BYU Notes, 1/6/2011

This has been a great week for Cougar fans.

Winning at UNLV
This is huge.  It is impossible to describe.  I found myself listening intently to every last moment of the KSL post-game show.  I kept waiting for the final score to change.  It was almost surreal.  I could not believe it.  This was their first true road win against a true top-30 RPI team.

Returning Starter
Left Tackle Matt Reynolds decided to return for his senior season.  The OL was going to be a strength for BYU in 2011, with a lot of experience and size returning, whether Reynolds returned or not.  This just adds to the quality of the already strong Offensive Line.

Bad Week for Utah is a Good Week for BYU
Two days after pleading with their fans to not give up on them, Utah basketball went out and lost to the Air Force Falcons.  I know they are a better team this year, but they have still only won one conference game the last two years combined.

James Rodgers Returns
Oregon State WR/PR/KR James Rodgers has been granted another year of eligibility by the NCAA.  This is bad for BYU because it will give them one more playmaker to watch out for in October.  But this could also be good for BYU because he instantly makes Oregon State a better team, so if BYU wins the game then they will have won against a better opponent.  It also makes BYU less likely to win...
