hummmm.. let me have a crack at this one...
1. Jeff Tuel. Lets see... 2 years experience? How about one year experience as a starter. He threw 45 passes last year and completed 29 before being knocked out for the year. His experience last year was holding a clip board. I do think he has a pretty good arm and can make some impressive throws. Can he sustain that play after play? Is he fragile? will he make it through the season? being hurt twice last year, I would bet he is fragile and prone to injuries. We will find out because he will take some really BIG hits in the BYU game. The key with the success of Tuel is pressure... Can BYU put some pressure on him? If BYU can't it may be a long night because Tuel can throw if given some time.

2.An offensive line of 290 pounders? wow... isn't that every college football teams OL? What about the depth? I have heard the depth and experience are lacking? I know you are replacing at least 2 starters from last year. New offensive scheme, new defensive scheme, new coaches... will cause some confusion and miscues.

3. Leach. He is a good offensive coach. I think in 2-3 years you will start to see Leach put up some offensive numbers. After he has a chance to recruit his type of players. He is patching together his offense with what is available. I like Leach and will do good things at WSU.... just not immediate.

4. Speed speed speed...blah blah blah... we hear that every game we play.... BYU will be just fine.

5. This one made me laugh. Time of Possession? Leach does not know what time of possession is. WSU could never have a 8 minute drive. They have no running game.

NOW.. My turn

5 REASONS WHY BYU WILL WIN

1. First game jitters...., at Provo, with 60k fans. BYU has won opening games the last 5 years. On the other hand WSU has won 2 games on the road the last 4 years. I don't see that trend changing.

2. Defense. BYU has one. WSU does not. This will be BYU's best defense in 6 years.

3. Offensive run game. We will run all over WSU. control the clock and score on long time consuming drives. the run will set up the pass in this game. We will attack WSU biggest weakness.... the front 7.

4. Bronco. He is a pretty good coach too. Experienced defense. Experienced offense.

5. BYU is a better team this year.
