As players report to fall camp today, there is one question on everybody’s mind: Will BYU’s offense be better in 2024 than it was in 2023? Last year Aaron Roder
ick made headlines with the proclamation that BYU upgraded at every offensive position last season. While that proved to ultimately be almost comically false, perhaps it’s time to look at each position to determine how much better the offense can be this season.There's no where to go but up for the BYU quarterbacks. The prognosis is better mostly because it can’t get much worse. BYU’s total passing yards last season was the lowest by a BYU team in over 25 years.
With the right help, BYU can make a bowl game with any of the four quarterbacks listed. All four quarterbacks have shown enough arm talent for fans to feel optimistic that the position will be better, but injury history and consistency loom large over how far this group can take BYU in 2024.LJ Martin is poised for a breakout season. Martin has all the tools that made players like Tyler Allgeier and Chris Brooks stars in this offense and contributors in the NFL.
BYU’s projected first line is solid. Connor Pay is a proven commodity and Keim and Lapuaho all showed well after being thrust into their respective roles as starters last season. Leausa and Jatta are both new faces but have showcased enough talent for me to think that this group can be solid with the right coach in place. After that, though, there are concerns about depth. There is certainly talent in the room, but it is young and inexperienced.
BYU also has something else they didn’t have last season: continuity. Last year’s offense featured two new starting quarterbacks, four new starting offensive lineman, two new running backs, and three new wide receivers. This year’s projected starting lineup is virtually all players that were on the roster a year ago and have now had a full offseason to learn the playbook and build chemistry with one another.
