Poll: BYU Football 2013 edition goes...

What will BYU's record be at the end of the season?

  • Total voters
    31
Where is the 0-12 option? Yet another fail poll.
 
I do not have a testimony of church ball.
 
It's a great defense and the offense can only improve. Even so prolly in for only about 8 wins.

So then what specifically about the offense is preventing you from predicting more wins?

I wouldn't necessarily say it's the offense preventing more wins. Personally I think the offense will be fine (relative to general progression given where they came from) but they're not going to carry the team in the way needed to beat the top teams on the schedule. The way I see it the top tier games are BSU, Wisc, ND, and Tex. I figure BYU to go 1-3 there (most likely BSU or Tex but best chance BSU). And then probably lose a game they should've won (my guess there would be Houston).

But to continue the offensive tangent . . . BYU's offense will be fine against most teams. But I just don't see them (or anyone) doing much against the defenses of BSU and ND. Then you take Wisc with Anderson who obviously has BYU's number and now the talent besides. And Texas is just too good. Maybe underachieving but the talent is there and Mack Brown is motivated.

Don't get me wrong BYU can hang with anyone defensively and they'll give BYU a puncher's chance against anyone but I just don't see the offense being at the level needed to score 21+ on those four teams. Maybe if they get the running game going. Or maybe if BYU had better special teams but that isn't happening.
