You might want to check the facts about half of BYU's team being 26 years old. Its not true. Also having lots of your players completely leave the game of football for 2 years is not an advantage at all. Its a big headache for the coaches with scholarships and not even knowing who will be available as players are prone to change their minds about if and when they go one a mission.

Sorry to be a little gruff on your board but, often before a game the opposition coach will say his 17-18 year olds are playing a team of 25 year olds. (like they don't have ANY soph, jr or sr players.) Often players don't even return to football after a mission.

Stop messing with our narrative. We're on a roll.

Great to have you visiting. You'll be welcomed at this board.

Thanks for the welcome. Looking forward to a good game this week. I've never been to a game in Provo but, good luck to yall. I hope any Rocket fans that attend enjoy their trip. I was at WVU last week and am excited for our game at the Glass Bowl in 2019.

I do apologize if you took offense to my statements. While I rarely allow facts to get in the way of my reasoning, I am very much aware of the mission work and so on and so forth. It was a little tongue in cheek. I always enjoyed watching Lavell Edwards coached teams, when I was younger. BYU has always been a respectable program, and I hope they lose by a lot on Friday.
