Byu and Cincy have combined for 27 first half turnovers

Postponing Sugarbowl means thousands of fans go home empty-handed.

oxcoug

Surely Leavitt is outperforming Ewers, right? I mean he told us he was better. Honestly I wasn’t sure who to cheer for

Hank Rearden All-American

12:46pm

BYU was the best BIG 12 team.

Chester Copperpot

We’ll never know. Would have been indisputable if we just beat Kansas or ASU 😠

Should’ve won when it mattered then.

I am hopeful to see some better play calling by ASU in the 2nd half

Interesting piece from the WSJ, article linked in body of post:

BigXII shouldn't allow ASU to represent them again.

swingcat

Never PAC-12

WDaddy

12:44pm

Bouncing a missed FG through the uprights should count as 1.5 points. 😁

It should count regardless

Unfortunately, probably no other big 12 teams do either. Clemson did ok

johnnybyu

12:42pm

ASU is embarrassing the Big 12. BYU should have been the representative.

WDaddy

12:42pm

Unfortunately, no one to blame, but Byu for that one

johnnybyu

12:43pm

Byu would have matched up better.

My thoughts on the first half:

Naw, "grabbed the ball at its highest point" is worse because it's unequivocally false

CSoul

Tiny mitt? Massive hands? Paw paw? Ample appendage? Feisty fist? Prolific palm?

CBaass

If only we beat Kansas at home

CBaass

12:40pm

Or ASU away

tiloman

12:41pm

ASU...

ElCapo

12:40pm

That's genuinely bad coaching. Shows his lack of experience. You are getting owned and you go for a less than 50% FG?

CSoul Hardcore Democrat

12:40pm

Given the time on the clock and no TOs, it actually made a lot of sense.

chilawcoug

12:41pm

14 seconds left, 4th and 4, and FG kicker who has missed 2/3 of all FGs recently. Analytics wouldn't say kick it.

CSoul

12:43pm

It was a 36 yard attempt.

VACOUGFAN

12:44pm

He is 3/8 greater than 30 yards for the year. 1/3 between 30-40.

This is the game that not trusting your kicker backfires.

BYU was a top 10 team this year. Team speed/talent especially on D was elite

YoungstownCoug

12:40pm

BYU will have to figure out how to play with expectations.

CasualFan

12:42pm

"ASU doesn't have a kicker.". BYU fans: That must suck.

RobAdams

12:37pm

Yeah, we're in the promised land now but we've been there with ASU

Pantera Azul

ASU can't kick field goals and the offensive line is getting dominated.

I can’t believe how many TOs the Lady Cougs have game after game.

Kennesaw Cougar

It’s women’s basketball. TO’s are kind of the norm.

Well, if you ignore special teams

Hank Rearden

So many UGA and ND fans likely have flights home tomorrow.

garyfan

Yep, flights and hotels are going to be a complete mess.

westsidecoug

A lot I’d assume.

Swag Kazekage

12:35pm

YEAH, going to be a huge mess ... Maybe not quite as bad for Georgia.

Xenon

12:40pm

So, How do you coach / prep for a 24 hour delay?

Xenon

12:34pm

Xbox/PS5 for the win, meaning, walk throughs at the hotel and let the players chill

Littlerich

12:35pm

I would do another walk through and a meeting, just keep the player occupied

germ1

12:36pm

Good play design because if its not there he can still punt it

ASU needs to run the hurry up

1984coug

Nice trick play. Looks like TX watched special teams film as poorly as BYU did

byuTX mutual friends

12:33pm

Texas offense still looks off. For how lopsided this has felt, ASU

RevolutionDeathsquad

12:32pm

That’s how they have been most of the year. Seemed like they got a little on track at the end but just kinda clunky

byuTX

Their offense is definitely their weak spot

ESPN was committed to the timeout there

Belboz

The tv timeout before the built in timeout is something…

1984coug

ASU should have their punter play QB. Throws a better ball than Leavitt.

That is a great fake punt option play design

NOCAL_YFAN

12:31pm

High risk play on their own 20 just so they can get stuffed further downfield.

WDaddy Truly Addicted User

12:30pm

If they can run out the half they at least keep Texas from having two drives

1984coug

12:32pm

dumb from texas but there were two blockers down field by the time the pass was

Beggar

12:30pm

Legal receivers

CougPrime

12:31pm

watch it again. a guy right in the middle was 4 yards down field

Beggar

12:32pm

and the other guy was covered so not a legal receiver

Beggar

12:33pm

I'm not seeing that, but yeah there is a lineman who blocks a little too aggressively.

CougPrime

12:35pm

The guy who caught it was in the backfield

Littlerich

12:37pm

i know he was, but the two guys who were illegally downfield were not

Beggar

12:38pm

I see what you mean, you are correct

Littlerich

12:40pm

Actually I didn't note that the pass was caught behind the LoS, that makes it legal again

CougPrime

12:42pm

LOS was 21 and he caught it around 30

Beggar

12:46pm

Wild to call a fake there, but it paid off.

cougfanblue Assistant to the manager

Yep, could have been like a Boise Linehan special. 🤣

westsidecoug

Can they run a fake punt every play?

How he treats people, the refs, his players, opposing players is very bad leadership.

Plato

Littlerich

Unless they have reason to suspect there’s an ongoing threat
