Taysom Hill's best plays from 3 TD game vs Browns

Zenoch All-American

4:35pm

Death, taxes, and Craig Smith losing away from home

provoprodigy

4:34pm

As Coach Mora once famously said, “don’t blame that game on the defense.”

Captain Rex

4:33pm

Yup. And 7 of the 17 came on a 5 yard field.

CasualFan

4:34pm

Love Jake, but he played pretty poorly at times last night. His throws have been

kansascougar

4:35pm

BYU's offense was a good defense while being a piss poor offense last night.

foofcoug

4:35pm

The only real problem was not scoring TDs in the red zone

CasualFan

4:38pm

Much of this has to do w/ the offense keeping them off the field. Unfortunately,

Benfica1

4:36pm

It’s interesting to see these popping up after the Tyson fight Friday. It seems that some were alluding to this after.

ToasterChive All-American

4:31pm

A Wilson threw a touchdown pass to Caleb Lohner for the Utes yesterday.

TheMoose

4:29pm

Ike or Isaac?

BYUtka

4:33pm

Only Ike did well yesterday.

TwinsRight

4:34pm

We need to be ready for the environment and intensity at ASU

truecougster

4:29pm

I personally think the Kansas game was a huge wakeup call to the players.

Cosmo Kramer

4:35pm

I think a lot of local BYU fans bought a lot of tickets a long time ago.

paulb

4:38pm

Just want to say that LES is a remarkably good venue for college football.

myfriendryan

4:29pm

If you were forced to take a chance on a new OC and couldn't go after an established P4 OC, who would it be?

RE: Andy Reid

foofcoug

Kellen Moore, Andy Reid, or Darrell Bevell. Anyone else I’ll be disappointed

cougaman

4:32pm

Unless someone is available I don't

BYU71

4:32pm

Has Simmons ever called plays? I don't think so.

dYrtbYkerYder

4:36pm

Hence the qualifier in the question.

foofcoug

4:38pm

Joe Craddock, current OC at Tulane

Coug

4:38pm

Ok, what are the scenarios for us to get to the conference championship?

Lefty24

4:26pm

If we don’t win out. We need two of the three to drop one more game.

Tuskaloosa Cougar

4:30pm

Can someone ask if Kalani has hit his ceiling as HC and still want him to stay

Cosmo Kramer

4:26pm

Caleb Lohner

Kougrage

4:26pm

Thanks for letting us know about this.

zsmooth

4:33pm

My day is complete knowing this.

CougarGuy84

4:35pm

Utes have a very not so bright basketball team

gurt

4:26pm

And fanbase

Carnac

4:28pm

Jennings for president! Back to back spectacular plays! Niners take the lead!

paulb

4:25pm

Jennings just went full beast right there to get the 1st.

JC6

4:25pm

The amount of basketball coaches is incredible. More coaches than players.

idcougarfan

4:22pm

Get used to it. We are in PROvo.

JohnnyC

4:24pm

Watching us play yesterday I see more hype than substance so far

Durden

4:27pm

TA has no rushing touches for Falcons today, just on reception. Is he hurt? No interest in them otherwise

CLCougar Intervention Needed

4:21pm

That's why they are losing.

BYUtka

4:25pm

Time to bring him home:

mjmill All-American

4:19pm

Go check his Syracuse offense last year and get back with us.

ballen

4:21pm

I do think we could use a full time QB Coach.

dYrtbYkerYder

4:21pm

I don’t understand having a full time TE coach but not a full time QB coach

ldssdl

4:33pm

^^This. More revenue next year should help with paying coaches

Reasonable1

4:35pm

He has a really athletic QB

Coug

4:25pm

Here are some good points from another CBer

Benfica1

4:28pm

It is good to have Bronco coaching again and filling a staff with BYU guys.

CasualFan

4:33pm

He like the son I might have known....

Ted Lasso

4:34pm

Bring me joy

TwinsRight

4:36pm

Taysom already has two sons, thinking about the QB situation in 20 years...

CougfromtheSouth

4:19pm

With BYU luck, they will likely be into music and the arts.

JohnnyC

4:23pm

or choose Stanford.

Benfica1

Can someone who knows more about football explain the strategy behind running

BaseCoug

I think the O was just taking what the defense was giving them. I think we took

They hoped to end the game in time to observe the Sabbath.

What coaches are inherently great motivators, active or not? Are the great

Cosmo Kramer

I'm old enough to remember when 35 points was a good half rather than 2 complete games.

foofcoug Wonder what the character limi

4:11pm

The old days of the WAC

Carnac

4:33pm

Chiefs have been losing at halftime and/or second half to virtually every team

Goliath

4:08pm

Following the byu plan. Luck runs out.

GfB

4:10pm

Chiefs make their own luck.

MarylandFan

4:14pm

Surviving not thriving

Archaea

4:14pm

Perhaps that is by design. Just “practicing” stuff until the 4th qtr when it counts.

valcorger

4:20pm

Switching on defense seems to be leaving lanes open in the key for layups

Don Carlton

4:06pm

I’m just getting around to watching yesterday’s game of course.

