BYU blues

Another loss for BYU. And it wasn't even close. They showed no fight, no energy. My wife looked at Jake Heaps in the 4th quarter and said "He looks like he wants to puke, his team has let him down." Perfectly said. Too many dropped passes, it sounds like a broken record, but I'll keep playing it till it stops. One of the picks was the receiver cutting the route short and Heaps noticed it mid throw and lofted it to the middle of the field. I'm not saying that Heaps played perfect either. He threw one ball that should have been a pick six but it got dropped, he was even starting to run to angle on a tackle. He over shot and under threw receivers. But over all, he was the only player that showed anything on the field tonight for BYU. On the other side of the ball the defense had too many missed tackles, too many blown coverages. Utah State punched BYU in the mouth, dragged them behind the woodshed and emerged 3 hours later shaking the dust off their hands. It was an absolute drubbing. Good for the Aggies, they looked like they turned a corner tonight. Was that just because it was BYU or could they carry it into the rest of the season? It remains to be seen but for their sake, I hope it carries. It would be good to see 3 good programs in the state of Utah. I would relish it in fact.

I'm going to look at BYU's schedule again:

vs. Washington W 23-17

@ Air Force L 35-14

@ Florida State L 34-10

vs. Nevada L 27-13

@ Utah State L 31-16

vs. SDSU Prediction: L (the team that beat up the team that beat BYU up)

@ TCU Prediction: L (worst loss of the year here, could be 56-0)

vs. Wyoming Prediction: W (only because it's at Lavell Edwards)

vs. UNLV Prediction: W (it's still UNLV)

@ Colorado State Prediction: W (still CSU)

vs. New Mexico Prediction: W (Bingham AND Alta could beat that squad)

@ Utah Prediction: L (Not a freakin chance)

When was the last time BYU only won 5 games? 2004, the last year under Crowton. Yes Cougar fans, it's THAT bad right now. My questions right now if I were a Cougar fan would not be if we can salvage this year, but what about next year? Will that offensive line be able to pick up blocks better? Are there enough WRs out there to fill a spot that needs to be binged? Are the LBs ever going to get better? Can the defensive line eat a block already? Who will Heaps hand the ball off to? At this rate, Harvey Langi would be better than anyone they have, and he looks to be committing to Stanford. (I hope to hell NOT! He needs, I mean needs to be a UTE!)

Hat's off to the Aggies though. They played great and hopefully they continue the success the showed tonight.
