BYU is due. Look at history. Do the math. Something special will happen this year. Why? Well, something special happens to the Cougar football program every 12 years. At least, that's the pattern going back four decades.
1972: BYU hires LaVell Edwards as head coach. Edwards goes on to earn a 258-101-3 overall record, a .722 winning in percentage in his nearly 30-year career.
1984: BYU goes 13-0 to claim its first and only national championship.
1996: BYU goes 14-1, sets a Division I-A record for wins in a season and beats Kansas State in the Cotton Bowl, the program's first and only New Year's Day bowl game.
2008: ???
Don't be surprised if BYU fills in those question marks with something like: BYU goes 13-0, beating Texas in the Fiesta Bowl.
I'll tell you one thing, I can't wait for 2020.

I sure hope the 12-year rule doesn't prevent us from having success four years in a row! I want another row of question marks filled in with: 2009 Byu goes 13-0, defeats Utah by 3 touchdowns and beats USC in the national championship game in Pasadena.
