2006 OFFENSE

BEST PLAYER: QB John Beck

TOP NEWCOMER: OG Ray Feinga

STRENGTH: Coming off first team All-MWC honors, QB John Beck may be poised for his best season yet after totaling 7,136 career yards and 47 TDs, he is writing the BYU record books and has the most starts of any BYU QB in history; In a pass-oriented system, RB Curtis Brown still has what it takes when compared to some of the better backs across the nation, he averaged 5.3 yards per carry last year which placed in on the All-MWC list; The strength of the pass catchers is at TE with Harline and Coates, no two better TEs exist anywhere.

CONCERN: Lack of a speed burner/deep threat at WR; depth is crucial on the OL as transfers and freshmen attempt to give the coaches some other options.

2006 DEFENSE

BEST PLAYER: LB Cameron Jensen

TOP NEWCOMER: DE Kyle Leukenga

STRENGTH: Nine LBs are available to contribute including the star of the defense Cameron Jenson, who was voted the team's defensive MVP of a year ago; Both CBs have starting experience.

CONCERN: Replacing the entire three-man starting rotation of the DL is of major concern, experience is at a bare minimum; The nation's 104th nationally ranked pass defense of '05 has some questions to answer, the safety position has no one of significance to answer the call.

2006 SPECIAL TEAMS

KICKER
Senior Jared McLaughlin has become the man after waiting for three seasons behind Matt Payne. He was perfect from inside 39 yards and if his leg strength can improve, he could be one of the league’s best.

PUNTER
Washington transfer Derek McLaughlin, no relation to the kicker, is back after averaging over 40 yards last season. He landed only 13 of 48 punts inside the 20.
