Stay focused and don’t get ahead of yourselves. Go Cougz.
After last years performance of the BYU football team, I just have no confidence in this years hopes. Show np e the money.
Well it can’t get much worse than it did last year
🤣🤣🤣🤣, BYU isn't beating Utah or Kansas St.
They will be both of them.
Both of those teams will destroy BYU, especially Utah.@@aisaxonawiat6484
I was at the BYU Miami game in the west bleachers when BYU gave the Hurricanes a severe rethink on life. It was quite the game and one I will never forget.
How BYU Football Will STUN Big 12... By Going 0-12 🤣
I don’t remember you making this same argument last year with Kedon Slovis.. by that logic Slovis should have backed up Jake.. gotta go with the player that gives you the best chance to win, can’t sacrifice this year in hope Retzlaff could possibly be better next year with a year starting under his belt
Go cougars!!!
Post it in the locker room so they can reread it after taking another L.
Bro been taking down all the big teams online in cfb25 people can’t believe it hahaha
EXSPAND OR DIE! Truly, this is the reality of College Football!
I like three divisions of 8 once the ACC implodes. I like Stanford but not Cal. Then adding Wazzu and the Beavers creates an all PAC plus one division. Then the five Big 8 remnants plus three in the midwest division. Then in the East Will be Cincinnati, WVU, and UCF possibly Houston with four ACC schools. Thats really the only way i see us taking them. Could we have two 9-member divisions? Yes but then I'm not sure that moves the needle much. I do believe that the establishment of divisions is critical to reduce travel and to simplify and stabilize scheduling. With 18 members each program would only have one cross division game.
For a regional foot print YES! Cornering the nation wide expanse and Western States involvement bring them on board! BYU already knows all about traveling for GAMES!
WAZZU Beat Miami in the Sun Bowl a few years ago
IYWT 😀
Need to wait for potential opportunities from ACC first. Full confidence in Yormark and Big 12 leadership.
I’d like to see a 30 for 30 on a small football program from a small town in Utah being the last team from a non-cartel conference to win a NC and Heisman. But I’ll never see it.
Byu's D will be better than last year but they lack talent and depth up front which will hurt them. It would be a major accomplishment if they just moved into the top 60 defensively.
All we need out of BYU is to go 6-6 and win their bowl game. We don’t need to win a national championship or conference championship. I’ll be happy once we get that and continue to build upon it.
Well, im a biased Wazzu fan, but i'd really love to get them into the conference. If the big 12 can handle being across all the time zones, adding the pac 2 brings the assets that are left from the pac, as well as getting at solid chunk of NW viewership. Not sure if us BYU fans are in a great position to be picky about who else 'deserves' or should be getting into the conference...
"I think, maybe, perhaps....." As if this guy speaks for BYU. He has zero sources high up in the Athletic Dept and can only cite a fan poll he put out. The PAC 2 have already come out and said there is zero truth to this rumor that was started by the unreliable MHver3 one day out of nowhere. Feeling "sorry" for a program is not a reason to add a school. I know you two are podcasters but how about you try to actually vet some of this nonsense you guys put out there. SMH
Having a conversation about adding OSU/WSU to the B12? Drake Toll must be in the room.
There are better choices out there.... BYU needs to focus on their football programs deficiencies at this point rather than stick its nose in this stuff. Miami, Louisville, Pitt would be hands down better choices...
Nah. We don’t want them. Pass.
The Big 12 is more interested in what's happening in the ACC.
It's about depth . . .
If the players develop into lottery picks, they will lead BYU to a national championship. If BYU doesn't win a natty, it means the players haven't developed. All rests on what BYU does on the court.
The Red Warriors are legit. Don't count Ethan out.
Hey Jake I'm curious on your observations on Keanu Hill. I've assumed he's going to be a plug and play TE, but position changes can be hard. I haven't heard much about him at all since his position change...how has he looked so far? Is he running with the 1s / is he making plays?? Curious if you think he's locked up the starting TE role or if that's still completely open
GB is proven at power conference. If he is healthy, BYU should start him.
This is so much fun to see
I doubt it: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mWWZxtOQote-fdI.html
Ryner the Viking Swanson
Pressure on opposing QBs would make a huge difference. That is what would change close loses into Ws.
I'm so glad Siela Esera is healthy and killing it in practice. I'm also glad that Mory Bamba is putting it all together.
