LIC1^ 1111W 111LJ1C/ PROVO, Utah (AP) Ending a three-year run of losing seasons wasn't good enough for Brigham Young quarterback John Beck. Going 6-6 was an improvement, but it still wasn't a winning season. "Getting there was great, but our record was 6-6. We had two overtime losses and that really hurt us, and then the loss in the bowl game," Beck said. "We could have easily had nine wins last year." The Cougars are looking for more than just breaking even, especially with Beck and seven other1 starters back on an offense that regained its high-powered M. \^_J form last fall. More success is expected from second-year coach Bronco Mendenhall and offensive coordinator Robert, Anae. "We know what Coach Anae expects and we know what Coach Mendenhall expects," said tackle Jake Kuresa, one of three seniors on the offensive line. "So instead of trying to figure out what they want and then L11O.11 trying to do it, we already know what they want, so we started off doing it." - The chaos of a rookie coach running his first camp seems well in the past. The meticulous Mendenhall, who spent two years as defensive coordinator before taking over as coach, said he looks back at his journal from a year ago and sees he has progressed as much as his players. "The perspective is more on the long term rather than •*•**«*« • each day wondering what might be thrown at me," Mendenhall said. And the perspective at BYU is to win _ something that hasn't been happening like it used to. Conference championships used to come regularly at the school, but the Cougars haven't claimed a title since going unbeaten in the Mountain West in 2001, which was also the last time BYU finished with a winning record. If the Cougars do finish with a winning record, nobody can accuse them of • GREAT EXPECTATIONS see page 12 Utes free of unbeaten shadow I'm Fishing for a Date. Catch me online: lewdou@wfrmls.com SALT LAKE CITY (AP) The impossible expectations of following an unbeaten team are gone. Utah didn't accomplish anything close to the 2004 Fiesta Bowl champion Utes, but also kept 2005 from being a disaster. The Utes closed the year by winning four of five and raising the optimism entering this fall. "It took us about halfway through the season for that team to get its own identity," coach Kyle Whittingham said. While the 2004 team was known for being overwhelming, last year's Utes were merely resilient. After GREAT MEXICAN FOOD House of the Famous Fajitas, Seafood and Much, Much More.

The Utes would like to establish themselves much earlier this season. Brett Ratliff has regained the job he inherited late last season when Brian Johnson tore a ligament in his left knee. If Ratliff still has the winning touch, Utah hopes to win its third Mountain West Conference championship in four years. "I knew the offense pretty well, but getting in there and getting a shot to actually play and get some game time in the offense really helped," Ratliff said. "It helped a lot confidence wise, knowing that I was capable of making plays and playing at this level." Ratliff threw for four touchdowns in a 41-34 win at BYU, then four more in the Emerald Bowl. In his two starts, he was 47-for-73 for 621 yards. It was only two games, but Ratliff seems to have a knack for winning, so he got the job over transfer Tommy Grady in fall camp. "Brett Ratliff s strength is first of all his poise and his leadership ability. Then his athletic ability comes into play _ his accuracy, his arm strength, his pocket escapeability," offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig said. The Utes open the season Sept. 2 at UCLA in a game that will either get them some national notice or drop them off the radar right away.

After UCLA, the Utes are at home against Division I-AA Northern Arizona on Sept. 9, followed by a visit to Utah State, which has lost eight straight to the Utes. The Mountain West season opens Sept. 23 at San Diego State and Boise State comes to Salt Lake City for a non-conference game in the first of what could be a difficult two-game stretch early in the season. After the Broncos, the Utes host defending MWC champion TCU, which ended Utah's 18-game winning streak last season with an overtime victory. Utah went on to lose three of its next four games, then rallied at the end to salvage the season and beat Georgia Tech 38-10 in the Emerald Bowl, a game the Utes wouldn't have qualified to play in without beating Brigham Young 41-34 in overtime at the end of the regular season. The Utes avoided what was almost a very dreary winter. "No one really likes winter conditioning and winter workouts. It's a grind," defensive back Eric Weddle said. "But when you come off winning four of the last five, going into winter conditioning with some confidence and some swagger it makes everything that much easier to cope with. It makes it that much funner." Weddle, the defensive player of the year in the Mountain West Conference, leads eight starters back on defense. "It's a lot deeper. We have a lot of starters returning _ a lot of guys who have experience in key situations," Weddle said. Five starters are back on offense, including three linemen, but there isn't much experience in • FREE seepage 12 Red Bulls run over SLC Real 6-0 EAST RUTHERFORD, N. J.
