4 wins would be a major accomplishment at this point

And I don't think we're getting there. I posted this two weeks ago and stand by it.

I agree. At this point, I don't expect them to beat anyone. Beating UMASS would be a step forward. 4 wins would be a huge step forward. to win out would blow my mind.

I predict we finish 3-10.

I don't think BYU's defense has the ability to stop UMASS. I think BYU's last best chance at a win is UNLV.

So does 5 wins make BYU a contender?

For next year potentially. depending how the QBs play these final few games.

I don't see any way that BYU wins out. They would have to become something they haven't been all year, a physical aggressive team both offensively and defensively. Neither is part of this coaching staffs nature and thus the team plays soft and passive.

WOW. Ty Detmer and the offense CAME ALIVE tonight!

Very impressed with this patched together O. Even against UNVL

If they play like that the rest of the way, they could win out.

How are UMass and Hawaii at stopping the run?

They put the ball in the RB's hands in the second half, I think to take pressure off of our freshman QB, plus Squally was running really well. IMO, if they had needed it, Critchlow could have carried us. He had a 166 per in the 1st half when we weren't leaning on Squally nearly as much.
