Pop tarts spent like $8b today. Got a fun game though.

It’s amazing how much I laughed with people dressed like pop tarts

NYCougz

I’m absolutely buying a box of Pop Tarts this week

The crunchy ones??

What flavor?

Jake Retzlaff rushing stats compared to other QBs in cfb:

byujacob INSUFFERABLE KNOW IT ALL

12:58am

Good for him. Lots of clutch runs for not being a “dual threat” QB but a pretty well rounded game manager

GoodBetterBestBYU

1:02am

If they all return, could be an all time LB core in '25. Fastest ever perhaps

cajuncoug

Amazing performances tonight

Man with all four of those guys makes you wonder if they shouldn’t do some 3-4 sometimes?

Anyone know when Swanson leaves for his mission? Here for spring?

The sooner the better.

JuicyJam

On postgame said he's leaving in a few weeks.

He leaves at the very end of January

Yes, that’s exactly right.

You were freaking nuts. Did you get your head checked because you should have

Jake Retzlaff compared to top 100 FBS players with at least 1000 yards passing:

byujacob INSUFFERABLE KNOW IT ALL

12:42am

Hard to not feel like we were one great QB away from conference champ

775coug

12:46am

It's like you have a personal grudge. Did Jake give your wife an autograph?

LSUcougar92

12:47am

I'm just posting his stats. Why do you feel like his stats are negative?

byujacob

12:47am

Your stat Cherry-picking is interesting. He seems to live in your head rent free

LSUcougar92

12:48am

What other stats would you like to see?

byujacob

12:49am

I’m excited for his analysis of every position.

NYCougz

12:57am

He didn’t say anything subjective 😂

775coug

12:48am

Of those top 100, only 16 have 11 or more wins. Jake is one of them

bigbossbyu

12:52am

Yet they still had that big Menorah in front of the Alamo

calvindyer

12:56am

Now overlay that data with wins and see who drops out? I think you are straining at gnats and ignore so many

GoodBetterBestBYU

1:10am

Remind me your “why” in this exercise? Do you advocate we send Jake to the portal for someone else? Start Bohanan?

GoodBetterBestBYU

1:13am

One big positive from Retzlaff this year: He’s been a very good read option QB.

DC15

12:41am

Imagine being so bad at defense that you give up 49 points to Colorado

LaVellIfIKnow

I’ve seriously been trying to figure that out for that last several hours.

12:51am

Hans Olsen coming back to the fold very lucky, the U dumpster fire would be

SwanSong

12:39am

The only thing that’s changed about Hans is your perception of him. He has not changed at all. He was never a Ute homer

KYU

12:40am

He absolutely was a homer

YOHONOMOTO

12:46am

100%.

COUGZ

12:50am

It’s a pretty accurate litmus test of fan intelligence.

KYU

12:51am

Agree with almost all that but he has/had a man crush on Whit.

shimmy

12:47am

He has a crush on good football, and Whittingham has produced some really good football.

KYU

12:50am

It’s Whitt personally. And that’s fine

shimmy

1:00am

I don't think he was a Utah homer, I think he was positive towards Utah to avoid

LSUcougar92

12:41am

He was positive to Utah and negative to BYU consistently.

YOHONOMOTO

12:47am

That’s because Utah had consistently produced good football and BYU had not.

KYU

Love that Jamaal’s mom is still a huge BYU fan and supporter.

Awesome, Jamaal is my fav and even tho idk his mom, she’s awesome too

KYU

Not great

Not bad either. Closer to great than bad actually

I'm not ripping him apart. I'm just showing his stats compared to other QBs.

byujacob

12:42am

You are staying pretty late after an amazing win and an amazing season

NYCougz

12:44am

If you think I'm ripping him apart by doing side by side comparisons, what does that tell you about your interpretation

byujacob

12:45am

I’m asking the question of why you are posting it.

NYCougz

12:47am

I'm just posting a side by side comparison for discussion. You are the one who thinks it's negative.

byujacob

12:48am

Lot of work for a point. What is it?

GoodBetterBestBYU

12:49am

Ok. Will you be analyzing just this position or others?

We are the fan base that booed bosco

Don’t know how his rushing stats compare to the rest of the league, but when

Anyone else feel like this game was similar to UCF game?

This was an even bigger beat down. But yeah the UCF game was probably to closest

He played like Jake. He won't be high on the list of all-time BYU QBs.
