BYU knelt the ball with 18 seconds left in the 4th quarter. The scoreboard...

Why do our OC's treat the starting quarterback like a sacred calling?

Nice to have rushed for over 130 yds/gm so far. We only gained over 100 yds in five games last year.

when there is no threat from the QB to beat you through the air, its much easier

Cougulator

Had me until "We are going to give Gerry a shot next game." They aren't going to play Gerry, and that's frustrating.

It’s not a good sign, and it sucks that we are thin at RB to boot

Losing the run game with lj hurt the whole offense

Highly underutilizing his best WR (Chase).

2FarGone

Kind of makes sense, but when your QB is 15/28 with 1 TD and 2 INTs with a QBR of 29.9 that means something was wrong.

Brisket

Pretty sure OP knows that there were significant QB issues. We saw 3 QBs

Wonder why we suck on 3rd down? Here’s why

Garn

12:34am

Just need 1-2 more yards on the other downs.

Updating...

12:44am

ARod loves to run shorter and expect YAC.

2FarGone

12:45am

Easy to game plan against when that is what you always do. Numbers show always

Garn

12:48am

Throw to the Dern sticks ARod. He tired hard to have a worse game than jake

JosephAllenMaldonado

1:01am

Most of the time there were people open downfield. This wasn't ARod.

Celeritas

1:19am

Because we suck on 1st & 2nd downs. Look at how many of those are 5+ yards to go

foofcoug

1:23am

The receivers are the strength of the offense.

Our defense was great. Lucky for SMU that their special teams

Yes, he's got issues, but the WRs were dropping balls too.
