Retzlaff first half vs Retzlaff second half. What happened? KSU adjust? Regress

My 8YO cougar fan son. So full of wisdom.

We’ve been conditioned-We could be 10-0 and I would wonder if a blowout was next

P-Widdy

Your son is wise beyond his years.

Disco Lemonade

Except that this is not the point in the season that we normally start losing.

Sea Chicken

McMurphy has BYU at 18, right behind…. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

BamaCoug

I just don’t understand that lol.

conetah

8:08am

I don't get why ISU is a top 10 team.

Mostlyaccurate

8:08am

Barta

RGGeemer

8:09am

Probably because they beat Iowa early in the season.

HuskerFan2

8:11am

They've have a win against good team. We've had 2 wins against good teams

Mostlyaccurate

PLEASE don’t twitter bomb him. Leave that behavior to USU and utah fans

byuTX

8:09am

Byu and Kansas state should both be higher than Utah based on the season

Tuskaloosa Cougar

8:10am

Preseason rankings are so stupid

RGGeemer

8:11am

Good. Keep it this way. Rankings mean little right now other than motivation.

blackandblue

8:11am

Perfect example of why pre season ranking are dumb. Still affecting his voting

Cougar TD

8:12am

It’s how the powerful keep their power.

Soupie

8:12am

I want the chip on our shoulder. Keep it up!

The Dark Knight

8:12am

Also, ranking Kentucky is wild.

Perhaps the football gods have heard the cries of all their football children and all it took was a new conference that

Ute fans showing up at the BYU/Baylor game

To be fair, we are our fans of the team Utah plays as well. Idk.

conetah

Big 12 fans get Utah.

Abe Froman

8:05am

There are no gimmes in this conference, but our next 4 games are tough ones

inertiaman

8:04am

Hoping for 2-2 or better

RGGeemer

8:06am

Hoping for 4-0

Sea Chicken

8:07am

2-2 then finish 3-0 and we will have a CC shot depending on tiebreakers

RE: 2-2 then finish 3-0 and we will have a CC shot depending on tiebreakers

RGGeemer

8:09am

If we can go 3-1, that would be huge

inertiaman

8:09am

If we can go 4-0 that would be hugest

Cougar TD

8:14am

Cams stats look good because he mostly played vs SUU

puntersarepeople

8:07am

That's fair. But there's no doubt he's better for them than a true freshman.

inertiaman

8:09am

He's being held together with bailing twine and chewing gum.

ryebrye

8:11am

He’s a good QB…

conetah

8:13am

Granted Risings totals were largely against SUU

BYU '80

8:08am

Was the Baylor QB the best QB we have played all season?

AZPTCOUG

8:03am

Go watch what Avery Johnson did yesterday

Blueto

8:05am

I think it was the best Oline BYU has faced and we got little pressure on him

Borg

8:06am

I get the frustration with Arod at times, but I think some people feel that way with every OC. Overall I think he's done

Nuke All-American

8:02am

Everyone seems to love Hans Olsen's take on things. Go listen to what he has to say about Roderick's critics.

I don’t rely on someone else to give me my opinion

Helm Hammerhand

I was a big Arod believer. Now not so much. Nothing against him. I just wish he

Helm Hammerhand

8:09am

Fox Sports. BYU #15. Not too shabby!

Borg

8:01am

Almost good enough for an at-large spot

ABCoug

8:03am

Unlikely big 12 gets and at large spot unless they have an undefeated regular

johnnybyu

8:05am

Which still includes BYU and Iowa State

ABCoug

8:10am

Love RJ… is he related to KEVIN

44C

8:05am

Figured Kansas st would have been higher

SUAVO

8:10am

Why’d Utah attempt a FG down 13 with under 3 minutes to go?

Yukon

8:01am

Yes & could have tried onside kick.

Soupie

8:07am

Arizona attempted the FG.

bluesloth

8:07am

They didn't.

RGGeemer

UDOT would have finished all construction projects... If Cam Rising had played.

ESPN FPI: Upon further review...

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

Tank's Dad

they have Arizona as BYU's second easiest game the rest of the way. After last

cwilke1

7:59am

Giving Az to much credit

ABCoug

8:01am

FPI is terrible

RGGeemer

8:10am

10 wins as straight up favorite vs 2 wins at season start

ABCoug

7:59am

Whitt's fourth down gambles early in the game

Carnac

7:55am

Arrogance at the highest level

LV Coug

7:56am

In addition to that, Utah abandoning the run and not using Bernard in those

TempeCoug

7:57am

They were stuffing Bernard all night. But he still ended up w/ 91 yrd at 5.7 yrd average.

Soupie

8:09am

Terrible thing to do for your new QB.

kccougar

7:57am

Agree 100% they would have controlled the whole first half and not been so

johnnybyu

8:00am

So how's Utah's easy part of their schedule going so far?

machete

7:53am

He's got a point...

Jimo Dashen We few, we happy few

7:51am

Sounds like Jeff Grimes is getting his play calling stripped from

wildlandfireguy

7:49am

Id have him back here as OC in an instant

UnoDoctor

7:50am

Terrible take. Arod is significantly better than Grimes

BlueOptimist

7:51am

Arod had to take over much of the play calling duties when Grimes was here

TempeCoug

7:51am

Last year would have loved him w/ Oline but we’re fine now.

Soupie

7:54am

Arod almost cost us the SMU game and Baylor game.

