now that utah has joined a bcs conference and has landed on its feet football-wise

if byu got into real trouble as an independent...would kyle wittingham go back to save his alma mater?

I'm primarily a Ute fan, but I don't want to see BYU fall apart. In any other year, maybe this is just a bad year, but to dissolve conference affiliation and add that to an already pathetic recruiting pool could be disastrous. The Cougars got lucky when they fired Crowton and missed out on Whittingham, I'm not sure they'll be able to dodge a bullet again if they decide they're sick of Mahatma Mendenhall.

Already? Bronco has been on the clock for the past three years. It's time to jettison his ***!

I think it's pretty safe to say that BYU's recruiting desperately needs to improve. Even Utah St looks far more athletic...

I'd acually be for BYU being a good program if they were staying in the Mountain West to make that conference stronger. But since they fled to become Independent, screw them. They can suck independently.

Have you been living the past 3 years in a cave?

No. He's been a Ute far longer than he was ever a Cougar.

I didn't see the game but just watched the highlights or for byu the lowlights on Sportscenter. Apparently Bronco Mendenhall's plan was to have his freshman QB pass it all game long, 55 passes for Heaps? You have no faith in your running game at all Bronco? I guess the problem was they weren't going against BYU's weak rush defense. Who apparently make Diondre Borell look like Mike Vick.

If you watched the game the reason why BYU didn't run is because they are terrible at it. This is the worse BYU team I have seen in a long time. They may not even be .500. They have lost 4 games and they most likely will lose against TCU and Utah. So right there is six loses. I have my doubts they can beat SDS or UNLV. Their WR cannot get any separation and when they are open they drop the ball. Their overall lack of team speed just jumps off the screen when you watch them. I can't see the Cougars quickly turning this thing around soon even though I think Heap has potential and talent.

Most people do not want to admit it but the reason why Utah State is more athletic is because they have a lot more African American players. Its that simple.
