Big 12 Writer Calls BYU a Powerhouse

Fewer risks for Big 12 coaches early on:

(AP)-Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops knows all too well the risks of starting a season against another powerhouse team. Just picture Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Sam Bradford writhing in pain with a shoulder injury in the first half of the Sooners' season-opening loss to BYU last September. "It's only good if you win and you don't get your qb hurt," Stoops said Monday. "It's high risk, and I think fairly low reward...You're not really rewarded for it as much as you used to be for playing a tough schedule. Pretty much everybody gets ranked in the column depending on wins and losses." ...I'm not a big fan of playing a nationally prominent program in the early stages, the conference schedule is tough enough..

Found this gem in a Lubbock paper.

announcer for arizona and washington game just said that Max hall came from "a big time program at BYU" when comparing Hall to Skelton. Quite the compliment for BYU.

Nice find. Alot of pub lately for BYU. Now lets get a W on saturday and make it count.

If nothing else, this whole mess was really put BYU in the spot light. Of course, if BYU wins, they climb the polls very quickly (last year top 10, year before top 10). If BYU can start 3-0, I expect a very healthy ranking.....
