This has been a golden fall for BYU football after several disappointing seasons. The Cougars are steamrolling their opponents. They are 9-0 and ranked No. 8 in the national polls. Their quarterback is a Heisman candidate. The Cougars are relevant again.
Everything is falling their way (well, except for the nonsensical College Football Playoff ratings). Even their NFL players — and there are a few of them — are shining.
The Cougars have taken their lumps in recent years for their poor showing in the NFL draft, which reflects the hard times they’ve had on the field.
