BYU football: Should the Cougars keep the pro-style offense?

BYU football plays with a unique athlete.

Students adhere to a strict regiment of behavior that attracts and repels certain individuals. This has and always will drive the offensive strategy of the program.

When Ty Detmer became the offensive coordinator of BYU football, he planned to implement a pro-style attack. It would contain and mirror characteristics of the offenses of Wisconsin, Stanford and Michigan.

This calls for an elite quarterback that can read defenses. It utilizes big, strong linemen that can pass and run block well. It needs a solid blocking back, a good feature back, and elite tight end(s).
