Yeah, the idea that we beat BYU is very 2007. 

I would be happy if we kept it within a few TDs, considering the season openers we've had the past several years since Wisconsin.

Yeah bro but I can't let it go. Thinking the Bulls are going 12 and 0 every year at this time of year is an annual tradition at this point in my life. Let me savor my irrationality for another 4 days and rationalize all the ways I think the Bulls could win.

Mangham mentioned on the fowler avenue interview with Grothe that this fall camp was a lot more serious than last years.

Reminds me of a story I heard in one of the practices where Gerry chewed guys out for going through the motions and how that wasn't going to cut it, then the rest of practice got super intense. Not to nock Timmy, but he wasn't a vocal leader and having a successful veteran that can call guys out like that is huge.

70% of the money right now is on USF to cover the spread

Maybe someone should point out to those knuckle heads that, behind that same OL, a true freshman, starting only his second game ever, completed 71% of his overall passes against them last year ....

This describes the "it" factor or pocket presence which I did see when watching tape of various games.  He seems to know when to run, where to run, and leans into it to get there.  Also can quickly get rid of the ball when feeling pressure.  We'll see how it looks in the Green and Gold.

So you're saying there's a chance...  that we cover the spread.

These are the kinds of things I love to hear.  It could pay off in dividends once things get rolling.

BYU if they have both receivers is probably one of the better offenses we face this year. 

They are most suspect at defense so offense can't get into a hole like last year...gotta score early in this one and keep up as BYU is going to score even if we have an improved defense.

So ready to get this game started...weeks dragging.
