One thing Jake Retzlaf could do to vastly improve this offense-- hand the ball to a healthy LJ Martin.

Seems like the one in Payson is large enough to handle it.

kccougar

Yeah the Payson temple is pretty close to SF

Not the distance, it is the growth and availability. Sometimes you are a week

Can someone explain a hip drop tackle

See Utah St vs BYU QBs

Grab on, kick your legs out from under yourself, and let gravity do the rest.

POLL: Do you agree with BYU's chosen strategy of using 4th down more often than anyone else in the nation?

FWIW, I'm personally undecided on this topic until I see more data.

paulb

Numbers look good early this year, but I expect the success rate to drop significantly as the season progresses

kccougar

3:32pm

Only two teams exceeded 80% conversions on 4th down last year

Indy Coug

3:33pm

I put no. I don’t think there is enough data to always go for it on 4th.

Mathew

Not really. I think we left points on the board at SMU in a game where points

Find some salt to take with this - my experience is that you don't expose or cut

BlueTooth

Where the dirt has exposed the roots, you can see that there is a massive root going straight down under the tree...

I wouldn’t cut off anything that still penetrates the soil.

Why not build a retaining wall around it? Redirect the wash around it.

BYU is 3-0 speaks for itself.

Answer

Icelandic Cougar

3:00pm

Not TDs. Pass attempts.

kccougar

3:01pm

Sorry. I messed up my poll question. Should be 3 interceptions per 100 pass attempts was the NCAA average.

kccougar

3:03pm

Jake Retzlaff has a 3.2% INT%, 33rd highest in college football.
