Mr. Scoobs All-American

Even a slight improvement could mean less games won due to SOS

Just as you are optimistic about improvement, we’ve had other bright freshman qb’s regress (heaps, Mangum) and Wilson is coming off surgery.

I don’t think your prediction is unreasonable, but also don’t think a 5-6 win season is unreasonable either at this point. Only the field of play will tell the tale.

Yikes...one odds maker has us only winning 5.5 games. (link)

I have hope for a better season than that, but it’s not inconceivable.

I think it’s reasonable. I’d be shocked if we didn’t start the season 0-4

Completely unreasonable! Dare I say impossible

It’s as if fans have blocked out the most recent years from memory.

Mr. Scoobs

BYU fans are incapable of not falling for the offseason delusions

7/14/19 1:42pm

So... if you ARE capable of not being deluded, then you can't be a BYU fan? So question for you, G-D:

As shocked as you were when we beat Wisky? What about when Sparty when down?

Pretorian

7/14/19 12:15pm

Shocked is too strong. I agree.

macdizzle

7/14/19 5:45pm

Remember when we were supposed to start 0-4 last year? Me too

We also weren’t supposed to lose to UMass, USU, NIU etc.

Mr. Scoobs

7/15/19 6:32pm

Actually, Usu was favored in Provo.

I think we win at least six, maybe seven.

I think BYU is plenty tough and pretty talented....

Anything less would be disappointing... big time

Pretorian

7/14/19 12:18pm

My goodness. You guys act like Tennessee and USC aren’t mediocre.

7/14/19 1:09pm

They've been very mediocre. I think Tennessee is supposed to be better this

Goliath

7/14/19 1:15pm

Exactly. Maybe they’ll be good, but not a team we can’t beat.

7/14/19 3:49pm

Possible...and ugly.

That’s not BYU culture, that is the youth today in general

idacoug

7/14/19 7:58am

Youth at utah sure don't struggle. Its coaching.

The students you're talking about are probably students and thats all.

AlphaCoug

7/14/19 3:28pm

It's quite possible. I think we could win as few as 5 games and as many as 9

BeardedSpock

7/14/19 7:59am

I think Sitake OK season has to be 8 wins. 7 would mean we lose all the good games

HighHorse

7/14/19 8:56am

We got six wins last year and beat Wisconsin & Arizona

BYU Fan

7/14/19 9:09am

A "good team" has to win most of our home games...

HighHorse

I wonder when that photo was taken

BYU Fan

7/14/19 9:10am

Best case scenario: 9-3. Darkest timeline: 3-9. My guess: 7-5.

TEXAS

We are 20-19 under Kalani with a SOS in the 70’s. This SOS should be tougher.

Mr. Scoobs

7/14/19 9:46am

Analysis of the roster says improvement.

wilsdad

7/14/19 10:30am

We could improve over a 63 finish, and still only win 5-6 games w/tougher SOS.

Mr. Scoobs

7/14/19 10:32am

Just depends on if BYU remains the same.

wilsdad

7/14/19 10:44am

Even a slight improvement could mean less games won due to SOS

No logic can change Scoob's mind — based on past posts. Let him wallow.

Lol. What specifically do you take issue with? I’m posting data and facts.

Mr. Scoobs

7/15/19 9:18am

Data and 'facts'? Doom and gloom.... all the time. The reality is that there is

Benfica1

7/15/19 10:51am

What exactly isn't "doom and gloom" about a 112 finish and 63 finish?

Mr. Scoobs

7/15/19 11:12am

Its just one of many predictions

AlphaCoug

Ooooo sooo close to #QUESTFOR6! yet no cigar 🙁

7/14/19 1:34pm

Now we have to beat the odds, too.
