not a poster child for player development? yet with our schedule, and playing all those YOUNG players, he still put
together enough defense to win 10 games. Seems like a spurious argument to me when he did exactly what you say he didn't. They got players to rise to the occassion.
Go back and look at how many seasons EVER, including the WAC, MWC years that BYU had 10 win seasons... And with only a couple seasons, you'll find NONE of those teams had injuries the like we saw, and definitely couldn't have filled the holes any better.
