I can't wait for The Cut this week

So when I do homework, I often kind of wait until close to the deadline to get

BaseCoug

7:34am

Rewatching the muffed punt. What happened?? Why even touch it?

Warner

7:32am

It hit Johnson. We had to try to recover it.

Six Foot Seven

7:33am

Landed on our DBs head.

JoeExotic

7:33am

It hit are guy accidentally

canuckchuck

7:33am

It hit him in the head. He was playing defense since the QB punted.

dtownCoug

7:33am

Evan Johnson was more focused on the receiver than the ball

McMax

7:34am

It hit our defender in the back of his helmet and thus was a live ball

Greg4BYU

7:34am

It hit the BYU player in the helmet. As soon as we saw punt, everyone should

Stocktonblues

7:34am

Last night was on Retzlaff. Plain and simple. We've been riding his magic

IronPotato

7:32am

It’s on the offense and ARod. You have to get your playmakers involved more.

Hawk Talons

7:34am

What’s happened to our confidence the last two games?

McMax

7:31am

We just have to watch the film, love one another

byuTX

7:31am

It's like A ROD was thrown into the spokes of our bicycle wheel and sent us over the handlebars

foofcoug

7:32am

Defense cant score 14 points every game for us. It was creating overconfidence

Das_Countach

7:34am

I can’t stop thinking about how we only scored 13 points against KU 😂

DanSmith

7:30am

With something like 25 first downs. Zero imagination in the play calling.

dtownCoug

7:31am

That’s what keeps going through my head as well

Kolipoki

7:31am

Threw an interception in the end zone and gave away a TD on a surprise punt

donnerstag

7:33am

Unrelated to the game (haha, for real though) I had a panic attack last night

BaseCoug

7:30am

I’ve never had a panic attack. But I have experienced guilt and regret.

Hawk Talons

7:32am

I woke up so pissed. Kansas derailed our entire season. ARod inability to call a

Magneto

7:30am

Definitely hurts but hard not to feel gratitude that we even made it this far

ocmyhome

7:32am

That was the game we needed to win. Then the ASU game would’ve been okay to lose

Magneto

7:34am

Should have locked your heart.

IronPotato

7:33am

Any hope of a special season all comes down to playing at 8-2 ASU.

ldssdl

7:28am

BYU has only been a P4 for 2 seasons

donnerstag

They don't know, but they about to find out. Thirteen points is all we'll put out. -Arod, 11/16/2024

BYU fans burning their fiesta bowl tickets (that they bought from Utah fans)

BYU's CCG chances, ahead of Saturdays impending boat race in the city

Crazy Joe Davola

7:27am

So what are the theories here regarding plays to end the 2nd and 4th quarters. Were they audibled or called as such?

Crazy Joe Davola Intervention Needed

7:25am

You know what, thinking about it. . . We control our own destiny w/better SOS

Zoobieman

7:24am

Jake multiple times this year - we had all the confidence in the World because this offense runs best in 2 minute drill.

foofcoug Wonder what the character limi

7:23am

With a good OC 2 minute drill wouldn’t be needed because they’re 2+ scores ahead

Das_Countach

7:27am

Also true.

foofcoug

7:29am

How this loss is viewed will depend on what happens the rest of the way

CardstockCoug

7:23am

ASU looks locked in. We better be ready.

IronPotato

7:23am

Stating the obvious. Will require our best game of year by all 3 phases to get W

Bluforever

7:24am

This team has been ready exactly one time in the last month. It’s not looking good

byuTX

7:30am

Do you think MOV this season affected the media’s perception of us

Warner

7:22am

The offense has scored 1 TD in each of the last 2 games…they are pretenders.

idcougarfan

7:24am

There’s almost no statistic that would label us a contender outside of TO margin

Pepe

7:30am

Playing well at the right time: I think many of us felt, even before the game, that ASU and Col appear to be the best 2

Crazy Joe Davola Intervention Needed

7:19am

Yep. Blowing our 1 game Big 12 lead against 3-6 Kansas at home likely cost BYU

ldssdl

7:21am

I can’t remember a single pass to a WR in the end zone all night. Am I wrong?

