Let's start by giving recognition where commendation is due. The cougars had an amazing 2006 period of time. They done the period of time next to a 11-2 record, together with a 38-8 carnage of the Pac-10's Oregon Ducks. Furthermore, they went on a 9-0 unbeaten streak to end the season, the third longer in institute contact sport finishing time period. In retrospect, they could have and possibly should have absent unvanquished. Their one and only two financial loss were some late-game nail biters. In one, the cougars lost in OT to a resilient Boston College troop and in the other, they vanished because of a few unskilled parcel of land aspiration attempts. So, all in all we can reasonably say that the BYU football program did a nice job second twelvemonth.

The request for information now, though, is whether or not the Cougars can preserve that impulsion active into the 2007. Here's the skin and bones on the Cougars:

Much of their natural event during 2006 was due to a smattering of players who had astonishing seasons; videlicet John Beck, Curtis Brown, Johnny Harline and pretty noticeably of every one of the linebackers. John Beck compete so very well that it was not exceptional to comprehend his autograph in the identical word string as Troy Smith, Brady Quinn and Jamarcus Russell. The linebacking center had specified a grand season that the Cougar defence was the greatest it has been in years, even on the other hand their supplementary was amazingly questionable. Now though, all of those players is gone and BYU now essential struggle to find up to replacements.

So, the synopsis is this:

Offense - The Cougars are going to be pretty pale at quarterback, which has ever been a big relation of their glory in the former. None of the players vying for the task have any outstanding lame feel as Beck has been a consistent ended the medieval few time of life. Also, even then again their receivers are frequently beautiful solid, beside so frequent youngish players having to regenerate their older statesmen, the approaching period of time will be hit or miss for the receivers. The Cougars will be able to swirl to the subsidise parcel of land near any amount of confidence, though, as Fui Vakapuna, who tested his bravery final season, and Manase Tonga will donate several splendid running and obstruction.

Defense: Let's human face it Cougar fans. The defense this year may be a bit wonky. Up front, peak of the defensive chain are either freshmen or sophomores. That category of spring chicken does not augur very well. Behind them, however, the anecdote is a lot better. Kehl, Nixon and Poppinga are all regressive following a marvellous 2006 period. But losing your commissioned military officer Cameron Jensen will upset them. His direction and indomitable cognition in material form BYU second period of time. Still, though, I am not uptight astir the linebackers. What I am inattentive almost is the lower. It seems as nonetheless period in and twelvemonth out, BYU starts a spray of small, second-rate antitank backs. And this twelvemonth is no divergent. Even but maximum of the starting second-string is returning (Gooch, Gabriel, Criddle, Buchannan), I don't cognize how capably they will do when facing up intersecting from players next to great strenuosity. They may be able to clutches their own against many MWC opponents, but not all of them. So, excitedly the linebackers will be able to emergence to the disregard side by side yr as they may not have that some aid about them.

The critique of the players and positions preceding may colour a grim image for the upcoming season. However, within is several expectancy. Ever since Gary Crowton got the boot, Bronco Mendenhall has been motivated to even out the habit and arrogance to Cougar football. And if closing season's occurrence was any warning sign of his progress, I'd say he is doing a serious job. Also, Robert Anae showed that his instincts and dexterity are that of an abhorrent genius. Beck was able to spray can the ball around to so plentiful incompatible receivers and running backs that opposing defenses were simply unable to indemnity everyone. With Anae at the helm, various of BYU's unpleasant inadequacies due to juvenile and famine of education will be less of a factor.

To sum up, BYU is active to be new and green. But it has the coaching job train and content needful to propel the Cougars into yet different successful period of time. However, the coaches are not the ones on the parcel of land. So, if BYU is to last its leading distance this year, whatever new faces are active to have mould at full tilt to the sophisticated even of challenge that comes next to NCAA field game and come up big in the MWC this year.
