Kragthorpe: Can Ty Detmer's BYU offense click, right from the start?

In 2011, when Brandon Doman succeeded Anae, sophomore QB Jake Heaps and the Cougars posted 316 yards and seven offensive points in a 14-13 win at Ole Miss.

And when Anae returned two years later with his fast-tempo approach, Hill's offense was held to 363 yards in a 19-16 loss at Virginia. Those initial efforts of Anae (twice) and Doman as coordinators resulted in averages of 338.6 yards and a total of three offensive touchdowns.

The Cougars responded with 40 points the next week vs. Texas in 2013, but then scored only 13 against Utah. So with a 2016 schedule of Pac-12 members Arizona, Utah and UCLA in the first three games, the Cougars will be tested.
