HB Arnett's 801 372 - 0819 hbarnett(a)fiber.net 1391 West 800 South - Orem, Utah 84058 Vol. 35, Issue 2 -August 4, 2014 Click <http://cougarclicks.com/product/Order-Cougar-Sportsline?ID=3173> Here To Order Or Renew Your Subscriptions We're way beyond regular receivers now. BYU's OFFENSE A "CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER" In the movie, Clear and Present Danger, Jack Ryan (Harrison Ford) asks one his subordinates, Petey (Greg Germann) to break into a colleagues' computer to expose some government hanky panky. Petey responds to the request by saying, "Well, I mean it's possible. I guess it would help if you told me whose system you wanted me to break into." Ryan leans closer and, without saying the word, mouths out "Ritter." Petey's eyes go wide for a moment. Ryan nods and Petey says, "Well.we're way beyond using birthdays for passwords now. I'm gonna have to write a special program here." After just two days of practice, like the movie character Petey, my eyes have gone wide. Here's the deal. If you have been around watching BYU football for almost three decades, you know that BYU made a living passing the ball. They did it with good quarterbacks and in most cases, ordinary possession type receivers. These were guys who could be counted on but were definitely not game breakers or changers. If you are having trouble visualizing what I'm talking about think Cutler, Drage, Boyce and Falsev among many others of the same type. Way Beyond. Well, ladies and gentlemen, BYU is now way beyond possession type receivers this season. Robert Anae and Guy Holliday, the Cougar receiver coach, have written an entirely new program for the passing game this year. It is written in codes that BYU's offense hasn't had in years: Speed and Game Breaking ability. If you want a flashback to what this looks like at BYU, go back in time to 2004. That was the year that Austin Collie was a true freshman and Todd Watkins was a juco transfer and John Beck was throwing them the ball. Brace yourself; BYU has a new Austin Collie/Todd Watkins duo. Jordan Leslie is the new Austin Collie and Nick Kurtz is the new Todd Watkins. Leslie is the transfer from UTEP that played for Guy Holliday for a couple of seasons in El Paso. He even wears the same number as Collie: #9. He is a playmaker and a go to guy. It has only been a couple of days in camp and he is consistently making plays. He is the real deal with real size at 6-3, 210 pounds. He is also the real deal as a person. I think I already passed this story on, but in case I didn't, here are a couple of interesting reads, especially because BYU won't allow interviews with new players in the program until after the first game of the season. Click <http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/draft2011/columns/story?page=Butler-110618> here and click <http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2011-06-25/sports/ct-spt-0626-bulls-jimm y-butler-chicag20110625_1_wal-mart-family-values-kids-love> here. Kurtz is almost a clone of Watkins. They both played at Grossmont JC in San Diego and both have size and speed to get downfield and run under balls. Kurtz is 6-6, 205 and like Watkins has a gait that is so smooth that you don't notice his blazing speed. All you see is that he is behind the defensive backs deep down the field. Quack-Quack Devon Blackmon is the new quack-quack receiver for the Cougars. If he looks like a Duck, runs like a Duck and makes plays like a Duck, it must be Blackmon. In case you forgot, Blackmon started his college career as a Duck at Oregon. He looks like the type of athlete that Oregon recruits and signs. It is only two days into fall camp, but he can flat out run and catch the football. BYU has also come up with a re-run receiver for this fall camp. That would be Trey Dye, the 5-9, 175 scat back/receiver from Texas. The freshman has the right gene pool. That's because his father is the former Cougar punt return great and occasional receiver James Dye. Again for those whose Cougar football history goes back more than a couple of seasons, you should remember what a game changer Dye was. Since I am already foaming at the mouth, I will go ahead and say it: After just a couple of days of practice, the younger Dye looks like he will be a better athlete than his dad. He is good enough that he will certainly see the field this season as a true freshman. Keanu Nelson, the transfer from Stanford, is also a serious upgrade for the BYU receiving crew, but he will likely get lost in the talent shuffle that is currently on the field. If you want to know what kind of athletes these new receivers are, it says something that all four, Leslie, Blackmon, Dye and Nelson are all getting work on special teams as punt returners. Is Hill's Arm Good Enough? Now comes the tricky part of the equation in fall camp. Does BYU have a quarterback that can consistently get these guys the ball? That's code for is Taysom Hill a good enough passer to take advantage of the new speed and athleticism these new receivers bring to the table? The early answer is yes. After two days, he consistently can throw the deep ball to open guys who are behind the