Recruiting has to get better in the trenches. It's just not good enough

TNT

Agree

This class is one of the best ever for o-line. It is getting better.

D line though. We have no depth there and most anyone who plays is graduating

Didn’t we just flip a couple of 4 star OLs?

Recruiting has to get better everywhere.

You mean the DL. I’m happy with the OL recruiting

Need some interior d lineman

I suspect Hill and Sione have more than Vete coming.

We need to wait years for new recruits to play, but they're coming

7:34pm

He pushed off, full extension of his arms etc..

crimedog

7:35pm

Wasn’t that right in front of the official?

Tuskaloosa Cougar

7:38pm

Probably the most egregious push off iv’e seen in any BYU game this year

Big12Yfan

7:38pm

It was bad. They also had a WR line up in the neutral zone. We had clear LOS, and line judge was even on the line

GoodBetterBestBYU

7:41pm

It didn’t help only having 10 guys out on the field on the TD.

Magneto

7:42pm

Refs did not want to make calls. How many calls that weren’t false start or

cougaman

7:44pm

They were cold and wanted to get off the field. 6 minute tv timeouts didn’t help.

GoodBetterBestBYU

7:48pm

The positive is, of course, that at least BYU beat Utah

TNT

7:33pm

You can never that away from them.

Plantagenet

7:36pm

Can never what?

TNT

7:38pm

never that away from them

kalifi

Oh. Gotcha. TNT thought he misread it at first

TNT

7:40pm

Can never steal that game which they had already won.

Hawk in the 303

7:42pm

Seriously it makes Kansas loss not sting. It’s a bummer but at least beat Utah.

Jay_L

7:47pm

Well makes it sting not quite as bad. But it still stings

TNT

7:48pm

The defense played well the 2nd half. However….

DizzyDean

7:33pm

If Robinson had just kicked the ball out the back of the EZ it's BYU ball right?

BlueVU

Safety

Uno Doctoro

7:35pm

Dang... Thought it'd be a touch back. But yeah, I think you're right.

BlueVU

7:36pm

If he is going to kick it. Which he shouldn't. He could kick it out of bounds.

JuicyJam

7:37pm

He did the right thing. Just didn’t do it right. It is a drill DB’s do since pre

He should have just slowed down and fell on it instead of dive. I wonder if they

7:49pm

USC just flipped a 5 star QB recruit away from Texas A&M...I guess we can speculate whether that impacts Ryder Lyons

CLCougar Intervention Needed

7:32pm

No, because Ryder is a mission first, so they are essentially different classes.

Rise Against

7:33pm

It won’t impact him. Lyons won’t be in a school until 2028.

RootieBoy

7:33pm

Because a separate 5-star WB recruit just decommitted from USC, probably for UGA

garyfan

7:41pm

Watching the game...I think the problem is still the Oline. Retzlaff takes a hit

Blueto

7:25pm

I couldn’t focus on whether Pay looked back to form or if or Jatta did well? Bad angle from our seats.

GoodBetterBestBYU

7:28pm

I noticed Etienne struggled more than usual last night

I'mBatman

7:29pm

They moved Etienne, right? Maybe that had something to do with it.

blueaussie

7:31pm

That has everything to do with it

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

They ran him up the middle on called QB runs where he got pounded...roll him

7:44pm

To my casual eyes, the O line seemed to absolutely take a step backward against

Polecat

7:31pm

Their D is not very good either

TNT

7:32pm

They have solid DBS, I mean they have Kobe Bryant! Run D not good. Should have run off tackle more

GoodBetterBestBYU

Losing a starting tackle can do that.

This is a good point. They are now working with a patchwork line of

JohnnyComeLately

This is true. The two fumbles vs Utah on top of mind. Bounced right back to us.

Cougs2012

The problem may run deeper than 1, 2, 3, or 4 plays.

thirdgencoug

7:10pm

Red zone flipped from a strength to a weakness. Chase said they struggled in practice, but believes they’ll fix it

GoodBetterBestBYU

7:20pm

Of course. 100%. Yet despite this, it’s reasonable to see we still could have
