We clinch on Saturday with a win@ASU and a Utah win over ISU.

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

1:36pm

Never Utah.

crazY

1:37pm

Meh. We win out, we’re in anyway. Never cheer for Utah.

CommodoreCoug

1:37pm

Utah can’t beat anyone right now. Forget it.

Rocketman

1:37pm

A few short thoughts from me.

BlueVU

1:34pm

Coaches gotta tell batty to quit flopping.. it’s honestly embarrassing.

GhostRider

1:32pm

So if we lose to ASU we can still get in if K St beats ISU and AZ beats ASU.

YOHONOMOTO

1:32pm

And we beat Houston, yes. But let’s just win out.

CougarTwins

1:32pm

We would also need Colorado to lose a game

McMax

1:33pm

No, we would be playing Colorado in that instance.

My2cents

1:34pm

Or we need Kansas to beat CU. But either way K St has to beat ISU.

YOHONOMOTO

1:35pm

I think this is our most likely scenario. Kansas beats CU and K St beats ISU.

YOHONOMOTO

1:36pm

I haven't seen much discussion about the obvious offensive PI...

lbmango

1:31pm

Absofrigginlutely, that was blatant offensive PI!

jaba166

1:32pm

Didn’t see INT Taysom threw jn 1st half... Bad throw? Tipped ball? Overthrow?

BYUfan92

1:30pm

Threw into double coverage

NYCougz

1:31pm

And was a deeper throw than I would recommend for him

goblin

1:31pm

Yep - trick play that didn’t trick anyone

NYCougz

1:32pm

My favorite thing is hearing SEC coaches talk about how they get persecuted by

Unibro

1:30pm

Not one of my favorite things.

CAPX

1:34pm

I was wondering after the huge win over Utah if it would linger on and keep the

Hinta

1:29pm

How much focus does it require the offense to score a measly 18 points??

eyebleedblu

1:31pm

Video of Taysom TD (language warning in comments since it’s Twitter)

BYUfan92

1:28pm

Detroit needs to bench key starters before they get hurt. This is overkill

Belboz

1:27pm

Agreed.

NYCougz

1:31pm

Formula for feeling better: Reconstruct how crap you'd feel if BYU had lost

oxcoug

1:27pm

Yeah I'll take this loss over the Utah loss any day

MaximusMeridius

1:29pm

BYU was outplayed by Utah and should have lost

rocklincoug

1:30pm

One does not simply stop Taysom Hill

AZPTCOUG

1:26pm

RE: One does not simply stop Taysom Hill

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

1:28pm

So what are the scenarios to make the CCG?

dmatt

1:26pm

Win out

Durden

1:26pm

I'm curious about this too. If we lose to ASU, there's a tie w/ 2-loss teams...

runnincoug

1:27pm

If we lose to ASU, we need KU to beat Colorado and KSU to beat ISU

McMax

1:28pm

Depends on how if ISU can beat KSU in two weeks. Double effect to BYU as KSU’s

BYUHgrad

1:28pm

Basically win out. Last night was the one game buffer we had since ASU beat

BYUHgrad

1:28pm

Taysom is a beast

Adwight

1:25pm

Another Taysom TD!

MaximusMeridius

1:25pm

Taysom - nice TD run on 4th and 1.

BYUfan92

1:25pm

BYU doesn’t spike in the obvious situation last week, and it cost them a FG

cougaman

1:24pm

Seriously.. need to run a play off the first down with that much time left

GhostRider

1:34pm

That was unforgivable and off-the-charts stupidity.

acadian8

1:37pm

ASU has made one field goal in their past six games. That is how BYU beats them.

DC15

1:23pm

Putting all of the blame on one factor for the loss implies nothing else was

MaximusMeridius

1:21pm

Ok coaching and the offense. The D was not perfect but did enough to win and the

Blew

1:23pm

Defense was generally great. Except that first drive they were awful

MaximusMeridius

1:26pm

We didn't know.

oxcoug

1:20pm

Come on Bears!!

FabLabCougar

1:20pm

We are really struggling running in between the tackles which is makes it tough for the rest of the time… we need to

crm48 Pretty...Pretty...Pretty Good

Moa did fine. Can’t figure out why we only ran him once.

Yes. North south runner

kirkko

valcorger

1:24pm

Exactly

Coug98

1:24pm

That was largely on those last drives when defense was playing coverage since byu had to score… we have not been running

crm48

1:28pm

We are averaging 4.8 ypc which is very respectable

I'mBatman

Starting to come to that conclusion, too regarding ARod. But to say we aren’t

BYUHgrad

Two stats that summarize the game.

LateToTheGame

Or maybe not overthrow deep routes and underthrow fades

Big12Yfan

We stopped running trick plays. Maybe that’s it.

Boring

This. ☝🏻 I was thinking the same thing. Needed a spark to loosen things up.

Idahoancoug91

1:26pm

The O is playing tight, nervous, scared. And Jake has been very inaccurate

Still Blue

1:32pm

Our defense played like a Top 5-10 team. Not many defenses in the Country would

Gonna take a long time for me to forgive that outrageous corner-fade call. Cost

PGVikingDad

1:08pm

And very poorly executed.

