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.

Osho Quotes on Meditation

Osho Quotes on Meditation If tea-drinking can become a meditation, then anything can become a meditation — cooking or washing your clothes, any activity can be transformed into meditation. And the real sannyasin, the real seeker, will transform all his acts into meditation. Only then, when meditation spreads over all your life, not only when you are awake in the day — slowly slowly it starts penetrating and permeating your being in sleep too — when it becomes just part of you, like breathing, like your heartbeat, then, only, have you attained to the discipline, to the essential discipline of Zen. Meditation means: drop all thoughts, drop all ideologies, drop all knowledge. Drop the mind itself. The mind is constantly talking. If the inner talk can drop even for a single moment you will be able to have a glimpse of no-mind. That’s what meditation is all about. The state of no-mind is the right state. It is your state. Millions of people miss meditation because meditation has taken on...

Azure has two lines of separate pieces of bread next to each other, On one line she spreads peanut butter, and on the other line she spreads jam.

33 Crore Gods (Devi / Devtas) of Hindus

33 Crore Gods of Hindus For the believers of God, it is an accepted faith across the globe that God is one. Hindus too believe so, but then there remains a question often shaped as a mockery over Hindus about the various practices of worship rendered to innumerous God in their faith. And this question is often thrown by people, who are philosophically and religiously recognized. How come Hindu religion has 33 crore Gods? Is it sensible at all to believe and practice this? I have a question – How can one decide what is sensible and what is not, particularly when none of those great thinkers have attained perfection in realization of God, none of them have seen God, none of them have heard God. There are numerous instances where religion, religious books and their beliefs have tried to define God. Criticism is an easy thing to do but we have coins with two sides always. Realization of the positive side and its practice is not only hard to recognize but difficult to accept as well. Critic...
