Dear people who say they would take Wynn over Heaps,

Intellectual Honesty. Get some.

Love,

Vinylone.
 
I'm not giving up on Doman. I think that's rash this early. He certainly showed flashes of good play-calling drives in both games thus far. BYU is barely getting snaps off in time (because Doman is indecisive) and personnel are all over the place. Doman is obviously still learning the gig and that's understandable at this point of his tenure. Easier opponents later on will make a lot of difference and aid his development greatly.

I don't understand the run-run-pass-on-third-down-for-2-yards mentality with this type of personnel. BYU hasn't had a bell cow RB in years and that's how it seems Doman is calling the plays. And even when BYU has had a good RB they set up his running with the pass not the other way around. Not to mention the WRs aren't going to run away from most people. So the catch has to be made beyond the marker. Again, complement the pass with the run not the other way around.

I'm much more concerned with the lack of good tackling yesterday than anything else. But I expect Bronco has that at the top of his list.

Good special teams for most part.
 
If I had to pick between the two, right now, I would take Heaps over Wynn, and I wouldn't even have to stop to think about it.

Has Wynn thrown anything longer than 15 yds yet?

He must be because he had more yards and 2 less INT than Heaps on Saturday.

You're logic is sound if the QB is the only player on the team.

At this moment, and IMO, Heaps is a better QB than Wynn. Heaps doesn't launch into a panic stricken retreat when his primary receiver is covered. Wynn has a more talented receiving corps, and yet has the same W-L record as Heaps this season. Plus, honestly, I think Heaps biggest impediment is Doman. He has been less than impressive, so far.
 
If Jake Heaps were QB'ing for the Utes right now, they'd be 2-and-0 and quite possibly ready to make a run at an unbeaten season. He's easily better than Wynn. Devonte Christoper and Dres Anderson are already deadly, imagine them with Heaps slinging the ball. What have we learned from all of this? Obviously Jake Heaps made the wrong choice of schools.
 
Play-calling is just terrible right now. Defense is fine. The problems are on offense and mostly Doman. Not ready to bail on him yet. The easier schedule should allow him to develop as an OC better.

I thought the comment made by the commentator about Doman not being in the press box was an interesting one. I never really thought about that until he mentioned it. Maybe that would help a bit.
 
Do you all want to keep arguing that Heaps is way better than Wynn?


Im going to go ahead and say.......I told you so!

I think Doman has a lot on his plate and that's why he feels he needs to be on the sideline. I think when you're in the box you can divorce yourself from a lot of distractions. Not to mention just the ability to see the defense better. I know he has guys doing that for him but I think a rookie OC needs the box more than a veteran just to close him off a bit from the chaos on the sideline. Doman is worried about the team but he needs to worry about himself for now.
 
BYU is one Houston Nutt poor decision away from being 0-3, and with Central Florida and USU looming, along with road games vs. TCU, Oregon State, and Hawaii, the Cougars are staring at the real possibility of missing out on the Bell Helicopter® Armed Forces Bowl. Talk about a disastrous start to Independence.
 
Doman up top. Offense looked a bit more organized and improved but still a ways to go. Heaps is trying to aim the ball too much but credit UCF for tight coverage. Not a lot of penalties or huge mistakes. Good defense and special teams.
