Also received this email from an Arizona subscriber and friend that I am passing on in case there is any interest from other subscribers. If so, his contact info is included below. Hi HB I got too many tickets for the game. I have six. Section 20 row 27 seats 10-15. How can I sell them to BYU FANS. thanks. Glad you are back. <mailto:gary@wellsysusa.com> gary(a)wellsysusa.com

HB Arnett's "Lite" <mailto:hbarnett@fiber.net> hbarnett(a)fiber.net 801 372 0819 Vol. 38, Issue 3 - A, August 20, 2018 Football Is Not Rocket Science Put two football teams on a field and both could be coached by the top elite think tanks from the East Coast or by the top spy agencies and analysts of the CIA. It wouldn't make any difference. The team with the biggest, strongest and fastest players would beat the other team with the smallest, weakest and slowest players 98 out of 100 times they played. The other two times, the games would be played in a massive snow storm or hurricane. Are some football coaches brighter and smarter than others? Sure. But give the dumber coaches the bigger, stronger and faster players and they would win 96 out of 100 times they played. The two extra losses would because the officiating crew was related to the other team's coaching staff. Thinking is overrated in football. Just get better players and it will eventually all work out. That's been my opinion for decades and I'm sticking to it. That's why I find all this BYU fall camp quarterback intrigue and mystique humorous. After two weeks, if this BYU staff can't figure out where they are at quarterback. they might be dumb and dumber than we think.or BYU's offense might be in bigger trouble than we, the fans, think. It's neither. Neither Arizona or BYU are going to be surprised by what they see on the field in Tucson on September 1. Both coaching staffs already know what the other team has in way of talent and scheme. This isn't CIA stuff. This is football. It's a game where each team is hoping they have bigger, faster and stronger players and everything will work out. In my opinion, the secrecy involved in BYU's quarterback drama this fall isn't about Arizona and surprising them, it is about the same thing that Nick Saban is doing at Alabama. He is trying to keep his two best quarterbacks on the roster for multiple seasons, Tua Tagovailoa on the left and Jalen Hurts on the right. So are Kalani Sitake and Jeff Grimes. In case you haven't been keeping track, since <https://www.forbes.com/sites/tomlayberger/2018/05/23/jalen-hurts-would-be-t he-11th-quarterback-to-transfer-from-alabama-in-the-nick-saban-era/#213a1a62 6b98> Saban has been at Alabama, he has had 11 quarterbacks transfer. He is trying to keep what would be his 12th, in Jalen Hurts, from following suit. Again, my opinion only, but I think what Sitake and Grimes are doing this fall isn't about Arizona but trying to keep their best two quarterbacks on the roster for multiple seasons. BYU offensive coaches know that Zach Wilson, on the right, is good. He will more than likely start the Arizona game. Yes, he is that good. So is Jaren Hall, on the left. He is as talented as Wilson. He just didn't get all the spring reps and practice that Wilson did because he was finishing up his LDS (oops, my bad) The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints mission in California. There is a reason Hall is getting plenty of reps and is the 3rd qb in camp in front of Joe Critchlow. There is a reason that he will see the field this season. Yes, there is still a battle going on between Wilson and Tanner Mangum for early season playing time, but the bigger battle brewing is going to be between Wilson and Hall and it will start playing out seriously by the middle of this season. The new 4-game redshirt rule will be a huge part of this battle. The think tank and spy gate secrecy of this fall camp at quarterback, and again I emphasize this is only my opinion, is because offensive coaches want to signal to Hall that he is still in the quarterback picture now and especially during the coming years. If he doesn't feel that way, like Hurts at Alabama, he is too good to stay in Provo 4 years as a backup. So is Wilson. Again, my opinion, but one of these guys will be playing quarterback somewhere else in a couple of years. <https://twitter.com/i/status/1031735936852230145> This video from yesterday doesn't mean squat because it is practice without any pass rush and any live tackling. But look at the athleticism of Wilson #11 and Hall #1. It's a battle brewing. One more thing, the way the BYU coaches are handling the quarterback thing is really smart. It might be accidental or brilliant. Again, my opinion, but it is obvious to me that they know they have two freshmen quarterbacks in the program with big time talent. Forget a need for running backs necessitating the move of Beau Hoge to running back. The quarterback numbers needed thinning with the arrival of two big time guys. But regardless of whether Wilson or Hall transfer down the road, you are going to need somebody to back up your super star in case of injury. Maybe this staff is smarter than we think. Maybe Ed Lamb's comments in Cedar City about Joe Critchlow becoming an all time BYU great QB, was to ensure that there will be a backup to either Hall or Wilson down the road. Just some of my random thoughts. Let me emphasize these are my thoughts and mine only. And maybe, just maybe, there is a new BYU football think tank in Provo and they are smarter than we give them credit for. You are Done or Almost Done!

