BYU looks amazing. Can they be stopped?

If this is a pattern for BYU, which I believe is the case, then being 8-4 every year as an independent really kind of throws you into obscurity.

If BYU was independent this year, what would they be playing for now? As it is this year, they can focus on winning a conference championship. Next year, if they start 1-2, with two blowout losses, what is there to play for?
 
Gooooooooooooo Cougars!

If Heaps is firmly the guy now, I'm okay with this game. I'm not sure that happened though. Horrible on both sides of the ball. At least I got my money back after losing on a BYU bet last week.
 
This is the worst BYU defense I've seen since Bronco took over and it's not even close. TCU and Utah are definitely losses, and I wouldn't be suprised to see Nevada come to town next week and beat them as well. Nevada hung 52 points on Cal. I see nothing from BYU's defense that says they'll be able to stop an explosive Wolfpack offense.

This is a 7-and-5 football team. No reason not to put Heaps in full time and at least try to get on with the future.
 
Good hell. That's the QB you guys have been begging to play more? Wounded duck throws that completely missed the receivers. 4-5 fumbles. No pocket presence. I can see he has a strong arm but does he do anything else a QB needs to do to be successful?

This is the 1st time I have seen him play and I was not impressed in the least. I also watched Nevada play yesterday and I think they are going to beat BYU handily.

Now the question is whether the line really sucks, the WRs can't get open, or that he is holding onto the ball for too long. Probably all of the above.

I was speaking just of his throwing motion anyway but obviously haters got hate. It's clear the kid has an arm and a bright future. Now how quickly that future gets here is another story.

As for what you were talking about the line is built more for run-blocking and initially were working with a more mobile QB. So now a shift needs to happen there. Heaps definitely struggled to stay in the pocket and caused some problems with happy feet. I don't think he was hanging onto the ball too long so much as he was taking to long to get through his reads.

As for the WRs getting open that is never going to happen much at BYU. They depend on scheme for guys to get open for the most part and they have some new WRs to break in and they aren't super impressive anyway (even given BYU WR low athletic standards).

The defense certainly isn't helping.

Trial by fire for sure and it's just great that he's out there.
