BYU Got Its Answer

After watching another rough loss for BYU, I think it became apparent to everyone watching that having two QBs is not effective. It is hard for the team to get in sync and difficult for the receivers to adjust to the different arm actions of the QBs-- not to mention it is extremely annoying for the fans.

In my amateur opinion, you have to play St. Jake. He is the future of the program and it is necessary to develop the Freshman now. He fits the program better, throws the ball better, and is an overall better QB. I think Nelson is a great QB, but he just does not fit BYU's scheme. After seeing Heaps play the whole second half, delivering some nice balls, and making some impressive drives against a fast FSU defense, I think it is safe to assume that he will be the starter for BYU. Hopefully now that the QB situation is figured out, the team will begin to gel and will still pull of a decent season. 1-3 is not the way anyone wanted to start out, but at least there have been some encouraging improvements.

On a side note, BYU's receivers have to start making some plays; once again there were way too many dropped balls. The defense looked a little better, but they have to stop allowing the big plays. All in all, a loss is a loss, but there were some definite improvements this week.

  1. And things don't get any easier this week with UNR coming up. Trust me, as a UNLV fan, I have seen UNR's pistol offense every year and know how dangerous it can be. Good luck, but my prediction is 1-3.