HB Arnett's "Lite" <mailto:hbarnett@fiber.net> hbarnett(a)fiber.net 801 372 0819 Vol. 38, Issue 3, August 20, 2018 Follow the Money There was plenty of speculation in the investigation of the Watergate break in a few decades ago that "Follow the Money" was said by "Deep Throat". Jack Ryan, the fictional spy/CIA analyst/tough guy character who will be seen later this month in a new series on Amazon Prime, also is quoted in the promo trailers that he "just follows the money". Thanks to some very good work by Mitch Harper, we too can follow the BYU football scholarship money. It's an interesting read and well done by Harper. <https://247sports.com/college/byu/ContentGallery/Every-Scholarship-Player-o n-the-2018-BYU-Football-Roster-120811587/#120811587_1> Follow the BYU Football Money Wouldn't we love to know what coaches say privately about the coaching peers? I would. That's why I suggest you <https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/candid-coaches-who-are-the- most-overrated-and-underrated-college-football-coaches/> Click here. Could Nick Saban Win at BYU? Which Came First? The Chicken or the Egg? Is it players or coaches that win football games? If you read the CBS article above about coaches rating other coaches anonymously, you saw this said about Nick Saban, the former coach at Michigan State, LSU and now Alabama. "If you had the No. 1 recruiting class in the country every year [you'd win like Nick Saban]. He shows up at every single game with a better roster than the teams he 's playing. . If you count cheating and getting the best players in the country as part of running a program, he's the best in the country. It's like saying an <https://www.cbssports.com/nfl> NFL coach is the best coach in the league if he gets 25 first-round picks every year." If you have read my letter for a few years, you know that I personally think having good players is better than having good coaches. I may be wrong. This BYU season will let me know if I am right or wrong when it comes to coaching vs players. I don't see any major improvement in the talent level at BYU with a few exceptions. The biggest exception may be Zach Wilson at quarterback, if he can play like he is being touted. I'm extremely interested in the comparison of offensive staff resumes between last year and this season. I'll be interested to see if it makes a difference. Here we go.

HB Arnett's "Lite" <mailto:hbarnett@fiber.net> hbarnett(a)fiber.net 801 372 0819 Vol. 38, Issue 2 - D, August 17, 2018 This Explains BYU's Current Starting Quarterback Situation How Many Bars? 7 or 8? Every BYU football fan has an opinion on who should be BYU's starting quarterback when the Cougars take the field against Arizona on September 1. Just check the papers, internet and chat rooms for proof. Here's the deal. I have my opinion and you have yours. Those who are allowed to watch scrimmages are certain they know who the guy should be. Based on the image above, however, sometimes we don't see things that others do. My eyes and your eyes don't matter. Here are the eyes that do and that will make the decision. Sitake Grimes Roderick That would be Kalani Sitake, Jeff Grimes and Aaron Roderick. They know what they see and based on their salaries, should be able to tell who the quarterback is that gives BYU the best chance to win games. Team: They have no say, but what they see and think does matter. The word I get is that the team will be told who the starter will be on Monday, but coaches won't announce anything to the public. Good luck with that. If players know, players' parents know and then the internet knows and soon the whole world knows. The last scrimmage coming this week will have the starter, Mangum or Wilson take at least 75% of the reps. I still have my opinion and I base it on these eyes. Rich Rodriquez Brandon Dawkins Khalil Tate Brandon Dawkins started at the season at QB last season for Arizona. Against Colorado in the 4th game of the year, he tweaked his ankle and Khalil Tate came on in relief. He never left the field again. So, what did Rodriquez and the rest of his offensive staff see in Dawkins that they couldn't see in Tate until injury forced them to use him and the rest is offensive history? Obviously, they made the wrong choice coming out of fall camp. But why? Here's my take on what might have happened and what I think will happen with BYU at the start of the season. It has to do with these eyes. All eyes should be on these seven BYU offensive linemen: Jimenez, Chambers, Christensen, Hoge, Empey, Herring and Shoaf against Arizona. It's their job to protect these eyes: Mangum Wilson All of which is why these eyes: (Mine) Says BYU offensive coaches are going to start Mangum to see if the BYU offensive line can protect him. This line is touted as being improved, even by me, but there is no way that they are going to put Wilson on the field until it is proven that the offensive line can protect him and give him a productive running game. That's why my pick is Mangum. He has been beaten up before and can deal with it. Nobody knows how Wilson, even though he is more talented and athletic, will deal with college pressure up front. Until BYU proves they can protect Wilson, he won't be thrown to the wolves. If BYU's offensive line lives up to their preseason hype, then it will be even money that Wilson plays and plays often. Until then, I call it a lock that Mangum will start against Arizona. You are Done or Almost Done!