Brigham

1:10pm

Like epically

Big12Yfan

1:11pm

Even spiking the ball there, they were scrambling like

novacoug1

1:10pm

Yes, we seemed panicked. We had time and time-outs, yet spiked the ball wasting

Brigham

1:11pm

That spike nearly killed me, too. Such incompetence, and a Twilight Zone repeat

PGVikingDad

1:11pm

I could forgive it if we go on a 6 game win streak now. I'll eat a beefy 5 layer burrito with my face if we do it.

foofcoug

1:11pm

You mean 7 game? I doubt we get a bye now.

AZPTCOUG

1:11pm

That'd be a bonus. I'm fine losing in the Finals. Don't want to be too greedy.

foofcoug

1:13pm

You think winning the BigXII CCG won’t get us the four seed? BSU would not get

BYUHgrad

1:24pm

Maybe if Boise is undefeated with only loss to #1 undefeated Oregon.

AZPTCOUG

Eat THE beefy 5-layer burrito, and I'll be impressed.

RE: Eat THE beefy 5-layer burrito, and I'll be impressed.

foofcoug

1:16pm

Has it been confirmed if Jake changed Aron’s call to the fade?

Traveshamockery

1:12pm

Oh I rage cussed when it happened and I'm still really ticked off about it

Coug

1:13pm

I was yelling at the TV the moment I recognized a pass play developing. Just the

PGVikingDad

1:15pm

Same. My son typically is quiet during the game and he was really ticked also

Coug

1:24pm

W have too many good players to throw a high risk play to a lowly used player

NYCougz

1:14pm

This is one of the most bizarre sports fan cliches, to me. Do people really feel

shoganai

1:16pm

Yup, I have to agree. 1st and goal at the 5, and we've got 40 seconds and

jaba166

1:25pm

Yeah, LJ was over 7 YPC in 1H and we don’t run from the 5, with 2 timeouts. dumb

OmahaThunderCoug

1:04pm

Happened early and they started highly ranked so it doesn't matter anymore

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

1:07pm

They don’t deserve it at all. college Football is still broken.

OmahaThunderCoug

1:08pm

The committee is laughing at your feelings

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

1:10pm

Of course they are. I can picture them now.

OmahaThunderCoug

1:17pm

They are #6, #4, and #8 in Sagarin, FPI, and SP+ respectively. Sounds like the #6 team to me.

TCuz

1:23pm

POLL: Complacency (per Roberts & Retzlaff). Who's fault is it?

TrueBlue67

It's a failure at multiple levels. All the way down to each individual.

No touching All-American

1:04pm

I don't believe you. You'd still be upset if Kansas had looked really good.

shoganai

1:05pm

No, that would be one of those losses that CB is totally fine with.

Junior Deputy

1:22pm

Their last 3 games they beat 2 ranked teams and barely lost to a ranked KSU. The

SUAVO

1:06pm

Our D made them look bad.

IronPotato

1:07pm

Their defense didn't look great either.

No touching

1:09pm

Kansas is better than you give them credit for.

Squirt

1:07pm

Maybe. Maybe we just made them look bad. We beat them statistically. But somehow we managed to pull off the loss.

No touching

1:19pm

Sagarin and FPI both rate Kansas in the top 30

All-American

1:14pm

We held them to a season low in scoring, our offense was horrific

Jericho

1:34pm

I guess we are the worst one loss team in the nation. Even worse than the one

Hambone

Ap poll is a joke and should be removed. Just start the cfp rankings in week 1.

Nonsense. We have money and are P4.

rivercitycoug

1:11pm

How many P4 teams with money are chasing the unicorn OC?

fattycoug

1:12pm

There is no OC that meets all of the expectations fans put on them

Plenty aren’t bottom 120 in third down conversions 2-years running. Those are

You can find some other stat they suck at. Very few are consistently good year

fattycoug

1:11pm

We can afford much better, we aren’t in the MWC anymore. Let’s go get a real OC

crm48

1:20pm

He’s great if he has a dual threat QB

Jericho

1:36pm

I will forever stand that when two teams have the same record and one team won

Warner

1:02pm

If there are several losses, I can see a disparity, but with only 1 loss?

MarylandFan

1:04pm

But they lost to a better team, so they're...better than the team who beat them?

PGVikingDad

1:10pm

Another thing lost in the conversation is that the other teams at the top of the Big 12 standings still have games left

Would be funny if Kansas beat ISU, BYU then Colorado

Could happen

12:59pm

BYU lost for 3 reasons. 1. Mistakes 2. Inability to make a big plays in the red

byusage

12:51pm

I'd leave #3 off the list altogether. They scored 17 points with 7 being absolutely gifted to them.

foofcoug

12:54pm

The defense did great on 1st and 2nd down, but gave up several big plays on 3rd

byusage

12:59pm

3rd down is a frustration on both sides of the ball. The defense seems to do a better job of overcoming the 3rd down

foofcoug

1:03pm

I can agree that the first 2 trump the 3rd and led to the loss

Kansas had season low total yards, rushing yards, first downs, and tied their
