Utah game ... more of the same?
Just listened to Seattle sports radio previewing the Pac-12 season. They are very high on Utah as a real contender in the conference. Their discussion of the Utes defensively and offensively has me extremely frightened for our opening game!
Someone talk me off the ledge and tell me why BYU has a shot in this one, please!!

Yet the PAC is the least of the P5 conferences, so they might be the best of a mediocre conference.

Re: Utah game ... more of the same?
After what I've seen of the BYU games the last umpteen years, I have no expectation of a win. I don't know what happened to our boys, but something did that started them in a spiral that they can't seem to get out of. On paper the Pukes have a better team this year, so I don't know why anyone thinks we'll win.cougarapologist wrote: ↑Wed Aug 14, 2019 11:30 am Just listened to Seattle sports radio previewing the Pac-12 season.

Can it happen? Yes, but doubtful.

Re: Utah game ... more of the same?
Sorry ... I can't talk you off the ledge either.
I come into the season expecting 0-4 ... if it's better than that I'll be jazzed! But, it can't be worse than that!
The only thing that gives me hope against Utah is: last year. Good grief, without a complete melt-down, BYU wins walking away; and this year we have more talent. I suspect there will be some wrinkles that Utah doesn't see coming. On the flip-side, I think KS and crew know what is coming from the Ute side of the ball. If coaching is better than it has been and the players play to their potential, it could ruin my 4--week prediction in game 1. But those are big if's ...

Hey guys we have a chance. You never know. Maybe we will get 8 turnovers. Oh wait that happened once.
