And Grimes wouldn't scheme for him

Initially, Grimes couldn't get over the fact that Matt wasn't a very good blocker, so he had trouble getting on the field. Once Grimes got over that issue and just started playing him like Jonny Harline, he dominated.

BYU basketball will be good this year and BYU football will struggle.

Matt Bushman is elite, Romney could be as well

He was elite as a Freshman. He was average last year.

Profootballfocus has him as one of the top 5 in the country

BlackBart

That's fair. We need him to be elite for this team to win. No question.

I think you will find him doing much more because number 1 a better OL to

He was average because Tanner wouldn't/couldnt hit him.

This is spot on. In fairness Grimes was running a ball control O and needed

You, sir, are too pessimistic.

Who knows. Elite qbs can transform a team. Wilson isn't elite now but if he takes that step...

Agreed. Wilson has elite potential in my estimation

This is the most logical post I have ever seen on Cougarboard!!!

If you can’t be optimistic with the O Line (most important group given a halfway decent QB) and pretty solid horses

I think you're a bit overly pessimistic about the team

You completely blew by the trenches ... calling weak sauce. Give us an O-line/D-line analysis if you have time.

I would like a new staff at 0-4. We HAVE to win half of those. You could argue beating Utah is a must win.

1-3 isn’t bad enough to fire the coach

It is when you combine the worse season in 40+ years to the list.

The grass isn’t always greener. Nick Howell is the next option after Kalani.

PessimisticCB

7/11/19 9:53am

at least he won while he was here.

coolblue

7/11/19 11:31am

So you would rather have Nick then Kalani because Nick won while he was here?

PessimisticCB

If he doesn’t hire a bunch of BYU bros as part of his first coaching staff...

What game of those 4 do you see winning?

macdizzle

7/11/19 9:35am

I would be stoked if we went 2-2

PessimisticCB

7/11/19 9:58am

There won’t be a new staff after 0-4. If you think that will happen you are up

Sure we can. Why can’t we?

BYU basketball will finish 3rd in WCC and be a single digit NIT seed

BYU basketball will tie with Gonzaga in the WCC

I believe every seed in the NIT is a single digit (1-8)

We really lack "tall guy" depth on the basketball team, though

TL;DR Zach is awesome, everyone else is ok, and Kalani is a possum

Somewhere between your attitude and thinking we go undefeated is the sweet spot.
