Tulsa is good and could most likely beat us this year if we played. Speaking of a running QB, how much of our success on defense is a result of playing QBs who aren't able to run? If Carta Samuels would have decided to tuck and run a little more we could have easily lost to Wyoming.
I do not buy the running QB kills BYU argument anymore.

I agree with Lawboy.

The point is that had BYU payed UCF's schedule, we might be 7-2 as well

Perhaps true. They beat 6-4 ECU 49-35, and they beat 5-4 Houston 40-33 on the road.



We only have one good win, 24-21 over SDSU in Provo.

byu's defense is getting quicker with the talent coming in next year and in to the future. our ability to deal with qbs that run will just get better and better.



running qbs give us trouble but then again they give everybody trouble.


They are only a problem when they can run well and throw reasonably well. They are easy to shut down if they are not accurate with the throws ala Jake Locker in week 1. When he is on target with his throws, he tears up decent teams. When he is off target, he is pretty easy to shut down. And he is a senior who could have been a 1st round pick last year if not the #1 pick. BYU D exposed Jake Locker.