defense. The real test, however, will be how he performs when they go live in scrimmage and game situations. How will he throw it when he is being pressured by a pass rush? Which also begs the question, will the offensive line be improved enough to even give Hill a chance to prove he can deliver the ball deep in real game situations? Those answers will take another few days and actual scrimmages to determine. Right now, the BYU passing game looks spectacular in simulated 7-on-7 drills. I will hold my breath until they can deliver under actual scrimmage and game conditions. If they can do it then, my breath will be of the short panting type because of extreme excitement. It's a little disconcerting that unlike the passing game where BYU trotted out new faces and bodies in an effort to make improvements offensively, the offensive line appears to have been only reshuffled and reworked, but the faces and bodies are basically still the same. Hard Sell to Buy Right now the offensive coaches are saying that one year of experience will make this offensive line much, much better. That's a hard sell for me to buy. Until I actually see major improvement in game situations, this still looks like the same product, but just repackaged. I hope I am wrong on this. If I'm not, then this offense may have occasional moments of success, but this will not be the offense that will cause fans to drool and opposing defenses to dread without a much, much improved offensive line. Again, only more time in fall camp will tell. Right now, it's eyes wide open for me. For Bronco, his eyes are also probably wide open because he knows his window for a big year is closing quickly. Let's be real. For BYU to come up with a total upgrade in wide receivers like it has, the stars had to align for a once in a millennium deal. Mendenhall also knows that if Taysom Hill lives up to some of the preseason hype, he very easily could declare for the NFL draft after this season. That is why this year is a put the pedal to the metal year for BYU football. If a big year doesn't happen this season, when BYU has golden goose players and a pedestrian pigeon schedule, it may never happen for the Cougars. Missing Utah I hate the fact that Utah is not on the football schedule this season. I have been waiting for a decade for BYU to finally have receivers that can wreak havoc with Utah's proven and productive defensive scheme against the Cougars. The scheme is simple. Bring the safeties down in the box and take away the run game and bring the corners up in press coverage on BYU's receivers. Their defensive game plans of the last decade wouldn't work this year. In case you didn't pay attention, that plan would put their corners on the line of scrimmage and then have them grab and hold on every play. After awhile, officials get tired of calling a penalty on every down and it's carte blanche for the Utah secondary. Even if a BYU receiver cleared the line of scrimmage and was in the open, the Utes didn't need safeties over the top because their corners always had enough closing speed to get back in good coverage before BYU could get off the pass. This year with the speed BYU has on the outside with abilities to out athlete Utah, it would have been a fun game to watch and see how the Utes would respond and game plan for a Cougar team with legitimate speed and game breaking abilities. Culling the Herd In the dairy business, they call it culling the herd. It football, it's called transfers and medical releases, but it accomplishes the same thing. It thins the herd and allows for new bodies and blood to be added to the program. We detailed the new bodies at BYU that are in camp now. Here is a list of bodies that have gone bye-bye from BYU since last season. Ammon Olsen, QB, SUU Billy Green, QB, Weber State Khalil Bell, RB, Idaho State Jon-Ryheem Peoples, DL, Idaho State Iona Pritchard, RB, Oregon State Baker Pritchard, DL, Oregon State Drew Reilly, DB, Medical Release Brett Thompson, WR/TE, Medical Release Kevan Bills, DL/LB, Medical Release Riding Herd When I was younger and immature, I used to quip with friends that you could tell the talent level on BYU's football team by the number of Honor Code violations that were happening. The more they happened, the better the talent. Now that I'm older, but still immature, those days are long gone. Now you can tell the talent level by the number of Violations of Team Rules that are occurring. The latest, but not the last, is Jamaal Williams. The junior running back has been suspended from the season opening game against Connecticut because of a team indiscretion. He likely won't be the only suspension for the opener. My guess is you can look for at least one or maybe two other starters being suspended for the UConn game. Williams self announced his suspension on the first day of fall camp. BYU and Bronco Mendenhall had hoped to not make any announcement until game time. With Williams' second violation of team rules within a couple of months, he joins other talented running backs at BYU that also had Honor Code violations and validated my theory of talent relative to frequency of violations. Other very talented BYU