football doesn’t have the familiarity nationally that I thought we had. Never thought playing QB at BYU would be seen as a liability by all of these stupid analysts. Luckily NFL GMs are smarter.
Given our presence on ESPN constantly I am surprised how many “experts” do not talk about us as a legit program in the same way they would talk about Utah, just based on its membership in the PAC 12.
10 years of Independence, in my opinion, has led to an inability of fans/experts to connect BYU football with anything familiar to them because we are this random entity now.
