Not the QB, not the coaching, certainly not the defense (right?)? That doesn't leave you with many areas to identify for BYU's success. Note that during Hall's time at QB, BYU also beat Utah 2-1. BYU placed higher in conference than Utah twice in three years. BYU finished higher in the polls than Utah twice (and in the top 25 all three years). Say what you want, but BYU is performing better as a team than arguably during any 5 year span in BYU history. Too bad you won't recognize it until long after it has passed. Then you will blast future BYU teams for failing to match what these teams did while claiming it can't ever be done again.

Failure to reach BCS nirvana is what BYU is judged upon now and hereafter.
If BYU makes the BCS, it has a successful season in years we have a seasoned, experienced QB.
In years when we're breaking in a new one, a second or third place finish with ten wins is acceptable.
But Utah tasting the fruits of the land of milk and honey twice, and the Frogs being kissed by the princess once is simply too much to bear.
