How can BYU move to the next level? It seems like BYU has become a staple in the top 25 with wins over the bulk of their schedule, but how do they make the transition from good in a reasonably good conference to superior in the conference and even more noticeable on a national level?
It is a tough transition that BYU, Utah, and TCU are all in pursuit of obtaining. Utah has performed well in a couple of seasons but hasn’t shown the consistency to be recognized at the national level year in and year out. BYU and TCU have had a consecutive great years -and all three have been consistent- but how are they going to transition?
BYU has been trying to focus on the character of players and relying on their desire to play extremely hard -while possible lacking in a few of the physical attributes. I should know….I was one of those players that played hard and lacked a few physical attributes.
TCU has the physical attributes a solid coaching staff and a huge recruiting pool. What’s been holding them back? I think it’s the fact that they normally have a let down game or two during their season. This zaps their players desire and they end up with a solid -but not stellar season.
Utah has larger fluctuations, but has hit the “jack-pot” more often compared to the rest of the conference. Have the capitalized on weaker conference years -that’s not for me to say. But they have had some very talented teams and there is no doubt that they have benefited from the recruiting that comes from playing in BCS games.
So who is going to be the team that makes the jump to the big time, on a more consistent bases? (By consistent I mean the Boise State or USC of the Mountain West Conference)
