Assuming BYU Football becomes bowl eligible, the 2018 season is only 38% complete but the Cougars have already won 75% of the games they won in last year.
That alone is cause for celebration, especially after playing four Power 5 opponents, two of which started the season in the Top 10. Given the lingering PTSD-like effects of 2017 and the front-loaded 2018 schedule, BYU’s players, coaches, and fans should be proud of a three-win September.
But not too proud.
This Friday, BYU takes on the Utah State Aggies at LaVell Edwards Stadium. The Ags have had two weeks to prepare for the Cougars, while BYU is still recovering from the veritable butt-whooping it endured in Seattle last week.
