BYU is on Target for its 3rd MWC title; Rise and Shout

Our defense is probably approaching this game with some mixed feelings. On one hand, BYU has won nine games this season and extended their home winning streak to 18 games. On the other hand, BYU has shown considerable weaknesses in five of those nine wins.

BYU fans are left to question what team will show up in Colorado Springs on Saturday? Will the team that pummeled UCLA and Wyoming show up? Or will the team from the TCU and Washington—both road games—show up?

Each day, I am astounded at what the coaching staff has accomplished with this years team after two dominate Mountain West Conference championships.

It isn’t easy to win back-to-back championships. Let alone be in a championship position in the third year with an inexperienced, young defense—that honestly has been over achieving.

Ten and 11 win seasons are hard to come by, and this year could be BYU’s third straight! Cougar fans have cause to be thankful. It could be worse, you could live in, or cheer for, Tennessee, Arizona, Miami, anywhere in the ACC or Big East or Washington/Washington St.—oh baby that would suck.

I don’t know where this post came from because I wanted to write about this week's practice schedule and how it differs from a normal week.

Yet, as I think about how the BYU football program has improved, I can only look forward to this years bowl game and what needs to transpire during the summer in order to improve upon the past three years of success.

TCU and Utah will have hosts of player returning next year and the conference is shaping up to improve upon this years non-conference successes. BYU will have its work cut out for them in order to four-peat and become that BCS buster I think they should be.

Go Cougars.
