Texas @ BYU

Did Brandon Doman get fired? I heard him on 1280 this morning. I just thought he was moved back in to a QB coach or something.
 
I think this will sum up the game nicely.

Basically. They gave him an option to return in some form or another. But it would not have been as a coach. Anae was given full control of offensive staff. And he did not want his previous replacement on the staff for some odd reason.

Naw. At worst, we're going to see things play out similarly to last year. They might lose a few more games, but it will always be close because their defense is still good. They lost by an average of 6 last year.

Everyone who is excited to see this particular scenario raise your hand.


Indeed.


Thank the Gods we'll be handing Utah their *** this year, or else this season might be a total failure.

Are you saying that BYU will hand Utah their *** this year for certain? I cant tell.

I was very worried about that game as a Utah fan but after seeing Taysom and their O-line I was relieved quite a bit....but Its the Utah/Byu rivalry and anything can happen. Bronco KNOWS he cant go into this two year break of not playing Utah losing 4 straight. And that worries me.

Lol, if Bronco knew what was and wasn't acceptable, his team wouldn't be a complete joke right now. BYU is staring down the barrel of 0-and-3 and Utah will gladly be the team that gives them the final shove into the abyss. The only thing more satisfying will be watching Jake Heaps put up huge numbers at Kansas.

It's infinitely harder to take losses that happen because you have no offense than it is to lose in a shootout, that's for sure. In fact, I think that's one of the best cases against Mendenhall. The main knock seems to be that they don't beat teams they aren't supposed to beat under him and struggle in close games regardless, but secondary to that to me is that BYU has struggled to be entertaining and to live up to the pass happy reputation that made them who they are. It's hard having a guy that doesn't specialize in offense being the head coach at BYU.
 
I only watched 75% of the game last week so I may have missed some things, but I didn't think Taysom Hill was too horrible. I thought the OFFENSIVE LINE was horrible. They didn't give him any time to throw. It's hard to go deep when you've got to get the pass off in 0.5 seconds.

Also, has there been any news on Hoffman? I haven't read any reports at all. Why didn't he play? Will he be playing this week?

Agree to an extent but I don't think you need to see BYU return to the pass happy days with an offensive minded coach to make fans happy. I'm guessing BYU fans would be just fine with winning scores like 17-to-3 against teams like Texas, Utah, Notre Dame, etc. Fans just want to watch good football, and whatever BYU has going on offensively right now is certainly not good. The flip side of that is, it's awfully hard to hold teams like Texas to 3 points, even with a good defense. Yes, you need some offense but without an O-line, you can't even get started. Colton nailed it: Taysom probably isn't that bad, but how can you tell with the amount of pressure he's facing?

Going forward, BYU's 2013 season (and maybe Bronco's job) will be defined by whether or not the O-line can get better on the fly. The team sports a great front 7 on Defense, at the very least a decent QB, and some amazing skill players on offense (Jamal and Hoffman). However, it's hard to envision BYU with a winning record unless that O-line pulls it together.
 
Proof of the BYU hype machine:

All we have heard about the last 5 years is how amazing BYU's QB recruits are, and how terrible Utah's QB's are.

Yet, both offenses have been terrible. Wrubell is still talking BCS bowls, while most pundits are talking 6 wins for Utah.

Uhhhhhh....ok?

If BYU fan thinks they have a chance in the Utah game, good for you. That night will be a long night for you. No matter what happens this weekend, win or lose, BYU will still be talking about how great they are.

Heck, if BYU is 0-2 and Utah is 3-0, all we will hear about is how Utah barely beat a bad USU team, beat a FCS team and how OSU sucks because they lost to a FCS team. All we will hear about BYU is how great their defense is, how Texas is awesome and BYU almost beat them, how BYU beat themselves against Virginia, the weather, the offense will be awesome, out of BYU's 30 NFL offensive linemen, they are awesome now, how BYU's defense will rock Utah, blah blah blah.

Then Utah will win. Utah fan will hopefully wonder if that will finally shut BYU fan up. But it won't. The fanbase will the largest forearms in the country will continue to dribble on and on about beating themselves. Porn usage in Utah County will continue to rise, and BYU will continue to beat themselves. I've come to terms with this.

I'll also enjoy Utah beating BYU like a rented mule in a couple of weeks.
 
Worst ute fan ever

Jazzman is probably the best, lefty is pretty cool and there are some other good ones.

Green is the thriller/conan of ute fans... congrats
