POLL: After having played 3 games how has BYU performed in your eyes?

Cougar TD

3:41pm

Anyone who says we haven't overperformed is crazy. We've beat the spread by

Feeling pretty good about this prediction

I like our chances on Saturday. The students go crazy at late night games. I was

Windward_Coug

3:36pm

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

PJMort All-American

3:34pm

That would be great but our top 6 rushers are averaging over 4.2 yds/carry and we're averaging 151 yds/game so far.

ManicBlue

3:45pm

Temple coming to spanish fork?

PabloSanchezz

3:33pm

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

kccougar

3:35pm

Yeah the Payson temple is pretty close to SF

WJCougar

3:35pm

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

Ycrazy

3:37pm

I've never been - I wonder how busy it is.

kccougar

3:37pm

Sessions are generally all the way full when I go. I do go on the weekends

Russell Feathers

3:41pm

In 20 years that probably won’t be the case

puntersarepeople

3:41pm

That has been the rumor in Mapleton for a while that they would build a temple

Yeah i've had the same experience. And factoring in Salem growth, it's likely

Can someone explain a hip drop tackle

OU Cougar

3:29pm

See Utah St vs BYU QBs

Tare

3:30pm

You grab someone around the waist and throw your weight into their knees

Mostlyaccurate

3:32pm

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

Corn Pop

3:32pm

Probably less likely to be called if you land with your body weight on ground

Tricky

3:41pm

Examples here

Thrill

3:32pm

Most of those actually are NOT hip drop tackles.

Eddie

3:35pm

I changed the video after seeing that many examples were not hip drop.

Thrill

3:40pm

Ha! Your 2nd video is the one in my post below. 😉

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

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

3:29pm

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

Indy Coug

3:29pm

That highschool who never kicks man. You can't about without the ball. Don't

paulb

3:30pm

I strongly disagree with the "never kick" philosophy

Indy Coug

3:31pm

RE: I strongly disagree with the "never kick" philosophy

paulb

3:34pm

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

3:32pm

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

NOCAL_YFAN

3:36pm

The biggest complaint I have about A-Rod - more than running option to the short

Iron Coug

3:37pm

Even with the added .800 conversion rate on 4th down, that still only brings the

foofcoug

3:38pm

(11 3rd down conversions + 8 4th down conversions) / (39 3rd downs) = 1st downs 48.7% of the time

Indy Coug

3:40pm

Given that we've converted on 8/10. I'd say we're doing it right so far.

ManicBlue

3:39pm

I'm extremely conservative and hate risk. I like punting on 4th down

Belboz

3:43pm

I wish BYU's chosen strategy was to convert 3rd downs more often than just once

BYU fans can have an influence on the game Saturday night. I'm sad that I will not be there.

kccougar VABL

Does KSU play in any tough venues....wonder how they will respond.

WJCougar

3:22pm

Their fans were mentioning that as a concern

Well, we've always known that some humans talk out of their anus.

Eddie

3:12pm

That reminds me of one of my companions, Elder Perry.

Belboz

I typically got along well with all of my companions, but i think he tired

I just told someone 20 minutes ago I’d take the Falcons +5.5

that's probably not a bad bet.

Belboz

3:14pm

So the big news last week was that WSU & OSU joined the MWC?

Lifi

3:07pm

And WSU beat the Big 10 Huskies

BYUBandfan

3:10pm

And kicked every one besides sdsu, csu, Fresno and Boise out.

Ok CB arborist... I have a question...

Coug Texan

3:03pm

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

BlueTooth

3:19pm

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

Coug

3:23pm

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

Brisco

3:22pm

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

blueaussie

3:25pm

We would have to build a significate wall... there are other area's really impacted by the storms from May and June...

POLL: Last year the average pass-to-interception ratio was 3:1. Where does Jake Retzlaff stack up so far this season?

BYU is 3-0 speaks for itself.

OPINIONS

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.
