Not hating on Retzlaff…

Isn’t he like one of the top QBs in the country on big time throws though?

Best TV setup for an upstairs game room

The easy answer is:

#1 (because of the light during the day). Projectors and sunlight don't mix well

Poppinga got a lotta heat from fans during the first couple games

Maybe someone can catch it and just hand it off to Kingston from now on

Whitt hates BYU cause his dad got fired. Smith loves BYU cause they paid his dad

Kyle must have taken it harder than Fred

cougarblue

Fred was fired at Utah - was he ever fired from BYU? I hadn't heard that.

Eddie

Do we know that Kyle still detests BYU?

Pac-12 strikes out with Memphis, Tulane and USF

Art Director

Travel cost was probably the deciding factor there.

UNLV, Air Force, UTSA, Utah State & Gonzaga

Pretty bad when a P5 conference can’t get Memphis, Tulane, and USF to join! 😂

i mean, it's no longer a P5.

Mayor of Cougartown

don't those schools know Pac-12 is definitely a p-4?!

Cougarclaw

I was sooo looking forward to USF (in FLORIDA) in the PACIFIC conf

Xenon

12:30pm

They are on the West Coast ...

Art Director

12:31pm

Makes sense for the AAC to stick together

RenoCoug

12:30pm

Why not go after Utah and Arizona State. They both loved the PAC12 and

Brigham

12:33pm

Sounds like a good thing for Utah State if that is the case.

Blue for Life

12:34pm

Big mistake for Memphis. They could lay claim as a quasi-power conference

Doogal McCougar

I am susceptible today to irrational exuberance

Florwood

The beauty of the Big-12 is that nobody is elite....

Doesn’t the stadium only hold like 5k people?

No thank you.

Those red zone runs of Moa had me remembering Harvey Unga getting low

jre85

12:21pm

It's a huge advantage having a back who can run through defenders to pick up 3-5 yards on a play that should have been

dilbert

12:26pm

is it weird that only non-P5 schools have scored touchdowns on us this year?

It's A Bowling Ball

12:20pm

I got the impression that the defense was pretty vanilla vs Wyoming

BYU Fan

12:22pm

Wyoming's touchdowns were aided by phantom penalties.

dYrtbYkerYder

12:32pm

I think given how good we are expected to be style points were less import than

BaseCoug

They got the most reps against 2nd and 3rd team defenders and were the

One came in garbage time against Wyoming. I think the other Wyoming one

bythenumbers

12:29pm

There’s a reason why SMU and Kansas State coaches were surprised by the defenses we played

JOPE

12:33pm

I know the game is on FS1, do we know who is doing the play by play and color

Peanut

12:16pm

I wish they could hire RGIII just for this game. Chase is on the Case!

The Chief

12:17pm

I was legitimately sad he got canned

LSUcougar92

12:24pm

They will be on a main Fox broadcast more than likely. Probably Colorado/UCF. But you never know.

Knee Brace

12:17pm

isn't that usually Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt?

Peanut

12:24pm

They're on the Fox noon game. Benetti/Huard have typically taken the follow-up game.

Knee Brace

12:25pm

EST this is the Fox noon game.

Florwood

12:26pm

No, we're on FS1.

Knee Brace

12:26pm

You’re right, I bet we get Tim Brando and Devin Gardner, not my favorite team.

Peanut

12:30pm

I just hope it's not Petros.

Knee Brace

12:34pm

Any chance the Utah game will be a night game? Asking for a friend..

Mr. Rumsfield

A night game at RES is spooky

Idacoug

Apparently no one wants to admit or talk about how absolutely ridiculous it was.

NOW IS THE TIME TO STAKE YOUR CLAIM!!! Which player on our roster is the most underrated? Pick your man. The premiss

HarlemCoug Intervention Needed

12:13pm

Darius Lassiter

Doogal McCougar

12:16pm

Batty. I know, he's highly rated among fans, but I'd say still not highly enough

tony

12:16pm

Sione Moa, but I suspect he won't be underrated for very long.

BlueFever

12:17pm

Pick your secondary starter

darkcoug

12:18pm

My pick is Robinson.

HarlemCoug

12:21pm

The safeties... last year that group was a disaster and this year it seems to be one of the biggest strengths

According to all the seasons of ncaa25 ive played - Therrian Alexander

The Jay Hill rope-a-dope strategy!

It's probably a lot of fun to play for Jay Hill

DataMouth

12:10pm

I think we are better than Baylor, but I worry about the team coming off of

Samsonite

12:09pm

We need to come out fast and get a two score lead. They’ll quit if we do that

Beggar

12:09pm

This is a quasi-rivalry game, neither team are going to quit.

OnEMoReTrY

12:10pm

I'd say it's a burgeoning rivalry. And I agree that neither will quit

Moab Rising

12:13pm

And that would force them out of their game plan

Bluforever

12:11pm

Baylor got down 23-0 versus U of U and came back and lost 23-12. I expect a

After what happened to them at Colorado they’ll quit

Aranda will be coaching for his life. I expect a slugfest that will come down to

bigbossbyu

Kalani’s teams seem to start strong and fade big time. I hope that changes.

Idacoug

12:12pm

That's what I'm worried about also...

Coug

12:12pm

We need LJ Martin back big time. Our running game would help

gopman

12:19pm

Baylor is going to be the toughest defense we face until UCF and Utah...

I'm expecting us to lay a big fat egg in the game. I hope this year's team

per the PFF player ratings show BYU O-linemen only got beat 6 times on Saturday in pass protection

I wonder if BYU prioritizes pass protection or run blocking.

Kaladin

No but God knows.

Genghis Spreads

12:12pm

They raised the goal to $40,000 because of the reaction Saturday night. I'm guessing it's more than BYU fans, but BYU

PJMort

12:12pm

nobody should react negatively to the raising of the goal. What a great thing

Somehow, Three Yewts in a Basement will make this about Utah

This is all about the fans...

Heinz57

If BYU can’t beat Baylor this week

BYUvermont

12:03pm

And that should be okay. A lot of Saturday's luster was more than our team's ready for right now, probably.

SinkingQuffa

12:05pm

Baylor was picked right above us at the beginning of the year in the conference race

2FarGone

12:07pm

Why are you more concerned about the start time than that it’s an away game?

ldssdl

12:10pm

We play horribly in morning games, home or away.

2FarGone

Everyone set their watches forward eight hours. Problem solved!

Crowgar

I just don't want the team to get weird somehow and screw up the game.

BlueFever

12:11pm

Not really

JuicyJam

Won't take any luster off for me.

Regardless of what the depth chart says, that'll bear itself out on the field once again, you can be sure.

Yep. Not a position where starting really matters all that much.

I wouldn't expect LJ back until the Arizona Game on October 12.
