The thing that makes it really tough...

Most years of indy we've had a really imbalanced schedule. We've been able to earn bowl eligibility by winning most games in late Oct and Nov against the likes of NMSU, UNLV, Idaho St., etc. Next year there are very few gimme games and we'll need to beat a lot of mid-level P5 teams to earn bowl eligibility.

Next year's "toughest schedule ever" isn't looking so tough

Why would a college team "intentionally tank"?

Thrill

11/18/19 11:34am

By delaying to put talent on the field in order to redshirt them for later? Seems like a huge gamble in

I hope BYU looks at doing some version of this

Kinda what we have now

I don't like the idea of winning 3-4 games one year, then 10, then 3-4 again.

Yeah, I like the 10-2 part the most

UH's 4-star QB announced that he will redshirt, after Houston lost a close one

Doogal McCougar

Thought it was reported he's planning on leaving. He's a dynamic player.

It's basically to save the elite players from a rebuilding year

Every year is the “toughest schedule ever” in the offseason.

People see P5 teams and automatically get scared. Need to change that mindset

I don't think people get scared. I think it's reasonable to expect P5 teams to

look at BYU ‘s historical record against p5. Probably below 50%.

idcougarfan

A lot of these will be beatable P5s though

We won't know how tough the schedule really is until this time next year

cougaman

Utah and Houston will be the 'most different' next season I think.

Klompus

It's very possible Utah is the best team we play next year (again)

Actually, '20 BYU could earn bowl eligibility without a single P5 win.

Doogal McCougar

I see a lot of teams poised to make a move up next year

Including BYU. I'm optimistic.

Isn't the big thing being that so many of the tougher games are on the road?

Cougar8Duck

11/18/19 12:28pm

Has Hall redshirted? If not, he has only played in 4 games this year, right?

oldrugger

11/18/19 12:39pm

redshirted last year

Schultz is back

11/18/19 12:55pm

He RS last year iirc

cougaman

Minnesota is a really young team.

whirl

11/18/19 12:49pm

They have some juniors I bet though

puntersarepeople

11/18/19 12:50pm

According to this they only have 3 returning starters on defense next year

BYUMizzou

11/18/19 12:52pm

Utah also loses most of their defense

BYU '80

11/18/19 1:21pm

Until BYU beats Utah, it's an all-but-guaranteed loss.
