Spring/Summer/Fall Hopes = Disappointed
I was excited all Spring, Summer and Fall Camp that BYU would have marked upgrades at WR and the corners (although I hold nothing against what Skye Povey was trying to do last year on one good foot).
Fast-forward to the season opener, and Mitch Mathews is still starting at WR with only one true new guy in the rotation at WR, and we are starting a redshirt freshman and a kid who was playing receiver last year as our corners.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Granted this should only be a one-week detour, but it's disappointing nonetheless.
I have to say the corner situation has me concerned though-->by all appearances, the outside passing game looks to be UConn's biggest strength on O, and we are short our top-3 corners this game (Johnson, Trammel, and Daniel). This may give UConn an opening to score a good bit more points than most anyone is thinking going into this.

Why would you expect something different from the normal MO? That's your problem. We'll always lack speedy WRs and corners. The speedy ones go elsewhere.

This year we have them, they're just all sitting on a couch in Provo tonight, one for injury (Kurtz), the rest for boneheaded behavior.Gunk wrote:Why would you expect something different from the normal MO? That's your problem. We'll always lack speedy WRs and corners. The speedy ones go elsewhere.

Povey is starting. Probably healthier. More experienced. Safety will be OK. We did not have JJ and TT last year. It will be serviceable enough for week 1. Anae and the offense need to carry the defense and special teams.
Anae just might be the guy. Wisconsin DC says Anae is totally unpredictable because he just runs a bunch of plays with no rhyme or reason. Whooped Butt on Houston DC for 3 of 4 quarters. Destroyed Texas DC and HC careers.
