to be great. This year has been such a roller coaster and it’s hard to not look at it as a downer.

Before the season I was thinking and hoping that this team could get to 8-4, or maybe 7-5 because the strength of schedule seemed to indicate there would still be growing pains but we’d figure out who we are this year and be ready for a possible special season in 2020 with all the returning talent and experience. But the way we got to 7-5 this year feels like a cruel reality that is now BYU football. It’s like a bad dream.

I love this team and the coaches, but you gotta think with better coaching we’re looking like a 9-3 or maybe 10-2 team while ranked somewhere around 15-20.

All the momentum I felt in the program following the 2018 season is basically gone. This was still technically a decent-good year depending on your outlook, but it’s hard to argue that this team has the potential it had following last year.

I’ve been following BYU since Bronco took over in ‘05 and this is essentially the 2nd time I’ve felt this way about BYU football. The 1st was after the horrendous 2017 year. This is a million times better than that but it all feels fake. We’re still that same team because we’ve got the same man in charge at the top. The players have tried their best to break out of that but there’s only so much they can do when the head coach doesn’t know how to “fix it”.
