Retzlaff sure struggled.

That was JR’s worst game since SMU. Yeah, much of that was due to pressure, but he was just off-target all night long - even without pressure.

So many bad throws to open receivers. Even completions were thrown in the dirt.

Some poor decision to throw into tight coverage, with open field to run.

6 tipped passes.

He looked rattled.

We need him to have a strong bounce back this week.

Retzlaff sure struggled.

Doubt we would face a defense like that before the playoff

Nov 10, 2:16pm

BYU has relied on our aggressive defense to get turnovers and short fields

Bobmarleyjr

Nov 10, 6:38pm

He will. Max beat Utah twice and didn’t put up his best work.

NYCougz

Nov 10, 2:16pm

Yeah, he did just enough to beat them twice...

Jericho

Nov 10, 2:20pm

Yep. And in ugly games that is what you need to do.

Best work is a W

His oc didn't do him any favors

Clock management was the biggest frustration.

The Y's Insider

Nov 10, 2:19pm

Yep that bothered me way more than the play calling.

NYCougz

Nov 10, 2:25pm

The inane subbing has got to go. SIMPLIFY!!!

cajuncoug

Nov 10, 9:23pm

The OL and RB pass blocking didn’t do him any favors.

Reasonable1

Nov 10, 2:24pm

This he had very little protection

baldcoug74

Nov 10, 6:27pm

He led a game winning drive. Legendary. He

GoodBetterBestBYU

Nov 10, 2:35pm

This….improved play calling could have helped him.

Coug98

His OC was garbage!!

Cnation

4 scoring drives in hostile environment where we haven’t won since my youngest was born…

GoodBetterBestBYU

Nov 10, 7:21pm

Point still stands. He had a terrible game. They didn’t know what they were doin

Cnation

Nov 10, 9:40pm

Thankfully, Jake has proven time and time again that he doesn’t stay down long

LeonMarek

Nov 10, 2:18pm

His and teams mental toughness is apparent. More so than CB 🙂

GoodBetterBestBYU

Nov 10, 7:19pm

That is the beauty of pressure. It speeds things up so even on plays they arent

Zak

Nov 10, 2:18pm

No QBs play well against U, see Caleb Williams

GoodBetterBestBYU

Nov 10, 2:19pm

His reluctance to take off running makes me think they coached him not to

MarylandFan

Nov 10, 2:20pm

IMO you get a pass in the Utah game. And no interceptions.

bythenumbers

Nov 10, 2:21pm

Agreed

The Y's Insider

Nov 10, 2:24pm

Whitt does this to 1st time qbs in the rivalry. The fact we didn’t turn it over

CougGolf

Nov 10, 2:24pm

Utah has one of the best defenses in the NCAA. Top 10 easily.

AltTabbins

Nov 10, 2:33pm

The Online didn't help

Real Men Wear Blue

Really proud of how they performed on those four scoring drives against

GoodBetterBestBYU

Nov 10, 3:44pm

I think connner pay changes this game big time

Pretorian

Nov 10, 6:49pm

Hope he’s in shape

GoodBetterBestBYU

Nov 10, 7:21pm

Amazing what pressure does to a QB

SUAVO

Nov 10, 3:41pm

Scally sure talked to him for a bit after game. Curious what it was about

Jagger

Nov 10, 3:44pm

That caught my eye too. Seemed like a pretty cool response by him after…

icecougar

Nov 10, 9:07pm

RES is right up there as the toughest place to play (especially when you’re BYU)

Aircooled

Nov 10, 3:56pm

He will not see another D or environment like that until the CFP

Pretorian

Nov 10, 3:59pm

Nobody really had a great game, especially coaches. Play calling and clock

Nov 10, 4:02pm

2 worst ones were the sliding completion to Lassiter (I really wanted to see

boctabulous

Nov 10, 4:06pm

I'll take 0 turnovers and clutch plays. We have fantastic receivers too.

Brandoblueblood

Nov 10, 4:16pm

Yes and acknowledge 4 scoring drives in the face of a relentless D that always has BYUs number, with catastrophic plays

GoodBetterBestBYU

Nov 10, 4:24pm

They made some amazingly difficult catches

icecougar

Nov 10, 9:08pm

So glad we’ve recruited talented WRs

GoodBetterBestBYU

Nov 10, 9:21pm

Utah’s tough defense and the loudest most hostile crowd he has played against

Nagurski

Nov 10, 4:31pm

Gave me a Max Hall vs Utah vibe. Hall always struggled vs Utah but in the end…

icecougar

Nov 10, 4:42pm

Don’t forget Lassiter drop

kiyoshige

Nov 10, 4:45pm

Communication was off, and all those subs seemed the throw them off their rhythm

He led the game winning drive to beat Utah at RES. Put some respect on his name.

BYUFan2010

Nov 10, 5:42pm

We’ve seen the best of Retzlaff this season, but he’s going to struggle against good defenses mostly because of his bad

crm48

Nov 10, 5:53pm

Super impressed w/ his composure. Sure he was under pressure. More blocking

HeyU

Nov 10, 6:13pm

Their defense is elite. Plus, I honestly think he didn’t expect that intensity

Your Royal Blueness

Nov 10, 6:15pm

I think the low in the grass completions were supposed to be low on purpose

2FarGone

Nov 10, 6:16pm

This hasn't always been the case in the past, but in this game I agree

bythenumbers

Nov 10, 9:22pm

Our RBs did Jake no favors. I distinctly remember our one of the tips was due to

babycarrot

Nov 10, 6:41pm

They had some success between the tackles but somehow decided off tackle

Bobmarleyjr

Tanuvasa shut down the middle in the 2nd half

GoodBetterBestBYU

Nov 10, 7:17pm

Keim was beaten all night in pass pro too

cajuncoug

Nov 10, 9:21pm

Now Jake knows how the other team esp qb feels.

Ripliancum

Nov 10, 7:09pm

OLine didn't do him any favors either.

wilsdad

Nov 10, 7:09pm

Everything but special teams and Second half D struggled. But we won!

Iki_Balam

Nov 10, 7:09pm

Didn’t we shut them out in the 2nd half and held them to no points on 2 short fields?

GoodBetterBestBYU

Nov 10, 7:23pm

Yes, and we also didnt anticipate Rose would be a good QB, so that too.

Iki_Balam

Nov 10, 10:12pm

That was a top 5 defense

runningryan

Nov 10, 9:01pm

It’s a team issue as much as it was a Jake issue

Good room for improvement to work on
