I like your optimism. I hope we don’t notice too much. Elite players don’t

Blue chunks Walk-on

Seem to improve as noticeably in one year. I can’t imagine Zach being better than he was if he returned...but the next level down guys can really take huge leaps forward in one year...we may miss out on some of that.

Unappetizing thoughts from Mandel on BYU team experience level

BYU has more production returning than that stat indicates, but it is still a worry. Especially at QB.

True but that is also true of any team losing an underclassmen QB in the top 5

sounds like a fair and reasonable take.

And that doesn't even consider losing your offensive coordinator & O line coach.

BYU will be fine with Roderick.

Returning production is such an overrated metric IMO

For instance....Utah has people coming back...but not their QB and RB

They rank high in Connelly's metric because he includes transfers as returners

They also played in what, 3 games last season? game experience also means a lot

and lets not forget that Romney was leading all receivers last year at BYU in

I think the loss at WR isn’t an issue at all, their production was 60% Zach

Pretorian

Yes. He just needs one of the other guys to match him so we’re not just

Oh wait... we have Neil. He really looked good at the end of the season.

Time to stop bringing up his rating. It's dumb.

The only metrics I’m worried about in this regard are

Pretorian

I am looking at our offensive line and I like what I see. I don't see much

I think this metric will prove erratic & less predictive than in normal years

I don't think you should post long passages from the Athletic here.

He's not wrong. BYU fans should brace themselves

I think we are just reloading. A heck of a lot of talent on this team.

Bear in mind, we had 1590 plays. Our P12 foes had between 538-853 total not

I couldn't agree more. This team is loaded.
