Ranking system is ridiculous

775coug

9:38am

It has always been flawed. Thankfully it matters less and less every year.

ebv

9:40am

I think Retzlaff got hosed on the Chase Roberts TD

Skeptical Optimist Intervention Needed

Corn Pop

Separate paths for SEC/Big10 getting more momentum this week.

UNLVcougar

9:35am

I think it's a mistake to try to cut off the rest of CFB

Huge Manatee

9:37am

Cam Rising might be my hero. I think he secretly dislikes UU if more than we do.

snowbird

9:35am

Hadn't thought of that. Interesting!

Y-Zag

9:36am

He is an Ute.

Unibro

9:38am

Jake Hatch said that the backup for Pay was also out. What we saw was 3rd string

wildeone

9:32am

Who is 2nd String Center?

wickedgame71

9:34am

Jake Eichorn

jreid191

9:36am

That had a huge effect on the 2nd half offense

Y-Zag

9:35am

Eichorn is listed as backup but I thought it was Makasini playing center

Huge Manatee

9:35am

Yeah moved over from the Guard spot

SWKTNative

9:37am

Eichorn is the backup, but he's also injured so they slid Makisini over from RG

jreid191

9:37am

Because Eichorn was hurt too.

SinkingQuffa

9:37am

Uh . . . its Einhorn.

LifeLongLakerFan

9:37am

Then who’s Finkle?

The Y's Insider

9:38am

What is the Eichorn injury/prognosis?

kC Cougar

Lassiter could have had 150+ yards receiving without the drops, even so 120 is

Today is a great day for collusion. If the Metropolitans and the Braves split, they both advance. Sweep and one is

shimmy In play, run(s)

9:29am

RUSH uh!

Iman23

9:31am

Go Braves.

fbguru

9:32am

It's a weird dynamic because whichever team wins game 1 will want to rest their better pitchers.

OPINIONS

9:32am

Both teams could help each other out today, save their pitching for the WC, but

Corn Pop

9:36am

Did the defense go to a 3 man rush in the second half?

mudpupper

9:29am

They went from zone to man press in the 4th qtr. The zone was getting picked

idcougarfan

9:32am

Also a 3 front

The Y's Insider

9:34am

Hopefully for Zach’s sake this is the formula

CougarCanuck76

9:28am

Zach is still young. Hopefully he can.

wildeone

9:29am

Jets fans are really good at finding the root cause of their issues

Mike Bolton

9:33am

The Jets are just unbelievably bad with quarterbacks. You would think

cougar95

9:40am

I think BYU’s analytics are a little more at odds with each other this year.

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

9:26am

How was the pass efficiency differential vs Baylor?

BlueTooth

9:31am

It depends on the official scoring

Indy Coug

9:37am

My prediction: we beat AZ and OSU, then fall apart at either UCF or Utah.

LegitCoug

9:33am

Pretty sad slate of national games for a bye week.

shimmy In play, run(s)

9:26am

All the more reason to stay tuned in to General Conference lol

ProvoProwler

With the expanded playoff, I see all the other bowl games pointless. Who wants

Magneto

It's been trending that way for years. I think very very few starters from any

I like to see good teams play good teams for conference bragging rights.

notaboy

People will watch because it’s winter and there’s football to watch

docrick

9:29am

What’s the problem with more football. I watch all BYUs bowl games.

marinact

9:34am

Good. Bowl games are stupid. It should have been a tournament all along.

Adwight

9:36am

The key to beating Arizona... running the ball

1984coug

9:22am

Arizona won because they pressured Wilson relentlessly. That is key.

MajorZeus

9:24am

They had an amazing amount of pass breakups. Seemed like Arizona

RIGAMORTIS

9:28am

Utah put too much on Wilson.

The Y's Insider

9:29am

Seemed strange to not run the ball more.

Projectoor

9:30am

Bernard didn't touch the ball once in the final 13:34

1984coug

9:31am

Wow. Criminal.

The Y's Insider

9:36am

Because Utah put it in Wilson's hands from the opening kick

1984coug

9:31am

Especially with the quality of their DBs

BluebloodOR

9:24am

If LJ is back, then great. If Pay is too, even better. Otherwise gonna be tricky

LeonMarek

9:25am

Hopefully the run will loosen up their back end coverage

docrick

9:32am

our run game is very questionable at best

MrSandman

9:33am

Running the ball hasn’t exactly been our strength in recent years.

ldssdl

9:36am

Due primarily to our OL. We are averaging 139 yds/game on 4.0 yds/carry this year. That's decent.

ManicBlue

9:38am

New Mexico & Kansas St both rushed for over 200 yds against them but the utes could only manage 84 yds on 2.9 yds/carry

ManicBlue

9:37am

Anyone having issues with Verizon?

crimedog Insensitive ....

9:21am

Yes- no signal in Chandler AZ.

scall

Verizon is big. Which part? Wireless? Internet? Landline?

kalifi

Wireless

crimedog

snowbird

NorthernLight

My wife's phone is fine. Mine is not. Only major difference is I'm on iOS 18 and she is iOS 17

letthewookieewin

iOS 17 here. No service

deejo

Same my wife is iOS 17 and has service. I am 18 and none

Jake gets a top 10 grade for Week 5 from PFF

Abe Froman

9:20am

That’s awesome 👏

inertiaman

9:22am

We've already beaten 2 of those top 10 QBs too. 🙂

ManicBlue

9:23am

Yeah, that's easy to do when the rating only accounts for

AltTabbins

9:24am

His pass to Lassiter on that long TD was a thing of beauty

Huge Manatee

9:24am

Cool to see Avery Johnson bounce back, Giddens running for 200 yards probably

Rhubarb

9:26am

How many weeks is that for Jake this season?

kccougar

9:34am

Pfft. PFF is clearly bunk: no Cam Rising.

ebv

What have we heard about the injuries? Who is expected back for AZ?

So second week we won with a significant negative net EPA.

What does this mean. I'm dumb.

Winning despite getting outplayed, essentially. Part of it is our coaches take

RGGeemer

9:18am

BYU had similar results after their Arkansas and Cincy wins last year

Indy Coug

9:19am

It still is... there are some cracks being exposed

1984coug

9:23am

This maybe explains some of the uneasiness of our fanbase.

The Y's Insider

9:20am

A team "cruising to a win" doesn't fake a punt on 4 and 11, call WR passes, etc.

All-American

9:12am

Very true.

The Y's Insider

9:25am

Who is the Utah of the SEC? I'm going Texas A&M. Very delusional fans.

maYbe

9:11am

lol no.

MissouriCoug18

9:16am

They are in Texas so they are bound to have way more delusional fans.

maYbe

There is nothing SEC about Utah.

Definitely had a major effect.

It is hard to replace someone at Center in the middle of a game due to the

1984coug

9:13am

The starter also doesn’t keep snapping the ball around the QB’s shins.

Indy Coug

9:16am

oh yeah, on top of setting protections you have to snap it!

1984coug

9:24am

So our depth sucks? That doesn't bode well

CameronG

9:28am

I understand that Pay's backup was also out of that game.

TheRefsStink

9:36am

the play calls would've looked better if Lassiter and Roberts had caught the easy passes they dropped

Drops were a problem Saturday.
