This has been a truly sucky year for BYU sports. The isu loss grates on me like no other, except the loss to Utah. Who loses at home due to an inability to hit free throws?!Originally posted by SCcoug View PostNo worries, the women's soccer team lost their second round NCAA tournament game against Colorado last night 2-1!

How many years has Bronco known our Oline sucks but he has done little to rectify that."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

I think that he signed 9 OL in the 2013 recruiting class with 5 of them being JC guys means he knew that the line was a fairly large weakness. I also think a big reason Dr Bob is back is because of the OL. But yes, it did take him longer than I would have liked to really identify and figure out what was wrong offensively.Originally posted by Topper View PostHow many years has Bronco known our Oline sucks but he has done little to rectify that.

He has had a rather poor Oline most years he has been coach. It is fundamental football. It starts with good lines.Originally posted by Sizzle View PostI think that he signed 9 OL in the 2013 recruiting class with 5 of them being JC guys means he knew that the line was a fairly large weakness.

Trust me. You and CJ are wasting your time. Topper is the most pessimistic BYU fan in history. Nothing you say will convince him that the sky isn't falling. I feel sorry for him as it must be a miserable way to go through life.Originally posted by Sizzle View PostI think that he signed 9 OL in the 2013 recruiting class with 5 of them being JC guys means he knew that the line was a fairly large weakness.

Actually, men's cross country is looking like a likely top 10 finisher at the NCAA championships today. They are ranked #8, and a couple of weeks ago the NCAA gave their top runner from 2012 (Jared Ward) an extra year. With Ward in the lineup, they have a pretty good shot at a top 3 finish. I live about 9 hours from Terre Haute (the site of the championships), and I gave some thought to driving down there to watch (I ran CC in high school and follow it a bit closer than most minor sports).Originally posted by Topper View PostThis has been a truly sucky year for BYU sports.

Really? Football is won in the trenches? Huh, had no idea. Beautiful insight.Originally posted by Topper View PostHe has had a rather poor Oline most years he has been coach. It is fundamental football. It starts with good lines.
I can't think of many (any?) who have been more critical of Coach Weber than me. I'd felt that he should have been fired four years ago, so trying to tell me that the OL has sucked is something that I agree with. But it's very clear that this is something they've tried to address this offseason. IMO in years past, the larger issue was coaching as I felt like the talent was there, the line just underperformed. This year, I think the larger issue was talent deficiency, which is why I think BYU went after 5 JC OL.
I do think progress has been made, and while they are definitely the weak spot of the team and aren't where they need to be, the issue has been addressed. You don't turn a unit like that around dramatically in one season, especially with a lack of talent/inexperience. Next year should be better with Kearsley, Fabojule, Wesley, Matthews and Crichton hopefully all healthy.
