If he is not performing on the field as expected of him, then either he is not doing everything in his power to get better, the coaches are not coaching him up, they are not putting him in a position to win, or some crazy combination of all the aforementioned. Practice, practice, practice, and practice until you improve. jjg4sc likes this.

True, as well Definitely more consistent this season 11 penalties this game, so the jury is still out on this Absolutely agree Yes, they have. The impact of the new coaching staff is evident I think that is a factor, but I have to give the BYU defense a lot of credit. They beat us and did a great job with their Defense.

Coming into the season the talk was that the team played soft last year because the coaching staff was soft. We don't give up in the face of adversity. While Helton will never be confused with an elite coach, he has the team playing hungry, and rising to the occasion. Irregardless of who the coach is, it won't interfere with me enjoying the win, or going in to church tomorrow and talking crap. jjg4sc and pgoodman like this.

At some point we have to realize certain players are not what we bought they’d be. We’re not very heavy at the LB spot, that’s a issue that must be addressed this year in recruiting.

And yes , this OL is night and day ahead of what we were watching last year. Why did Fink have the day he had ? You’re not watching the entire thing develop in front of you. If we don’t get rushing yards it’s not only due to the OL, there are other factors. Like how many guys did Utah have up front ? Utah playing man to man tells you right away that the backers will be close to the line , so running the ball becomes harder. How much time did Dink have to throw ? Yes the OL is playing a lot better.