UnoDoctor

7:56am

But calling for Jeff Grimes to come back as OC is idiotic.

wildlandfireguy

7:57am

Im not saying that is my preferred candidate

UnoDoctor

7:59am

Sorry just an uninformed take about Grimes.

TempeCoug

8:02am

Maybe

UnoDoctor

8:07am

He has been so much worse than A-rod. Kansas' offense has regressed greatly

wildlandfireguy

7:52am

People are never happy. AROD isn't perfect but come on.

Cougar TD

7:52am

Agreed. I am not a fan of ARod but Grimes would be worse.

HuskerFan2

7:55am

It's amazing how satisfied some of you are with average to below average coaches

byubyu

7:52am

Im not

UnoDoctor

7:53am

You want someone else besides Arod fine but suggesting Grimes is woefully

TempeCoug

8:00am

Which of BYU’s average to below average coaches got us to 5-0?

Abe Froman

7:59am

Not recently demoted soon fired Grimes. But apparently some still want him back

byubyu

8:11am

sheesh the Arod hate is insane. Arod's not all-conference, but he's solid

runnincoug

7:56am

Be careful what you wish for

44C

8:02am

Lol. The same Grimes that had his playcalling duties stripped from him while he was at BYU?

kccougar

7:59am

RE: Lol. The same Grimes that had his playcalling duties stripped from him while

wildlandfireguy

8:00am

That's what happened at BYU too.

kccougar

7:58am

Yep. Sounds like he will be fired at the end on this season.

Because of your board name, I believe your prognostication

I'm guessing BYU will be ranked 17th give or take one spot. Will jump OkSt, Utah

BamaCoug

7:47am

Will be surprised still if we pass Utah

BYU'01

7:49am

I’d say 20 at best. Utah and Louisville won’t drop that much I think

Durden

Brett McMurphy has Utah 17, BYU 18, KSU 19, & AZ 20.

TempeCoug

7:50am

I am predicting 19

BYU has the 2nd best strength of record in the country, behind Bama

RE: BYU has the 2nd best strength of record in the country, behind Bama

Brigham

Yep FPI has BYU as 34th nationally, still behind SMU and KSt lol

BamaCoug

7:48am

Of course playing BYU is their big boost

ABCoug

Yeah I'm really perplexed by this. I guess FPI must really hold on to the

Been fun to watch some big wins this year! Go Cougs! RTR!

My favorite thing from the Utah game. Was that the refs were finally calling out

My kids would be ready for Church already... If Cam Rising had played. 🌵 🌵

There would be nothing but world peace and joy if Cam played.

Also incredibly fun to think about Dybantsa being there

Trying to decide if we go. Been traveling a lot this year. It isn't far, but

Cougar TD

7:46am

A case that Retzlaff is a great Big12 QB

You forgot the ultimate Big12 QB, If Cam Rising.

Courtimedes

I said, the QBs I have watched play ... Rising hasn't played much this year 😉

Retzlaff has elite foot speed and a quick release and is a gamer. he has

Utah currently sitting at 5% chance down from almost 30%. Meanwhile BYU at 23%

Brett McMurphy’s AP ballot goes: 9. Iowa St 17. Utah 18. BYU 19. K State 20. Arizona

What an idiot. BYUs resume is notably better than Iowa State

UnoDoctor

Cyclones with the better win (at Iowa). The good news is we can settle it on

Yukon

7:59am

He must be ranking the mythical rising led utes ahead of AZ. Dont know of any other justification

Crazy Joe Davola

7:32am

I this this is a reasonable ranking. Some of you guys just want everybody to transitive property down the ballot.

TCuz

7:34am

No, we just think 5 games is probably enough to ditch pre-season bias

Beggar

7:36am

Rank all the 5-0 teams first, then the 4-1 teams, etc.!!!

TCuz

7:42am

That’s exactly what I said

Beggar

7:43am

The AP ballot is not a ranking of resumes. That would be absurd 5 weeks into the season.

TCuz

7:46am

Want ranking to reflect results not preseason hype

johnnybyu

7:39am

So BYU with 2 P4 road wins and a top 15 win at home is 10 spots lower than ISU

Beggar

7:32am

It is amazing how stupid don't voters can be week to week. Logic goes out the

Cougar TD

They can’t shake off preseason bias.

johnnybyu

That's a good point. Even 5 games in, and you have a ton to work with. And you

Cougar TD

7:44am

How is Iowa State 9? They only scored 20 on Houston

Adrielle

7:46am

And most came late in the game. It was 3-0 forever

BYU '80

7:59am

Let them stay at 9. BYU plays them. BYU will need wins against top 25 teams to move up.

HuskerFan2

8:02am

I didn't watch the yewt game. Was it actually closer than the score indicates

BYUMizzou

7:30am

No

TheHop

7:30am

I guess if their ineptitude to put up more than 3 pts until mid 4Q constitutes close game.

WDaddy

7:31am

If anything it was much worse. Utah had one nice late drive.

rad dawg

7:33am

After an interception no less when Arizona was driving and I believe in the

bythenumbers

7:44am

It was a horrible decision by Fafita. He had a TE underneath that was wide open. Might have scored. If not a FD. Instead

Chemish

They had nice drives in the first but Whitt wouldn’t settle for field goals

johnnybyu

Lol. No.

0-4 on 4th down conversions. Whitt’s pride got in way of those decisions. Hilarious so see him be

Soupie
