One blessing in disguise is that Covid ruined out football schedule but in doing so, BYU is healthier. How can that be? BYU would have played

  • 09/03 – at Utah
  • 09/12 – Michigan State
  • 09/19 – at Arizona State
  • 09/26 – at Minnesota
  • 10/02 – Utah State
  • 10/10 – Missouri
    5 P5s with 3 on the road, would of been a lot more injuries. In past years, BYU’s starters were good enough but by midseason, BYU would be a worn out with key injuires and lose to some bottom dwellers.

Yes I agree! This season could be one for the ages IF they can 1) stay relatively healthy 2) Win against inferior teams 3) Get a little lucky with Covid cancelations on P5 schedules and get one or 2 Big games that we could pull an upset in. Total focus required by AD, coaches and players on the task at hand.
