BYU vs Nevada thread.......

[jay santos]

Game's tomorrow and no posts in this thread for three days?

I watched part of the Nevada Cal game and that's it and haven't looked at any of Nevada's stats, though I hear their offense is on fire.

I'm sorry but I just can't accept the fact that Nevada is favored in Provo. I don't care what year it is.

I expect Cougs to win this game.

We'll score a lot of points. I hope Heaps can play within the offense and not try to do too much and keep his composure.

I expect the D to give up a lot of points but come up with enough big plays to stop a few drives and give us the chance to win.

I just pray we can actually complete a pass more than 7 yards downfield for a change.

The line is moving too (4.5 when I last checked). I guess a lot of people are putting their money on NV.

I also think the byu wins. It can be really hard to score in Provo

(which is why I always drove up to Squaw Peak).

We better win in a shootout because there is no way our defense holds this Nevada team to less than 35.

Most of y'all proabably already know - but it's not been posted in this thread. ONeal Chambers got suspended for two games. Won't play or practice until after Utah State...

Means Cody Hoffman and Spencer Hafoka need to have a nice game. The tight ends do too.

I've been thinking about this. We've got a total of ZERO receivers that instill any kind of confidence. Even Jacobsen and Ashworth have been horrible. Not a good starting point.

On paper this receiving corp looked tall and deep. Apo, gone for the year and take out Chambers, suddenly we don't look so deep or physical. Mckay been absolutely absent this year and Ashworth has not stepped up. This is going to be a long year. DiLuigi has been the best pass catcher, I wouldnt have foreseen that a month ago.

Was anybody listening to Gunther and Jan today when they were talking to the reporter from Reno? The reporter said Nevada has a DE that runs a 4.08 forty.

4.08. Pshhht. Please.

Deion Sander's forty time was a 4.1.

Is Thomas playing at safety? didn't he suffer a concussion last week?

A 4.1 is impossible. I wish I could find the article but someone timed Ben Johnson's first 40 at Seoul and it was something like 4.3.

[Hsaru]

Comparing 40 times of olympic athletes is useless, reacting to the gun adds .24 seconds to your time instead of self starting like the NFL's 40 yard dash.

The fastest ever recorded NFL combine 40 yard dash is Chris Johnson at 4.24.

[TripletDaddy]

40 times are impressive. They really come in handy for the portion of the game when all the players line up side by side at the goal line and race towards midfield untouched, without pads, and in a straight line. If Gunther is correct, BYU is going to get killed during that portion of the game.

Both Gunther and Jan called BS on it. They said he may be fast but he ain't 4.08 fast.
