Monson: BYU whiffs in last real chance to add meaning to its season

Rest of Cougs’ season will prove nothing.

"This stings, it’s tough," senior captain Brandon Ogletree said. "It hurts to lose."

Especially when you could have won, but didn’t.

"You’re only as good as your record," the linebacker added. "But I don’t feel like we’re a 4-4 team."

But that’s the problem. They are a 4-4 team, with only one substantial win against a decent opponent. The rest of their success this season is Cheez Whiz, and the rest of their schedule is filled out with teams — Georgia Tech, Idaho, San Jose State and New Mexico State — that, even if the Cougars win, it won’t prove much to them, or to anybody else.