running backs that had run-ins with the Honor Code include, Ronney Jenkins, Rey Braithwaite and Harvey Unga. To balance the scale with talented backs without violations, how about Luke Staley, Curtis Brown for starters? Because of his charismatic candor, Williams' admissions are readily accepted by the BYU fan base. It will be interesting to see the reaction of fans and especially Bronco Mendenhall if there is a third violation of team rules. Speaking of Violations.Watch this pre-camp video of BYU players eating at Bronco Mendenhall's home and lip syncing their way to You Tube fame. I'm sure you can find plenty of violations of the basic rules of dance and song, but it is still very entertaining stuff. Click <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSd99StGcKM> here to watch. Trusting the Trenches As exciting as it is to talk about the new found offensive firepower on BYU's roster and the proven defensive schemes of Bronco Mendenhall, the bottom line is that the Cougars will only be as good as the guys in the trenches on both sides of the ball. On the offensive side of the ball here are the 10 players that will make or break this season: Ului Lapuaho, Edward Fusi, De'Ondre Wesley, Michael Yeck, Tuni Kanuch, Terrance Alletto, Kyle Johnson, Brock Stringham, Brayden Kearsley and Ryker Mathews Two that have their spots locked up are Fusi at center and Wesley at left tackle. Everything else will shake out during fall camp. Offensive line coach Garett Tujague say he wants 8-9 players that earn a spot on the plane and traveling squad. If they do that he says he will play them. We shall see how this all plays out in the next few weeks. One thing that is a given, is that if the offensive line isn't good, it can't be hidden. On the defensive side of the ball, the numbers aren't as plentiful, but they are proven. BYU returns Graham Rowley, Travis Tuiloma and Remington Peck up front. They will be backed up by Kesni Tausinga and Marques Johnson at nose and a bunch of current no names who hope to make their names recognizable this fall as back ups to Rowley and Peck. Here are those names: LoganTaele, Tomasi Laulile and Theodore King. If you are worried about a pass rush, all of the guys listed above are block eaters. The defensive scheme will feature the pass rush coming from the outside from Bronson Kaufusi and Alani Fua. Again, it's not glamorous or fun to watch, but if you get a chance check out these two fronts at the public scrimmage set for Friday, Aug. 15. Their play or lack of it will tell you all you need to know about this year's prospect for success or lack of it. NFL Names with BYU Backgrounds Here are the BYU alums that are still on NFL rosters as of last week. Ezekiel Ansah.Detroit Lions John Denney.Miami Dolphins Hebron Fangupo.Pittsburgh Steelers Cody Hoffman.Washington Redskins Eathyn Manumaleuna.New England Patriots Dennis Pitta.Baltimore Ravens Dallas Reynolds.New York Giants Vic So'oto.Pittsburgh Steelers Daniel Sorenson.Kansas City Chiefs Kyle Van Noy.Detroit Lions * Brett Keisel.He is a free agent and would get $1 million on the veteran pay scale.

HB Arnett's 801 372 - 0819 hbarnett(a)fiber.net 1391 West 800 South - Orem, Utah 84058 Vol. 35, Issue 1 -August 1, 2014 Click <http://cougarclicks.com/product/Order-Cougar-Sportsline?ID=3173> Here To Order Or Renew Your Subscriptions This issue starts my 35th year of weekly publication of the newsletter. Consider this issue a warm up. There will actually be something to talk about early next week with the next issue after BYU has actually practiced and done and demonstrated something to write about. Not exactly giddy about the grind, but like all politicians, still grateful there aren't any term limitations on what I do for a living. Ken Jennings Style BYU Football in Jeopardy Ken Jennings, the LDS game show contestant, won $3.1 million just by asking questions on Jeopardy. In my last real job, I made $6.50 an hour, but could eat all I wanted of the French fries that fell on the floor. No questions asked. There will be plenty of questions about this new season that starts today with BYU football opening its tenth fall camp under Bronco Mendenhall. Here we go. Taysom Hill.Name the one player on the roster that BYU and Bronco can't afford to lose to injury? Christian Stewart.What name do we not want to hear over the public address system in the game against Texas? 11.What was the sock size worn by Cody Hoffman that caused the scandal that wasn't and the Shakespearean remake of "Much Ado about Nothing? Jordan Leslie.Who will lead BYU in receiving yards this season? 2.How many season ending injuries this fall camp? 0.How many of those injuries will be to projected starters? Offensive Line.Where should most of BYU fan's hopes and prayers be focused this year? Edward Fusi.Who is the player that will go from the anonymity of last season to being the anchor of the offensive line this season? Central Florida.What game is BYU most likely to lose? Short Week, Cross Country Travel and Team Loaded with NFL Prospects.Why will BYU lose to UCF? Much Talked About, but Seldom Seen this season.How would you describe the impact of transfer Harvey Langi?

