Is there an accurate estimate out there of how much BYU's payout was from the Alamo Bowl? Or are we all just guessing?

A question I'm happy to be asking--any obviously better defensive performances?

I believe two things are true:

Booya Grandma

8:36am

Offensive play calling was mediocre too

Coug98

8:38am

That was true sometimes and sometimes it was really good

Beggar

8:39am

No, offensive execution was mediocre

SJS

8:43am

Disagree. I thought it was good overall, but definitely some bad moments. Better

HeyU

Maybe at points during the season, but play calls last night were well scripted, just sadly the execution was bad on

CLCougar

With a solid team you can win with a game manager.

Archaea

8:40am

He can't. This is his peak. He won't get better.

88Coug

8:43am

He won’t improve by leaps and bounds but he will be better

Archaea

8:43am

Just stop, this narrative is tiring.

NorCal_Coug

8:44am

It is reality. Accept or live in fantasy.

88Coug

8:51am

I accept you know very little about college football or sports in general…

NorCal_Coug

8:53am

gaffer

8:44am

He won’t get better? That’s as laughable as saying he’ll win the Heisman.

WP17

8:51am

This. Jake wasn’t required to win games with his arm His running ability was big

Kolipoki

8:43am

Ugh. I don't want a game manager. Here's hoping he takes another step forward during the off season.

BYUnerd

8:45am

Two more things are true:

oxcoug

8:41am

I mostly agree. Jake has improved and he should continue to do so.

Booya Grandma

8:43am

I agree. I hope Jake was just John Beck from 2005. Ill take a 2006 JB all day

kansascougar

8:43am

And one more…

ordinary tri guy

8:44am

Great point. No way that ball should have been thrown. Surrounded by CU players

Kolipoki

I’d change #2 to the whole offense being mediocre. It is very possible to have

bluecougar1985

NO!! on #2.

Jake was better then mediocre. Not AA but good. The best byu qbs are seniors
