BYU football: Three things we learned from the Boise State game

Another week, another loss for BYU football.

Things have gone from bad to worse, with the Cougars dropping five-straight games for the first time since 1970.

The offense still stalls, the defense still can’t get off the field on third downs and fans are still at a loss. Waiting for basketball season to roll around.

At this point, it’s safe to say that everyone totally misjudged BYU football – myself included. It seemed like things were lining up… Tanner Mangum seemed like the perfect pro-style quarterback. The Cougars brought in talented defensive line recruits. Fred Warner, Sione Takitaki and Francis Bernard were supposed to wreak havoc.
