These last two games have been disheartening in really pointed ways. The game against Air Force initially felt like it was going to be a good, entertaining game, with potent offenses putting up points at both ends.
But after the first quarter, it's difficult to describe the pall that rested on the collective shoulders of Cougar Nation...
Against Florida State, when the decision appeared to have been made to make Jake Heaps the quarterback with some consistency, and he led two scoring drives to finish the second quarter, and the game was so close, it felt like we were witnessing a good ol' fashioned BYU comeback game. The momentum belonged to the Cougars coming into half number two, and we all watched with anticipation as the second half began, only to see the Cougars go three and out.
And we watched Heaps get sacked. Over. And over. And over again.
Part of me wants to believe that this is similar to what happened at the beginning of the 2007 season, when Max Hall was beginning his tenure as BYU's quarterback, and he got sacked a number of times against UCLA. That season didn't turn out so bad.
But this time it feels different.
Things feel disjointed, and there's a sense of anxiety around the program.
This coming Saturday will say a lot about this football team. Nevada's got such a prolific offense.
I'm just hoping for something exciting.
I'll be watching it from section 126, and screaming as loud as I can.
Through thick and thin, boys. That's me. I'll stick with you through thick and thin.