dtownCoug

7:17am

Well, there was one…

Warner

7:18am

That was to a slow TE.

dtownCoug

7:21am

Lassiter might as well have been in the end zone twice on deep balls.

rad dawg

7:20am

Jake’s long ball accuracy has always been bad. In previous games, he’s been bailed out by great WR play.

letthewookieewin

7:26am

3/10 on third down. Arods inability to convert was always going to catch up

rad dawg

7:17am

We were told that is actually a good thing though

And some nerds actually believed it which is crazy

Das_Countach

7:24am

Does a 2 loss CU get a bye over a 1 loss BSU? I think they do

Warner

7:16am

Yes

Turd Ferguson

7:27am

In the end, if you cant beat ASU at their place, you were fixin to embaress yourselves vs Col

Crazy Joe Davola Intervention Needed

7:16am

Exactly right. Either you go earn your spot in the CCG or you don’t go.

CPAcoug87

7:17am

This is true

Goliath

7:17am

Defense played lights out. Kansas scored on the opening drive after a 30 yard

Hambone

7:16am

Only complaint about defense is 3rd and 4th & long. But in the long run, getting the ball back to Arod wouldn't have

foofcoug

7:19am

I don't get why Holmoe didn't get in front of the press about that blatant PI?

jacare

7:21am

Was the crowd flat? Seemed like no energy on TV

Gustav

7:15am

Not as flat as the team. Hard to get energy when there is little to cheer about

cougaman

7:15am

The crowd caused at least 2 penalties by KU’s offense. But the offense gave them

ldssdl

7:17am

The offense scored 13 points. The crowd was fine.

idcougarfan

There was nothing to cheer for

cougaman

Any updates on Jake’s left shoulder? He grabbed it multiple times in 1H

orrin7

Probably still hurting him from the end of the first half INT against Okie State where he tackled the guy and

foofcoug

7:15am

That pooch punt move is likely to become commonplace. Effective as a punt / play

oxcoug

7:07am

Seemed like our team wasn’t coached that it could happen. Which is frustrating

orrin7

7:09am

Yep. Average scouting would have shown that they can do that. They ran that play earlier in the season

Crazy Joe Davola

7:13am

Grateful for the loss. Especially to KU.

CountryBumpkin

7:06am

ASU is playing for a spot in the conference championship game. They will be motivated and are good.

LaserCoug

7:13am

Winner of BYU vs ASU is probably in the conference championship game

Powerbait DPM

7:16am

I’m not grateful, but it is a wake up call and ASU is very beatable.

What was the deal with the officials last night?

cougforever

7:05am

They missed some obvious calls, but didn’t lose us the game by a long shot.

CrimWalCoug All-American in practice

Remember earlier in the season when we made offense look effortless?

CycloneCoug

7:03am

Agreed. We took zero shots downfield in H2. And we just sat on the ball, even

dtownCoug

7:05am

Maybe Jake had bad long range accuracy from cold hands? Just speculating

No. The offense has been opportunistic all year long.

Shinshin

We averaged 5 YPC but went away from runs that were working. Jake was the issue.

Shinshin

7:07am

The delayed read up the middle was bad all night.

dtownCoug

7:20am

Teams are figuring out if you blitz Jake, his accuracy falls off of a cliff.

ldssdl

7:01am

Yep. Jake needs to get better when facing pressure

Adrielle

7:03am

And part of this is failure to pick up the blitz or needing more blockers

Shinshin

It doesn’t help all our RBs apparently suck at pass protection

It was QB play tonight. Plain and simple.

Ugh. The media is bring insanely disrespectful towards BYU.

Yiowa

6:52am

They deserve it. 13 points against Kansas is embarrassing.

idcougarfan

6:54am

As they should. That loss was a joke. Kansas is not good.

dtownCoug

BYU fans are saying worse things than that.

True

Yiowa

CycloneCoug

This is why I don’t understand how the team took is easy in practice last week.

ldssdl

BYU has struggled with similar quality teams all year

JoeExotic

7:07am

Not really. Kansas statistically was virtually identical with UCF.

ldssdl

UCF/KSU games are the exception this year

JoeExotic

7:20am

Speaking more broadly - Kalani teams often play to level of competition