I like GB but I’d be happy with JR as well. I just want some wins and some competence out of the offense. Like most years, both QBs will be needed.
You know it’s going to be a rough season when he says they are going to get flamed by Utah
So glad to hear that Ryner plans to serve a mission. :-)
I’m a little confused by what he meant when talking about the Utah game: “we’re gonna get flamed.” What does that mean?
Flamed basically means heckled. He's basically saying it's going to be a hostile environment
@@chase3rd1 Thanks for the clarification, my first interpretation was that he was saying that they were going to lose hard to Utah.
Simple Jake- Bohannon is more talented than Retzlaff. Continuity is nice but i go Bohannon.
i don't care how good your tight end is if a rod doesn't know how to get them the ball they will block the whole game. a rod offense play calling lacks a fot of thought
Jake.... this BYU Cougar Nation clip is for you.... kzread.info9B5JiSw0CQo?si=mt6rSCXOmhxdExS0
No one cares about this. Just talk about the Cougarettes.
Let's be honest. This is less to do with Kevin Young and way more to do with the zillionaire Jazz Owner finding a new hobby.
Not totally bro, you got to remember without KY they wouldn't put up the money. They didn't put up the money for coachbpope and they don't put up the money for kalani. It takes both in my humble opinion, a credible, serious coach that donors have confidence to commit the money to show the players that command mo money mo money. Where all this ultimately goes I'm not too sure, but I'm going to enjoy the ride while it lasts.
@@kdeltatube They wouldve ponied up for Pope as well. 2024 was when schools started to wave the white flag on all the laundered booster buying and said if you cant beat them, join them. Pope was a very successful and popular coach who laid a lot of the groundwork to build those NIL coffers. He walked, so KY could run.
@@mgers75 very well could be, if Kentucky has showed the money, that's an indication, but OTH, we would expect Kentucky to be big in the money anyhow. So, as to how much they'd ponied up for Pope if still at Y, we can't be sure. My inclination is not as much as with KY. Maybe that understanding was part of his hiring.
@@kdeltatube That was part of the recruiting pitch for KY who was in the running for NBA HC jobs. Come and will give you a WARCHEST. Danny Ainge and the Jazz owner were part of the hiring process
I like both guys a lot. I will root for whoever wins the qb competition. I think GB could definitely win games for BYU but I think his ceiling is lower than Retzlaff. That Baylor year was his peak and anyone who watched that team knew he was by no means lighting it up. Baylor was quick to move on from him. He might be better than Retzlaff but I think Retzlaffs ceiling is unknown. Why not see what we have in Retzlaff after a full offseason and a year where expectations are low? Personally I think Retzlaff has potential to be very good. We will see!
I agreed with those here that wishing that GB would be our QB1. Jake… how about let’s just leave next year 2025 for next year 2025, til we get there. Let’s look at GB, we have NOT seen or focus on him on a BYU uniform. Another thing is… let’s sharp him up for another NFL QB BYU PRODUCT… that’s why they come to BYU, to get to their dream level of playing football. Hé would be good, what I also like about GB, he can runs, when he decides to cuff the ball and run, his steps are wide and can move the ball and gain those yards faster. He has ONLY 1 year, and if he get hurt, then will see your favorite QB JR will then comes in. I am ALL for GB to be our QB1. Let’s GO COUGS!!🤙🤙
The best option now and in the future is the QB that wins games; ie the QB that doesn't throw pick 6's.
I thought CFB 25 already settled this?!?! Lol
BYU fan here, I feel a Natty coming on here!
This!! If they can't win at a higher level, then what difference does it make?
Yessir
Frankly? ARod doesn't seem to have a clue how to use Tight Ends... don't preach Rex to me. Rex was completely under implemented in BYU's schemes. Holker bolted once it dawned on him that ARod didn't use Tight Ends except as an afterthought. When BYU got absolutely Blitzed in Las Vegas by Notre Dame use of their Tight End? And then to see Holker turn into a massive force at Colorado State? Hope ARod sees the potential with this kid and Keanu Hill...
Well, after this year, ARod won't be able to blame it on his Tight Ends coach, so we shall see.
Amen!
Winning is the only thing that matters for the “future” of the program. If it’s GBo at QB1(definitely is) and he helps us win then that’s the end of the conversation. If guys want to leave that’s fine. It’s the new word of CFB. Winning will bring QB transfer interest and and there will always be guys in waiting at BYU. If Jake is the guy that’s cool too but my money is on GBo
