ex-BYU QB Christian Stewart gives insight

[HuskerinBig10]

He says the O-line is struggling. Should be good news for Valentine, Collins, and McMullen. But it sounds like Nebraska's O-line.

Skill positions, BYU has plenty. Again, sounds like Nebraska.

Defense? Uh oh. Does not sound like Nebraska. Inexperienced. Nebraska has an experienced defense. The D-line and D backs are solid or better.
Red Zone Defense BYU = 70, Nebraska = 50

He doesn't mention the BYU Special Teams though.
Net Punting BYU = 10, Nebraska = 70
Punt Returns BYU = 67, Nebraska = 5
Kick Returns BYU = 90, Nebraska = 63
BYU 12-14 on FG, Nebraska 15-22 on fiield goals BYU kicker graduated

BYU was penalized a LOT. Almost last in that category. Nebraska was 54

BYU has the same coach and Taysom Hill is back.
Nebraska has a new coach and new philosophy. No key player was really gone unless you go with Michael Rose Ivey

The unknown factor is maturity level since a lot of their players did two year missions, a lot of Nebraska's players are not old enough to drink.

I like Nebraska's chances.

2 star team with 3 stars sprinkled in vs a 3 star team with heaping spoonfuls of 4 star kids.

I'm predicting a sloppy win at this point. Have to wait and see if the light turns on for the offense by fall.

BYU does arguably more with less than Oregon State did under Riley.

Riley vs BYU the last few years:

2009 MAACO LV BOWL: L 20-44
2011: L 28-38
2012 @BYU: W 42-24

You could say he's pretty familiar them.

If Bo was still here we'd lose this game like 52-31

With a month to prepare for the game, Bo would have the defenses heads spinning with so many different packages.

Idk what to make of the team at this point, not much different than in the past seasons other than who will be the starting QB and RB, which is normally just the one guy who plays both positions in our case. BYU could be a win, or loss, just as easy imo. At the very least they havent needed to start out camp by deciding what kind of football to practice with smh

any news on suspension for those BYU guys involved in that bowl game fiasco?

I think they said they are waiting as long as possible to announce who is suspended so we will have to prepare for everyone.
