Is BYU finally Ready? Talk me off them against UCONN -16.

[akphidelt]

Alright, BYU has played a pretty difficult schedule the past 2 seasons. This year is much easier. But it is an east coast game, with Texas up next week. Not sure I count look ahead games too much after the first game of the season.

But BYU is stacked on offense, they pretty much bring back everyone from last year except for couple receivers. But they picked up UTEP's top receiver from the past two years and one of their better receivers that got injured last year. But they were 10th in rushing last year and another year under their belt with everyone back, I think Taysom Hill is going to be much improved in the passing attack, and they will just slam the ball down UConn's throat. I can't see Uconn stopping this offense.

BYU did lose quite a bit of a pieces on defense up front, but have a solid secondary with some of the pieces back.

I can see this 42-17 type game. I just can't see Uconn being able to stop this rushing attack nor keep up with BYU's pace.

Anyone see any reason why not? I did notice the line dropped from -17 to -16... which isn't a great sign.

I've been looking at this one myself. But like you said line movement is not good and a lot of peeps loving uconn

Anybody seeing something I'm not? I just saw that the line has dropped to -15. That's pretty scary. I thought when I saw it at -17 that it would go to -20 by kickoff. What is it that people see about Connecticut that is dropping this line? Might think about buying out. But I just can't see Uconn stopping this rushing attack.

I'm not too worried about the receivers. Losing Williams sucks, but with that O'line you can stick me back there and I'd gain 5 yards a carry. It will be interesting to see. I think I'm going to keep it. I don't think Uconn has a chance of stopping Taysom Hill and whatever backs they have behind that OL.

not only that the 2 players listed as the starting cornerbacks for BYU are NOT on the plane

Damn I did not see that...

Bronco Mendenhall when asked about Daniel and Johnson’s status for Friday night, Mendenhall responded with, “I would love for both of them to start.” That quote alone seemed like a strange remark when speaking of two players listed atop of the depth chart.


Jeff Call from the Deseret News spoke with BYU officials tonight and confirmed that Daniel and Johnson are in fact suspended for tomorrow night’s opener against UConn.
