This year was a reminder that football is a brutal sport...a lot of young men

sacrifice life long health to play for a few years. I enjoyed playing in high school and was lucky enough to avoid serious injury.

I am sure that most that play and succeed at the college or professional level wouldn't change their decision after they finish... but it is a brutal and dangerous sport.

LaChance and Romney were out too. Haws at DT was also out apparently.

That will happen when your roster is depleted

Few, lose 7 starters on 1 side...and when they do they don't go 10-2 usually

It’s not the same for every team but byu isn’t alone

Honestly that's the biggest difference between P5 (at least the lower levels of P5) and non-P5

The crazy thing is that BYU's depth is better this year –reason why they won 10.

Also, the coaches KNOW their players and played to their strengths. Tuiaki:

It starts by not having the D play more downs than needed. A scheme and mindset

Yeah, this take is not realistic

This is who we've been all year. We haven't blown anyone out. But keep winning

They aren't the same team at all. I didn't even know some of those players on defense were on this team at mid season.

11/28/21 9:24am

Injuries on defense are a big part of it. We don’t have the depth of P5 teams.

BlooCoog

To be honest, given how depleted they are, I thought they stepped up when they needed to in the last three games.

This is a team that has scratched and clawed in the face of serious injury
