BYU heads to Arkansas with a newlook offense but not on purpose



Brigham Young scored 35 points against Arkansas in the teams' meeting last year. Expecting that happen against in 2023 is silly.

Not only are the Cougars a much different team than they were last year, they will be a much different team Saturday than they expected to be last week.

Freshman running back LJ Martin is set to get his first start of the season after leading BYU in yards rushing through the team's first two games with 118. Most expected UNLV transfer Aidan Robbins to not only earn the No. 1 gig, but potentially show out as an all-conference type performance. Robbins ran for more than 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns last year.

But it's been Martin, in his first year out of high school in El Paso, who has been best, by far. Offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick simply said Martin's ability to break tackles has allowed him to leapfrog others in the depth chart.

For the good news, there's also bad for BYU. Wide receiver Kody Epps was supposed to make his season debut against Arkansas on Saturday, but he suffered a setback from a hamstring injury and is a game-time decision. Epps caught 39 balls with six touchdowns last year, both second on the team.

First-year quarterback Kedon Slovis, a transfer from Pittsburgh, has distributed the ball at a clip of 246 yards per game even without Epps, though, so BYU can sling it a bit.

Long-term, the Cougars' prospects are better with Epps, but for now, they're worrying about Saturday against the Razorbacks.

"It would be great to get him back if we ever do, but not sure yet," Roderick said.

British victory in Falklands War might spur Argentina to build nukes CIA feared

Agency worried that Argentina's political isolation following defeat could play a role in a decision to advance its nuclear program The CIA feared that British victory in the 1982 Falklands conflict would encourage Argentina's ruling military junta to step up its efforts to construct nuclear weapons, according to a newly uncovered report. Intelligence analysts at the spy agency examining the issue of nuclear proliferation wrote in a secret report that "the Falkland Islands crisis is raising security issues for Buenos Aires that could influence Argentine attitudes towards the development of nuclear technology." The report, dated 24 April 1982, said: "A humiliation in the Falklands probably would encourage the conclusion that the possession of nuclear weapons - or merely the foreign belief that Argentina had such weapons - might have made the UK more accommodating. A major reverse for Argentina in the dispute could persuade it to proceed to build nuclear weapons....

Osho – forget about being aware

Osho – forget about being aware: rather, start enjoying the thought process in OSHO INSIGHTS ON MEDITATION [A sannyasin says that he is fed up with his mind. I feel I’m never here and I never see anything at all. I try everything: I try meditation, I try to be aware, But often I don’t feel it. Osho checks his energy.] Osho – Two things to be remembered…. One: don’t try to stop it. That’s how you are creating the whole problem; don’t try to stop it. It is very natural to you; you will go crazy if you try to stop it. It will be like a tree trying to stop its leaves; the tree will go mad. The leaves are very natural to it. You are a mind person. If you try to become a heart person you will create so much trouble for yourself, and unnecessarily, because there is a way which goes from the mind itself. There is no need to change yourself into a heart person, mm? That will be against your intrinsic nature. Always listen to your nature, follow your nature. To be natural is to be religio...
