BYU vs CU in the Alamo bowl?

POLL: How would you Rate A-Rod's performance as BYU's OC?

MyTwoCents

7:33am

Jake's closest comp is Riley Nelson. Which is why he is so polarizing with fans.

maYbe

7:28am

He’s a better passer and a better runner imo

kotacoug

7:31am

Stronger arm as well. And taller

wisconsincougs

They don't seem very similar to me. Not sure who a good comp is though.

thewaterboy

7:42am

Unfortunately, new P4 and former independent BYU leading the B12 helped solidify

DirtyWater

7:25am

Hopefully ACC and big 12 champ can outperform expectations on the field.

Kdubb

7:27am

The ACC was in a position to get 3 teams in had Miami & Clemson won last week

CaliWG

7:27am

Umm probably the loss or Texas and Oklahoma would be the major reason.

kotacoug

7:32am

Agree. The Big 12 is the only conference without blue bloods.

Everyman

7:44am

The most impressive non-P2 game this year was Boise almost beating Oregon

BYU Fan

If the preseason ranked teams had performed like BYU, ASU and ISU

Big12 with only two teams in top 18 of first NET ratings.

BYU only #48

Providence is 104. That could be a good road win. Just win baby.

NET of our last three OOC opponents: 104, 255 and 244. Really needed that OSU

you're missing the actual last nonconference opponent - #334 Florida A&M. One

cwilke1

7:42am

Lots of bad losses early on for the Big 12

BYU Fan

7:17am

18 is a weird cutoff? What about Top 20?

Dangerous

7:20am

Because 2 of the top 18 sounds worse than 4 of the top 20 (or 5 of the top 22).

jreid191

7:25am

Clearly Big12 is doing awesome. That totally changes it. Claiming two in top 18

BGRTHNUMEGO

7:28am

If your point is valid, you can make it without cherry picking stats

Here's the full NET ratings from NCAA website

And 5 Big 12 teams in the Top 22.

22 is a weird cutoff.

As natural as 18

chilawcoug

7:43am

our schedule makers sure did a pathetic job this season for the nonconference

cwilke1

7:45am

I want to be upset with rankings and SEC bias...but, BYU had full control of its own destiny, then crapped the bed.

Preppy All-American

7:05am

Not just full control, but a two-game lead. We could have lost one, and still had full control.

cougarfann888

We had full control and two game lead going into the second week of November. Very few teams had that.

Kind of surprised Demin is mentioned after his first 2 games against P4 teams

It's a prognostication based on available data and logic that he'll adapt to

Covid-19

7:38am

He did seem off the last 2 games. Honestly thought he might be sick.

MD Rebel Coug

Demin going in top 5 would also be a great model for young Euros to follow. And BYU would be a great place for them

I think the issue was NOT having the main tunnel...

Xenon

My one issue with ARod is how plodding or conservative his offense is at times.

It's a valid point and obviously a conscious decision to play a slower style. I

Blueto

Seems strategic- to shorten the game, likely to protect the Defense.

Protect the defense, and limit Jake turnovers maybe.

I don't know that those are coordinator issues. Overall coaching philosophy issue.

Nah. Shedeur, Hunter and who knows who else will be sitting out / checked out

Cooouuugs

6:46am

Deion had explicitly said that Shedeur and Hunter are going to play.

6:48am

Fact

Ron Mexico

Whatever Deion says goes? We’ll see. It’s rare for players of their caliber

That's because Shedeur and Hunter don't want to risk injury cuz they're looking

Analytics may favor the style of play now. That doesn’t mean the NBA is more

Jdoc

I think a lot of the number crunchers don’t actually understand statistics

Coop
