So BYU has played two P4 seasons. Utah has played one. How’s it going so far?

They were 1 holding call away from avoiding a 7 game losing streak. So pretty good.

It really is nuts how some are calling for peoples heads after an 11-2 season.

I can’t let this pass without commenting

BYU just had an 11-2 season (I know, I know, it could have been 13+-0). Yes, QB

It’s amazing we had a 11-win season without a Beck/Max/Sark/Zach-like QB

johnnybyu

10:21am

Retz' season was very much like Beck's 2004 season. So we did have that.

runnincoug

10:24am

On the broadcast they said that Jake was super beat up for the Kansas and ASU

Windward_Coug

10:08am

I didn’t know it at the time.

DirtyWater

10:09am

It was rumored. And it was nice for GB to come in and show why playing him may have been a bad idea.

shimmy

10:09am

Not well known, but he got injured in the Utah game

2FarGone

10:09am

He was clearly hesitant to run

I'mBatman

10:11am

To the coaches yes...to the fan base, no

Heinz57

10:14am

That's on the coaches. If the starter isn't good to go, the backup

SV72 Sale

10:19am

And maybe the backup doesn't lose 2 games. And the starter is back for the CFP

88Coug

10:23am

You could tell. He couldn’t/didn’t run, which he’s always used well.

A couple of things we need to give Retzlaff more credit for…

DizzyDean

10:05am

I like the take but no way I take Jake over Sanders or Dart.

ordinary tri guy

10:07am

I like Sanders. My remarks weren’t directed at him.

DizzyDean

10:11am

Good runner, tough/gritty, and a good leader. I think he gets pretty good credit for that.

shimmy

10:09am

While he had more turnovers than I would have liked, I do think he

paulb

10:11am

As far as QB play he is slightly above average P4. As far as leadership,

I'm hoping he'll work with Beck in the off season to improve his mechanics and accuracy.

A short Kalani story now that the season is over

fattycoug

10:05am

1984 doesn’t happen without 1983. That great, though imperfect season helped

SoCalCoug

10:04am

Didn’t BYU start 1984 unranked?

JohnnyComeLately

10:06am

yes. Beat 3rd ranked Pitt on the road in game 1 and were ranked in top 10 week 2

fulano

10:08am

Kinda crazy how so many things had to go right for us that year. Pitt was objectively a really bad team. But that first

stev All-American

Gutted out a couple of tough and improbable wins, and led the team to 11 wins.

SoCalCoug

10:06am

Yes. Absolutely. My point still stands.

stev

10:06am

Careful, any criticism of Jake will get you an eye roll from cougarbob137, aka

jigidajrit

10:06am

It’s wild. Some guys don’t want us to point out obvious truths.

stev

10:07am

It’s more that Jake haters refuse to acknowledge his strengths or his feats

arcawley

10:15am

Both can be true, no?

jigidajrit

10:17am

And still better injured than the backup when healthy

2FarGone

RE: Hard truths on Jake

BYUgeezer

10:14am

I’m not comparing him to our great QBs. I’m comparing him to the other 130 FBS QBs this year.

stev

10:23am

So…he’s smack dab in the middle of the country in his 1st full year? Not bad lol

arcawley

10:14am

He is what he is. We knew coming into the year that he has obvious deficiencies

shoganai

SinkingQuffa

So long that it feels like we are starting a new season

Projectoor

I almost said that in my post. Egor being out contributes to that feeling, prob.

SinkingQuffa

10:08am

The only win 1-9 ACC has in the bowl season is Syracuse beating

There should be no more “national rankings”.

Borg

10:01am

So...UNLV? Memphis? Army? Should they be in over Tenn or Penn State?

Crazy Joe Davola

10:04am

I don’t really know or care. Give G5 access. Win your conference or be #2 in

Borg

10:05am

Conferences aren't even close to equal. SEC...B1G..B12......ACC.....................................AAC..............MWC

Crazy Joe Davola

10:09am

This is where the problem starts. Making these not geographical conferences is

MustacheMan

10:11am

Greenrake dupe?

NGB

10:01am

Nope. Don’t want some committee favoring some ‘name’ team early season

Borg

10:04am

Is it fair for a G5 team with a one-off decent team to play NO ONE and get in? Why do they get an easy path?

Crazy Joe Davola

10:06am

I will never understand why you think a 7-5 MAC champ should get a chance over an 11-1 P4 team just because they beat

RealTaysomHill

10:04am

Then it’s a warm up game for P4. No problem. But they have access and can’t

Borg

10:06am

But we would be leaving out a team that could legitimately be the best team in the country so that a crappy team can

RealTaysomHill

10:11am

I say let every P4 have their top 3 teams, top 2 G5 over all and 2 at large.

MustacheMan

10:06am

Ok. That works too. Get rid of fictitious national rankings

Borg

10:06am

They still rank NCAA basketball teams

IMO, the most accurate way to view this season is as a warning shot to the rest

shoganai

9:54am

We're going to run this conference?

Blueto

9:56am

No. We are going to compete year in and year out in this conference.

Borg

9:58am

16-team conferences will be tough for anybody to dominate over an extended

On a screen pass, does the receiver have to be behind the line of scrimmage when

Correct. Parker is just at the line; much further and they’d have called it.

Not really a screen. Screen-like.

If Parker caught it a yard or two further, yes

NGB

Yes, that probably could have been called, but that close and they shouldn't
