transfers, you see more that are not ready if they haven't had the

We’ll see. RB is definitely not the hardest position to learn so at least we

Honest question - did Jordan Leslie play spring ball?

boscatar

5/23/19 3:51pm

Nope

AntiSNOT

Leslie had season highs for receptions in Games 2 and 3 (@Texas, Houston)

And naturally this would be a mistake. How many years in a row are we going to

If that multi year starting RB from the SEC is a go...run to set up pass!

starting?

Occasional starter.

i thought i read an article that stated he had never started a game and that could change by game 1 at BYU?

BlueFrog

5/23/19 1:22pm

If so, it was incorrect. I can think of at least a couple games where he got the

it was a byu based article. probably lazy research

Who's that?

Unless their name is Mike Leach or Steve Spurrier,

The most important time to rely and lean on ZW is the first 4 weeks

SlantRoute

Probably not a great recipe for success

Dr T-bone

5/23/19 1:36pm

Am I wrong to think that this may be the first time in a while that the offense has had some balance?

cowbellcoug

5/23/19 1:53pm

Not at all. ZW will be the best QB since Max Hall. His YPC and comp % are

Ash

5/23/19 2:12pm

As good as he is a good offensive line and running game will help a LOT

puntersarepeople

5/23/19 4:32pm

Which is a good thing we just got an SEC RB who looks and acts the part.

AntiSNOT

5/23/19 7:07pm

Seriously. Just give me a full season of Squally last year with a pass threat

puntersarepeople

5/23/19 7:24pm

How can you be so definitive?

CoachSpeak

5/23/19 4:45pm

Because some guys so clearly have above average talent. We all noticed

Ash

5/23/19 5:04pm

I’m skeptical....

CoachSpeak

5/23/19 5:12pm

All I have declared is that he'll be the best QB since Max Hall. Hall

Ash

5/23/19 5:18pm

We should all expect Wilson to be an above average QB

Agreed, except for the "running moves never before seen by a BYU QB." Mr. Hill

Kalani said they were hoping to try and let it fly this year.

If you have a run game, you should always establish that first. You shouldn't

Why would they take the Wisconsin game approach?

How many points vs Utah, eh

If we do that against Utah, we'll get crushed.