Don Carlton

4:07pm

That is because they aren’t switching fast enough

Archaea

4:10pm

That’s what they’re saying on the broadcast. Either way the big guys often

Don Carlton

4:12pm

You gotta switch faster and recognize the peel

Archaea

4:13pm

Defense seems bad. Bigs way out of position. Going to bite us in conference play

cruoti

4:12pm

Still several games to get better before conference

Archaea

4:13pm

KY said something postgame yesterday that may partially explain this

AustinCougar

4:15pm

I love how early season losses are better than late season losses. SMU and BSU

dallasbyu

LeftOfNormal

Signed, Notre Dame to bad FCS at home.

valcorger

4:21pm

We've only lost to the team that just beat the #6 team in the country.

BYUtka

4:27pm

As it should be

Goliath

4:07pm

I'd go even further. I think CFP committee should factor in last 6 games of 2023

MarylandFan

4:20pm

That is part of it. BSU's loss is to the #1 team rather than a 3-6 team on your home field. Part of it is also how

Not that the rankings are made this way, but both those teams would beat us.

N8Dawg

4:09pm

Interesting...pretty sure we beat one of those teams this year. Weird.

coug10278

4:10pm

SMU would beat us now if we played them.

N8Dawg

4:13pm

AP doesn’t matter. We will see how the committee sees things on Tuesday.

allaboutthegainz

If we look at Miami and how far they fell after their loss

And then our guy all by himself couldn’t fall on it or pick it up.

paulb

2020 gives me some hope that we can close out the season strong.

Shinshin

Falcons got screwed on that call. No way it should have been overturned.

cougaman

They're even more screwed on the scoreboard now

Belboz

3:55pm

Yeah, they had a chance to get some momentum, but ends up getting 7 the other

cougaman

And I wonder how different it would be if Pitts would get targeted more

There's a catch for Pitts.. I set that up

Colorado -2.5 vs Kansas

Fairways18

3:51pm

Kansas is at home

2FarGone

3:52pm

Is that at KU?

fulano

3:52pm

Yes

2FarGone

3:53pm

Does KU winning that help us at all if we lose to ASU?

allaboutthegainz

4:00pm

Yes. If we end up in a 3 way tie with them and ASU, we’re in over CU

TouchdownCougars

4:02pm

Which also means we want ISU to lose again

TouchdownCougars

4:03pm

Like the PFF guys keep saying, Kansas is a good team with a bad record

Projectoor

4:07pm

Colorado will win that by 2 TD's minimum. They are playing great football right now

Coug

You sure?

Carnac

And Coach Prime plays to win, not "not-to-lose". We stopped playing to win in

AF Cougar

Did I walk into the wrong place? Are we not 9-1?

Garn

3:50pm

We just blew our biggest chance in decades

dtownCoug

3:51pm

We didn’t blow it. Just made it a little harder.

cougarfanatic

3:52pm

Who’s we?

Garn

3:52pm

The same we you referenced in your question.

dtownCoug

4:02pm

The record is great. Are you OK with

BYU71

3:55pm

This should not be such a hard concept to get. Especially with preseason

paulb

Yeah. It’s not like we lost on the road to a good team. Lost at home to mediocre

Cosmo Kramer

4:29pm

Has Kalani hit his ceiling as a coach? Should have won the game, but the

Cosmo Kramer

3:43pm

His ceiling is as high as byu is willing to pay for coordinators…

conetah

3:44pm

And to clarify, paying the same coordinator more won’t make him better.

bluecougar1985

3:47pm

This point has been lost on BYU at times. And on Coaches.

Madam Pattirini

4:31pm

No, but A-Rod may have.

Yucatan

…Super Bowl by now!!!

niqmadu

3:44pm

His ceiling being right in competition for a conference title

CasualFan

Can't keep his players motivated, all the way to the end.

Cosmo Kramer

Horrible take

JKLCoug

3:51pm

Could be, that's why I asked the question.

Cosmo Kramer

3:52pm

Nope. Try again.

gopman

3:53pm

Bronco had a ceiling, and I was good with that. Many double digit win seasons,

Cosmo Kramer

3:55pm

Bronco had one double digit season in his last 6

donnerstag

4:18pm

I didn't look it up, I remember having more ten win seasons than not.

Cosmo Kramer

4:20pm

That (among others) has been an issue his entire tenure.

Which is the norm for 97.5% of coaches out there, and that's ok.

The TOP 25% of head coaches lose to multiple inferior opponents

gopman

Why is this panic? It's a legit question without feeling the need to fire him.

Cosmo Kramer

He hit his ceiling last year. It's all downhill from there

Belboz

Definitely. Time to fire him!

shoganai

Cosmo Kramer

Just a bad night. He must’ve been motivating enough to get them to 9-0.

CougarGuy84

I don't put much stock in coach or player speak. I think the players

GSwarriorcoug

If so, it's probably among the ceilings of the best coaches in college football

Spindash

That is a well thought out answer. I agree with that.

Cosmo Kramer

4:00pm

well, he has blown through whatever ceiling this team should’ve accomplished this year

JOPE

That is true. They could have easily lost the OSU game and the Utah game.
