After losing to Utah, it will be very difficult for BYU to get a BCS Bowl bid, according to Deep Shades of Blue.

Backup quarterback, Taysom Hill could get some valuable in-game experience throughout the season, making him a better player in the future, according to the article. Splitting reps with Riley Nelson could help BYU when it faces a difficult schedule in 2013. Next season, the Cougars will play Boise State, Texas, Georgia Tech, Wisconsin, Notre Dame and others.

After the 2012 season, BYU will lose key linebackers and defensive lineman, according to the article. Hill, the former player of the year for the state of Idaho, is the most talented quarterback on BYU's roster, according to the article. With a tough schedule and key losses on defense, having a quarterback with some experience could be key.

And Boise
And notre dame
And Georgia tech
And Utah state
And Oregon state

The only time "byu" and "bcs" should be in the same article should be something like "again all bcs conferences decline to invite byu" or "byu fans are at home watching the utes play in yet another bcs game"

Now that your season is over, why don't you guys support the flagship program of the state as we fight Oregon and USC for a rise bowl berth?
