Certainly, the schedule helped, but even in those games, how many times was
the receiver covered perfectly, only to see the vall go to the only place thw receiver had a chance and the DB couldn't touch it. That is not competition level, that is accuracy. Even, the game where the DB knocked the ball away from the tight end and BYU ran the same play again. Zack threw the ball, like six inches, higher, the DB, didnt have the reach and we had a touchdown. What does it take to throw a ball just enough higher to eliminate the DB but not overthrow the TE?
