Cougars 2011-12 Football Discussion

Now, for your next trick, we should meet at a private gym and settle this discussion of whose sports team is better by lifting weights and not pressing charges, bro.
 
Sorry, just trying to pick up Little Brother. Didn't know you'd go postal. For the rest of the year, you're on your own in the Pac12.

Oh, so you're not man enough to face me in a weight room ONE ON ONE??? You don't know postal until you've seen me get on a bike in the morning, also. I am so postal right now.
 
NUMBERICA - CONAN is right, you know. BYU has a better record against the PAC12.

Utah is 0-3, with losses to USC (5-1), Washington (5-1), and Arizona St. (5-2)

BYU is 1-1, with a win over Oregon St. (1-5), and a loss to, um... well, it escapes me at the moment, but they did lose to some other PAC12 team.

Please just admit when you are wrong.

I agree. If Utah wants to be taken seriously, they're going to have to start beating some real teams, instead of just the insignificant posers.

Like Oregon St. And presumably the next step up would be Sacramento St. if they were on the schedule.
 
Montana St. is one of the best FCS teams this year.

You know you're getting a bad FCS with Idaho State. MSU will likely beat ISU by 30+ points when they meet (ISU's next opponent after BYU).
 
With Weber State putting up 39 points and 508 yards of total offense on Idaho State last week, there's a few things I'm just dying to know:

-Can BYU beat those numbers?
-Can they rush for more yards (308) than Weber St. did?
-If they don't, does that mean Weber>BYU?
-Next year when Ron McBride returns to Provo, how hilarious is it going to be when the Wildcats leave with a victory?
-If BYU does indeed manage to lose to Weber in 2012, does all of Provo commit suicide?
-Does Riley Nelson's parents know that he is gay?
 
Here's a question...

What happens if Riley Nelson leads the Cougs to wins over TCU and Hawaii this year? Both those games should be decently tough (especially the TCU game).

But what happens if he leads the Cougs from here on out?

Can Heaps realistically challenge Nelson for his spot? How ridiculous would this situation turn into if Nelson is benched after leading the Cougs to essentially an undefeated season with himself at the helm? If Heaps sees Nelson lead the Cougs to an undefeated season, does he already get his transfer papers ready?

While everyone in the media seems all concerned over Saint Duron Williams Heaps, I think the Cougs should stick with the guy that's winning. Who gives a damn how much of an arm Heaps has? He doesn't win while Nelson does (if he continues to win for the rest of this season).

It all changes if Nelson gets injured or perhaps loses or looks like dump against a legit opponent. But what happens if he looks good for the rest of this season? What happens if he keeps leading this team to victory?

Just win baby? Or does BYU revert back to Saint Heaps with hopes that he'll "just win baby?"
 
If Nelson wins out, the job has got to be his to lose next year. If Heaps has a problem with that, he's got some options

* He can work his butt off and try to beat out Nelson next year (this is the one I'm hoping for)
* He can wait until his senior year to start again
* He can ask to redshirt
* He can transfer
 
My guess is Riley finishes the season strong against weak competition and Heaps transfers. I understand the move to Nelson, but I think it was TERRIBLE timing by BYU coaches. Right now is the exact time Heaps should be playing. He could actually get some confidence against the likes of San Jose St, Idaho St, etc. Instead, coaches had Heaps in there during the toughest part of BYU's schedule and then benched him for the games they were bound to win regardless of who was playing QB.

I think the only way Heaps' career at BYU is salvaged is if Nelson get's injured during the next few games and it is Heaps who leads them to the strong finish. Otherwise, I think the kid bolts.
