Indy Coug

And what was his passer efficiency against p5 teams?

Mostlyaccurate

11:47am

I don’t think they even played anyone notable

kotacoug

11:49am

His competition was pretty poor

Huge Manatee

11:48am

Regardless, being top 15 doesn't somehow mean you're really 115th because of competition

Indy Coug

11:50am

Well, look at Retzlaff vs SIU compared to SMU

Huge Manatee

11:51am

SMU didn't play 14 FCS teams last year

Indy Coug

Just pointing out how the competition can make you look a lot better than you

Nine 3 and outs and 2/13 on 3rd down is pretty respectable for BYU is suppose

vegas guey

We beat a team on the road that was universally considered as good and a sure loss for us

2FarGone

11:25am

An offense averaging 44 pts/game. We held them to 15. AT HOME!

It seemed like O line played pretty well. QB and RBs didn’t take full advantage.

I think they'll win 3-4 more games this year. So 5-7 or 6-6.

NOCAL_YFAN

A lot of toss up games on their remaining schedule. I see them going 7-5.

gwalker

We should not ignore the fact that BYU has almost never had a good year

SnickSnack

11:12am

Yes. And my point is we have had QBs that didn't look very good at this stage

It's a fair point but wrought with risk. Sure if Jake develops, could he be

I tend to think of John Beck. Had a really rough first 2 years in the program

With Beck you saw flashes of why he could be great though

I’ve seen plenty of flashes from Retzlaff. He has a strong arm. Very strong arm.

Very strong arm lol good one

Sarkisian was 7-4 his jr year with a 65% completion percentage and 150 passer

kimdaddy35

11:15am

What was he after the first two games? I remember him lining up over the guard

gwalker

11:16am

That would make me laugh. I'll have to look it up.

kimdaddy35

11:19am

First two games for Sark in '95 - Pass Efficiency of 136 and 126. Both losses.

gwalker

11:21am

He threw for over 300 yards in both games it looks like.

11:23am

FWIW, Sark's passing yards came in the 2nd half when BYU was down by 3+ scores.

in his first game, sark had an efficiency rating of 134.91. That would be

Don't misunderstand me. I'm not trying to say Retzlaff is as good as Sark. I'm

in 1995 Sark completed 65% of his passes for 9 yards per attempt

Both of those games were much better than what Retzlaff just had and he has

I guarantee you'd have been ripping Sark after a scoring output of 12

Maybe so. But I don't think that is his ceiling.
