| It's pretty much what I expected. BYU had a hole to fill in its schedule, and after talking to Bronco Mendenhall between the end of the season and the bowl game, it became apparent the Cougars wanted to schedule down. Two Pac 10 teams (albeit two mediocre Pac 10 teams) on the slate already in Washington and UCLA and a road game at Utah State meant BYU needed a home game. No team of substance wants to open their season in Provo, so BYU's choices were limited unless it wanted to give up a home game in 2008. No way that was going to happen, so Northern Iowa was as logical a choice as any. BYU should be pretty good in 2008. In 2009, BYU has games with Arizona State and Florida State, and wins there would really put the Cougars on the national map. They should be good enough to do it in 2009. Mendenhall is right in adjusting BYU's schedule. Getting beat up by big BCS schools really serves no purpose unless you win. Right now, the Cougars are on schedule for a big 2008 and maybe an even bigger 2009, which leads right into the time when the BCS contract expires. Who knows what system will follow? | ||
