I would like to see Mahina move to D end, Ive heard he has a mean streak at that position. I think at TE well be fine. BYU needs a DE with his demeaner, and toughness. At 6'6" he can knock down alot of balls, if he cant get to the QB. Again BYU has alot of weapons on O, QB being the only ? mark, and may end up a real suprise. Defence needs help! I do like So'oto and Putnam, I think Matt is about 6'6" or 5, Devin could really add to that spot. Thanks again for joining the team GO COUGS! and beat K state Rick Welcome, its great to be talking football again.

The weight of the 7 game losing streak in the NCAA's was a larger burden on the players and staff than they were willing to admit publicly. KSU is a very tough match up for BYU, but you are right, that is why they play the game. Who would have given Ohio any shot at beating the Hoyas? The Cougars can win this game, but they will have to play one of their very best games of the season. Steve,

Sure, they could easily lose. But their ranking hasn't been that different from KSU's. I'm sure Georgetown looked a lot better than Ohio on paper. Give BYU a little credit.

We had the huge OOC road win monkey on our backs, had pretty good control of the game partway through, and finally had to win a nailbiter. Coaches Rose and Mendenhall are awesome in their respective positions and doing a great job getting rid of monkey after monkey... This win reminded me of the 2008 football game at Washington.

Luckily, there is no 800 pound gorilla now. But, K State will be tough. You are right, Brett, that a loss to Florida would have been terrible. Luckily, there is no 800 pound gorilla now.

Hard to say who is the best blocker is at this point, we've only seen these guys in helmets and shorts thus far. I don't think Austin Holt will return from his mission in time to be a factor in 2010 . Bronco says that Chad Lewis is helping out the team but doesn't have any specific responsibilities, he is helping out the TE's and passing on some of his knowledge. Braden Brown is the player from Highland I believe you are referring too... he has been moved permanently to OL. Hi Jeff,

I love the fact that we are talking football again. Which TE would you says is the best blocker and which looks like they have the best hands? What is the status on Austin Holt? From what I've read it seems like Chad Lewis is hanging around spring ball and Pro Day, is he working with the TE's or just watching? Is the kid from Highland High going to stay with the offensive line? Brett-

I'm hoping we'll still get the occasional write-ups from Quinn and other former players though. That's one thing that makes this site unique is it is from the perspective of someone who has been there and done that. Glad to hear it.
