"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Originally posted by cougjunkie View PostI will be honest, I don't see a ton of talent on this team.
QB: Mangum has underachieved in his 7 years at BYU. Wilson seems to have talent but any time you start a true freshman, no matter how good they are it means you lack depth.
RB: Squally will do great against bad teams, get stifled against everyone else. He is huge this year, if he makes one cut and gets downfield like Jamaal did then we might be ok. The fact that Hoge is already 2nd string is a problem.
WR: they all suck. Dylan Collie was the 4th best WR at Hawaii last year and he will be our best wideout this year.
TE: Bushman and MLP should be ok.
OL: If we have Empey, Hoge and healthy Lui in the middle, we might be ok. The tackles are a huge question mark for me. Hoyt, Shoaf and Brady Christensen don't excite me.
DL: Shit show, Corbins is highly overrated
LB: We are going to get ran all over with a smaller Butch, and a converted safety in Zayne playing LB. Remember the Matt Hadley experiment at LB last year? Also Takitaki is not good in the run game.
DB: Wilcox is Mike Davis 2.0. Always in position, never makes plays. Shelton makes goatnapper look tall. Safeties should be ok.
I think we are staring at 5-7 wins no matter the QB. So why not start Wilson and let him take his lumps? If you start Wilson you do risk losing Jaren Hall. I also think Ed Lamb said Critchlow was the future just to keep him from transferring.
Which do you think has more long-term upside - Wilson or Hall?"I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

News from Criddle says Zach Wilson will start. Not a great sign."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

Originally posted by YOhio View PostGreat writeup. Thanks! I do feel quite a bit more comfortable on the OL with Grimes in place. He's a pretty special coach. If the OL is working then it's a force multiplier for everything else on the offense. Which we'll clearly need considering the deficiencies in the D.
As long as 1 of those 5-7 wins is against Utah then I'm happy.*Banned*

Realistic: 5 wins
- McNeese State
- Hawaii
- Northern Illinois
- UMass
- NMSU
Optimistic: 6 wins
- add Utah State
Blue-eyed goggles: 7 wins
- In order to win 7 we would need to beat one of AZ, Wisconsin, Washington, Boise State or Utah on the road, or beat Cal at home. I'm always hopeful, but not optimistic.
Pure fantasy: 8+ wins.
If this happens Grimes should get a statue on the quad next to Brother Brigham himself.

He sure stepped into a situation that has a lot of downside but not much upside.Last edited by Topper; 08-14-2018, 05:21 PM."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

I guess we don't know what we have with Gunner, yet. People hoping he's Austin Collie 2.0.
Simon looking sucky, too?
