BYU played like a G-5 team today against Toledo.

texcoug,

I agree that today BYU played like a G5 team. This tells me that we need to work harder to learn how to play consistently like a P5 team.

I think that the only time to date, that we played like a P5 team was vs. USC and maybe Tennessee. I agree that the games vs Utah, Washington and Toledo, we looked like one of the better teams in the top 25% that are G5 teams. We must to better consistently.
