Ghost of the HEB

Not a coincidence that the WWE is a main sponsor of the conference

byu-p has pulled off a few fakes this year, so we re-tooled the FG block team to be more block-safe (basically just kept the defense on the field). Problem was there wasn’t a timeout or stoppage of clock prior to the FG attempt, so just didn’t have time to be like “wait, zero chance of fake here, get Lohner in”. Kick had a pretty high arc so…[Read more]

Have either a thick stadium chair or blanket to sit on. Transferring your body heat to the metal bench makes ya cold real quick.

Yeah, those random sites are getting Mcclain and Calhoun. Munir is definitely still on the team.

The two of them have combined for 7 catches on the year and haven’t exactly been ideal locker guys. We’ll be fine.

More of him being shown the door yesterday than him quitting. Net positive IMO. Another WR who’s been somewhat of a cancer is also gone.

It’s pretty quiet on the western front… But offensively, I know that having two weeks to prepare has allowed Bajakian to put more of his stamp on things. The week between TCU & Houston was a whirlwind, so not much of that occurred. Therefore, byu-p really can’t just watch previous film and know fully what to expect. The extra time is also…[Read more]

IMO here’s pros and cons of going with Rose in this game

Pros – Much less film on him, 100% healthy, bigger body QB than IW, more likely to be integrated into the running game than IW, Bajakian recruited him hard at NW so there’s a stronger relationship there

Cons – Has attempted 15 career passes at 46% completion, Having first career start be a…[Read more]

Can’t speak for Only U, but here are some thoughts:

I don’t think we would have seen IW pulled from the Houston game if Ludwig was still OC. Ludwig was tight with IW and an integral part of his recruiting process. With the way that process went and the strong pushes made by some big brands late (*cough* Georgia), I’m fairly certain there were…[Read more]

You don’t think going from a top-10-ranked team to four straight losses against bad teams and a mess at quarterback would cause any division and internal issues?

Points never tell the whole story of a singular game, but a large enough sample size and be revealing. If playing offense was a class and each of our opponents was a different standardized test, we are getting much lower scores on the tests than our peers.

The real question is – which brand of beer is everyone bringing for the mandatory tradition of pouring beer on families?

We average 15.8 PPG vs P4 teams this season. If we sniff 35 it’ll be because of rivalry game magic.

Probably beat Arizona, TCU, Houston, and lose to ASU still. Honestly don’t know if we beat OK St with Barnes. Feels like that could’ve looked like the Baylor game did last year where he was pulled for NJ. Again, the offense was not good last year, the team was just better at not losing games they shouldn’t,

What’s interesting is that the 2023 offense actually finished statistically ranked just as bad the 2024 offense currently is. But it sure felt like that team had much more of a “know how to win” factor. Outside of the bowl game, they beat the teams they were supposed to beat, which is a trait that this 2024 team seemingly lost the ability to do. I…[Read more]

Scalley has always been a great recruiter and is far from a Whitt 2.0 when it comes to philosophies. If Whitt hangs it up, there’s plenty of reason to be optimistic about the future.
