from the article...

That the Cougars have arrived in such a lofty position just four years after Mendenhall's arrival is testament to the job the BYU alum has done.

Perhaps we should make that "honorary alum".

No, like BYUtx pointed out, there were far too many errors. I'm actually surprised this writer was hyping the team as much as he was considering how many mistakes he made and seeings how he was leaving out some of the best stuff validating a strong run in 2008. But nevertheless, the more attention BYU receives, the more it will validate their ranking and title contention when they keep winning since it was predicted or at least discussed prior to the season as oppossed to coming out of nowhere.

Brandon Doman on Max Hall

"He is the best we have had in four years and that is not a knock on John Beck," quarterbacks coach Brandon Doman told the Salt Lake Tribune."

So four years ago, I think that was Matt Berry and a freshman John Beck. Is Doman saying that Hall is the best we've had since Berry? Sounds like another error, along with Bronco being an alumnus and Willing coming from Vandy...or am I missing something?

huh? When I read it, I took it more like what he said. In the last four years, Hall's looked the best during the spring of any QBs. INCLUDING John Beck as a senior

better read than most takes. Look for one even better in the NY times in August!

I think the period of time Coach Doman was referring to is the length of his tenure as QB coach when he made the comment.
