Conner Madison Not to be a negative nancy but the thing you said was the same thing people were saying in 2010 with Jake Heaps and his freshman class and look how that turned out. That being said, I am hoping things will be different this time around.
Hawaii (6-1 going into the BYU game) is a much better team this year than UTEP (6-6 going into the bowl game) was that year. In addition, Heaps had Cody Hoffman that year (who caught 3 of Heaps 4 touchdowns and 137 yards out of heaps 264 yards passing), who spent some time in the NFL and is currently in the CFL. Wilson had...?? I give you an A for "effort", but sorry, these two situations are not comparable. Wilson's performance in the Hawaii game was much more impressive than Heap's performance in the New Mexico Bowl.
McDonald gets rid of the ball quickly, but to whom, that’s the issue.isnt he supposed to be mobile? It was nice of the broadcaster to go back 30 years to show a Hawaii over BYU highlight.
That’s Hawaii defense was horrible I’m not so sure mangum couldn’t have done this.. and I really think mangum would’ve beat NIU.. fans put to high of expectations on their players after mediocre performances against very bad teams and then when they stink it up against a good defense the next week they are let down and try to make excuses like coaching and play calling was bad.. when Wilson was just very pedestrian against NIU a team mangum would’ve beat.. this could be good or bad for the freshman I hope BYU didn’t make the mistake of starting him to early and having his confidence killed after getting beat a a mediocre MAC team.. kinda like Travis Wilson another elite 11 QB at Utah after starting as a freshman and getting his butt whooped really killed a lot of that kids confidence..
