Well, my hopes that BYU would make it respectable were dashed. I'm still up in the air on what our defense can be, hard to be effective with the TOP disparity that exists. Really my takeaways from the week on BYU are that Detmer needs to get his act together, we are pretty deficient in our talent at the RB position, tough to assess WR witg our QB play, and our local reporters monumentally oversold where we were at.

I know this has been mentioned before, but it really is a testament to the coaching staff how prepared and mature the young players played. Stacked talent and fastidious coaching seems to point towards great things for your program. Etling was playing with a clear understanding of what was expected of him and I thought his deep ball looked pretty. Guice goes without saying. The Defense was suffocating. I do feel bad our boys couldn't provide some stiffer competition. But if I were an LSU fan I would be really pleased with my team.

It has been great interacting with y'all. Best of luck with your season, if any of my thoughts about BYU are correct you guys are in for a very dominant season. Also if all of your opponents could have negative rushing yards at the end of the game that'd help me feel better about things. Appreciate it!

Quick question. How many BYU starters returned from last year's defense?

6, though some of the DL had a lot of playing time.

Thanks! Hopefully they can pull it together and play competitively. If they pick up a win in the next few weeks this performance is going to be that much otherworldly for LSU! I hope we can do that for you guys!

Thanks to you, man. I appreciate your well-thought out posts and insight. hopefully, we can schedule a home and home so that I have an excuse to visit Utah at some point.

I attempted to name my fantasy football team after you but it was 2 too many characters so I settled on Jack Roundstone

I always appreciate the classy fans of non con opponents who come back after a loss. Kudos to you sir, and I hope your Cougars have a great rest of the season.

The game plan wasn't all that bad. Stacking the box against lsu only works for a few select teams. The zone looks kept lsu from getting the breakaway homerun plays in the run game, but allowing 5 yards per rush pretty much killed your TOP. Can't score without the football. The red zone defense was stout.

I will be back at the very least after you dismantle 'Bama! Nick Saban rubs me the wrong way, petty as it may be, I love watching them lose! I would love a home and home but understand we're a 2 for 1 type of team. Oh well, c'est la vie.

Unfortunately even if we would have had 10 more chances on offense I don't see them going anywhere.

It seemed that your guys played with honor on the field. I saw players helping players of the opposing team up off the ground and they all seemed to have a mutual respect for each other. I appreciate the in depth analysis you gave before the game, and I really hope for both of our sakes that you guys blow everyone else out!

Oh, I hope we do. U fans are insufferable, they say the rivalry is dead and we don't mean anything to them. But, if we really didn't mean anything to them they wouldn't comment incessantly on things related to BYU. Also no team has been more relevant than them, the stuff I hear from my friends that are Utah fans drives me crazy.