HB Arnett.Who's is either the dumbest or most delusional guy you know? Fallen French Fries.What is his favorite food? Football Fluff and Stuff Marital bliss makes for double digit winning seasons That's a reference to BYU starting quarterbacks. The last time BYU had married quarterbacks at the helm of their offense, they churned out 4 double digit win seasons. John Beck and Max Hall both were married and led the Cougars to an 11-2 season in 2006; 11-2 in 2007; 10-3 in 2008 and 11-2 in 2009. Since then, single BYU quarterbacks have only produced single digit winning seasons. In case you missed it, Taysom Hill was married in the off season. BYU history says that should be good for a very good year for Bronco Mendenhall and his Cougars. The W factor this season likely won't be Hill's new wife, but a bevy of new wide receivers, who will make Hill's passing game much better than it was last year. A proven runner, you can look for opposing defensive coordinators to try and take Hill and his rushing prowess out of production. That means that the Cougars should have a passing game that is very productive. We shall see. Speaking of seeing, in our last newsletter, we mentioned that BYU had two home and home series set with two schools from the big boys ranks. A couple of days after we said it would happen; BYU announced a home and home with UCLA. A few days ago Tom Holmoe and his crew announced a home and home with Northern Illinois. This is not the second home and home we were talking about. It will still be announced. In addition to BYU adding games with NIU, they also announced that Idaho State will be playing in Provo again next season on the 2015 schedule. That game will replace a game with Southern Miss which will now be moved to another year. BYU better hope they still have a married quarterback for next year. The 2015 lineup includes 3 of the first 4 games of the season on the road against Nebraska, UCLA and Michigan. The lone home game in that four game set is Boise State in Provo. The past couple of seasons, Bronco Mendenhall has suspended players from games for the violation of team rules. That included guys like Spencer Hadley and Cody Hoffman among others. There have been other times when he has suspended players from practices. I never understood that concept. Not having to practice sounds like a bonus, not an onus, but that is why they pay Bronco the big bucks. The suspension from practice is kind of like my annual self suspension from publishing the newsletter weekly during the summer months. The lessons I have learned while punishing myself by taking the summer off have been invaluable and invigorating. I've learned to take it like a man and suffer stoically. All of which brings us back to real suspensions. There have been rumblings that there will be some "team violation rules" suspensions coming up for the opener against Connecticut. If there are, it shouldn't have too big of an impact on the outcome of that contest. Speaking of Cody Hoffman, he is hanging on quite nicely in the preseason camp of the Washington Redskins. They signed the 6-4 receiver as a free agent. Hoffman still doesn't have NFL speed, but he is exhibiting at the Skins' camp what he did at BYU. He has great hands, can catch the ball and is willing to go over the middle and take a hit to pick up a crucial first down. The Redskins picked up DeSean Jackson from the Eagles in the offseason and also have Pierre Garcon and Santana Moss among others vying for the 5-6 receiver spots on the 53-man roster. Currently the Skins have 13 receivers in camp. My money is on Hoffman making the team, but he likely will start the year on the practice squad. , Is Collinsworth Causing Snickers (Not the candy bar)? This past week Kyle Collinsworth has made some noise in the news. After a full summer of silence, the 6-6 guard/forward/rebounder/defender said that he is ahead of schedule in his rehabilitation of his knee injury suffered during the WCC tournament in March. Collinsworth said he should be ready to go when BYU basketball practice begins in October. That is the good news for Cougar basketball fans. The potentially bad news is that Collinsworth also said that he could declare for the NBA draft at the conclusion of his upcoming junior year. That depends on two factors: His play during the season and his NBA evaluation. He would only come out early if he is told he would be a first round selection. If you have followed what I have said about Collinsworth since his freshman season, you know that I think he is a sure fire NBA prospect, with one major caveat. He can't shoot. That is where the Snickers come in. Many BYU basketball aficionados may have grinned when Collinsworth mentioned heading to the NBA. Those grins were because of the grimaces we all had and have when he is shooting at the foul line and beyond. But make no mistake. He is NBA material in every other aspect of his game. Even more good news is that Collinsworth has said that since he hasn't been able to jump and run for most of the summer, he has spent lots of time shooting foul shots. With Collinsworth's ability to get to the rim anytime he wants, he sees lots of time on the charity stripe. If he indeed can be more consistent from the line he hands down is headed to the NBA, not as a Snickers bar, but as "Pay Day" bar. Access by the Numbers BYU football fans will get a couple of chances to watch their Cougars practice during this fall camp. The first is tomorrow, Saturday, Aug. 2 when BYU's second day of practice will be open to the public. Gates at the practice fields open at 10:00 am with drills actually beginning at 10:40 and running to approximately noon. The team will also conduct a scrimmage open to the public on Friday night, Aug. 15, at LaVell Edwards Stadium. Gates open at 5 p.m. with the scrimmage getting underway at 6 p.m. If you want to put a name with a body, here is the most current fall camp roster available from BYU: A newer roster should be available next week which will include the new freshman and transfers that showed up at fall camp. We will publish that roster when it is officially available. Until then, this should get you started on your fall football fix. 1 Ross Apo 6-3 207 WR Senior Arlington, TX 1 Sam Lee 6-0 186 DB Junior Brandywine, MD 2 Dallin Leavitt 5-11 198 DB Sophomore
