Sometimes it's tough to see progress over the course of the season because they started against really good teams and finished against crap teams so progress is hard to see. If you look mediocre against Utah and then look decent against ISU have you really improved or has the level of competition just dropped.
I think that Coug is not completely wrong because this BYU team should have been dominating weaker opponents like SDSU and Hawaii if they were able to compete early in the season with USC and others. They didn't look like they had gotten any better, especially the OLine, later in the year.
