BYU football: Three things we learned from the Wisconsin game

BYU football doesn’t have enough (at least not yet)

Kalani Sitake took over a program in a good enough spot. Bronco Mendenhall and his staff piled up wins and, for the most part, kept things running smoothly.

So I know some turn their heads when I say BYU football doesn’t have enough talent yet. But the fact of the matter is that Mendenhall’s last couple of recruiting classes weren’t particularly strong – and they’ve caught up to the Cougars now.

Sitake is the first one to say it, too. He wants (and needs) more depth on both sides of the ball. Sure, injuries have taken their toll. But there’s not a ton of depth in Provo.

As fans, all we can do is continue to be supportive as Sitake and his staff work on adding more and more to the roster. That’s a time-consuming process at BYU, because LDS missions often throw a monkey wrench into recruiting classes.

The top three players of a recruiting class might not ever play two consecutive years together, between missions and redshirting. It’s tough, but Sitake is as good of a recruiter as anyone else.

So, sure, these last three games have been tough to watch, but don’t lose faith. If anything, it’s only showed that the Cougars aren’t a Top 25 team. That’s okay – because no one really expected them to be.

The players will come, the wins will come.
