Sunday Thoughts: The Pulverizing of Provo- BYU Thoughts

[cyclone1209]

As has been discussed already, most will point to 2020 as Campbell's best year coaching. This one to me has to be tied for first. New offensive coach staff, 5 starters lost in freaking August, and a new QB. Just an incredible job and I'm so happy he is our coach.

Offense

• It is not hyperbolic to say that some of Abu Sama's runs were Breece like. He's a unique RB, the type KState has had for 20 years. Not overly huge at 200 lbs, but he can make multiple guys miss and has jets to outrun corners. Only a freshman, so excited for him. Really him and Sanders were awesome and will be a great combo. I feel for Carson Hansen b/c he only gets carries when the other team knows it's a run. He looks good as well.
• Becht: He is likely going to end up beating Brock's freshman TD record. I never, ever, could have imagined he would be this good. He has the potential to be all Big 12 really starting next year. So accurate, and when he is rolling in the RPO scheme, defenses cannot cover that.
• Noel's best game as a cyclone. We are starting to see his full potential. I think he's honestly just thinking less out there and trusting his skills more.
• OL shoutout: James Neal, Miller, and Black opened up some massive gaps for the running scheme. I was actually happy to see Treiber and Simmons get some run at the end too, they also looked good.

Defense

• Jamison Patton flashed in his first outing. 5 tackles, 4 of which solo, and an interception. Yes he had a play where he struggled in pass game early, but he clearly has speed and talent. I do think it will be huge to have Cooper back this next Saturday, but this was good to see for me.
• Bacon had a strong game at OLB/DE, and Gerry Vaughn was great against the run. Will McLaughlin had a nice pick early, the LB crew has really gotten better since the non conference schedule.
• I can see why the staff likes Drew Surges, he moves well and almost had a nice pick at the end

Recruiting - I think anyone who had questions about our recruiting should watch the tape last night in it's entirety. We absolutely blasted that team folks. We had better talent across both lines, better depth, and they simply did not have many (if any) skill guys that would start at ISU. That's the byproduct of 3 years of damn good recruiting.

Man is this team going to be good next year. I am so excited to be bowl eligible too. Hope they get one in DFW area or Phoenix.
