Time to get back at it
We've missed the last little bit here. It's good to be back. Hopefully the Cougars can come back strong after their recent bye week. Our goal here at BYUreview is to get up a quick preview for the game and a quick review of the game. Nothing too fancy...we will be better here.
BYU vs Airforce Postgame Thoughts
Well, that was a blowout...sort of... The score sure looks like BYU did whatever they wanted to Air Force. Don't get me wrong, the Cougars sure look in control of the game from beginning to end, but it sure didn't have the feeling of a blowout game. BYU really only had one or two BIG plays, other than that they were just methodical and did what they needed to do to win the game. Luckily the Falcons don't have really fast receivers like Tulsa does. In the second half Air Force tried and completed a couple of deep plays. Mark my words: Other teams, especially New Mexico and Wyoming, will give the Cougar defense a run for their money with the deep ball.
My only real complaints from this game are: 1- Still too many penalties! Not as bad as other weeks, but come on guys! and 2- Every game this season Max Hall has been hit from behind for a fumble...someone has to do something about that. Either Hall has to learn to give up the rock faster, step up more into the pocket, or something...Anything! We can't afford to lose the ball every game due to our QB getting creamed from behind. Hey, at least in a month against Eastern Washington we should be safe (I hope).
Good game boys. Good win. Do what needs to be done...lets see fewer penalties against the Lobos this next week.
A Clip From Air Force
This is a quick clip from BYU's upcoming opponent Air Force. Hopefully the Cougars defend them better than they did Tulsa...
What Do Fans Think About Boise State in the Mountain West Conference?
Yesterday, the Salt Lake Tribune reported that Boise State is interested in moving from the WAC to the Mountain West. How do MWC fans feel about that?
Personally I think that it would be great. BSU is fairly respected right now, especially with their Fiesta Bowl last season.
I do think that BSU may regret the national exposure of ESPN, but if they want to come to the MWC I would be more than happy to have them! That would make the conference bigger in the nation's eyes. BYU, Utah, TCU, and BSU are all schools that are at least looked at for rankings at the beginning of the season.

BYU takes on Air Force and a Look at the Top 25
Once again we take a peak at the latest Top 25 Polls. I think that most notable change this week is that the Bruins all but disappeared off the charts...well, okay, they are receiving a few votes. Utah sure didn't help BYU by waxing the bleacher seats with the Bruins' hides. Yep, now the Cougars are 1-2 and it doesn't look pretty.
Don't worry fans it doesn't get any easier with the Falcons coming to town this week. Air Force is playing well so far this year. They are 3-0 coming into Lavell Edwards Stadium. Most notably, they are 2-0 in conference play already. And yes, they are the only Mountain West Conference team receiving votes in this week's polls...BYU and TCU have had a rough couple of weeks.
Really, if you have watched any of the games that have the Top 25 teams in them you can see that teams like USC, LSU, Oklahoma, and Florida are hands down better than teams in the MWC right now...hopefully this can change someday (hey, it doesn't hurt to hope).
Overall BYU has looked like they can compete with just about anyone out there, but can they figure out how to pull off the win? It boils down to one thing (or 14):Too many mistakes! No more fumbles! No more interceptions! And most of all, NO MORE PERSONAL FOUL PENALTIES! These guys need to get their heads together and play. They look spectacular at times and then thirty seconds later they find themselves backed up 20 yards on penalties. Hopefully they perform better this week against the Falcons.
