The Chase Roberts catch in the 4th was awesome. Not sure how the ball got there

IronPotato

7:49am

The analytics may say something different

JoeExotic

7:48am

It would be the most BYU thing ever to lose to Kansas and beat ASU.

flahargalingarg

7:47am

More like start 9-0 and then lose 4 straight to end the year.

idcougarfan

7:48am

Unless something miraculous happens this week in practice, it ain't gonna happen

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

Or let a win over Utah cause a 3 game losing streak.

Update on BYU Men’s Cross-Country recruiting.

CrimWalCoug All-American in practice

3 offensive touchdowns over the last 5 halves of football. Team has been living on borrowed time……

Plays that would’ve changed the outcome of the game.

Alright, who didn't wear their lucky shirts? SHOW YOURSELVES. cowards.

I spilled fry sauce on mine and had to put it in the washing machine

I wore mine, but covered it with a navy sweatshirt, which i plan to promptly burn

On the pooch kick, isn’t there a rule that during a punt, if the punter

ChiCityCoug

7:44am

We still had an easy opportunity to secure the football

Mr. Scoobs

7:46am

Agreed. But was frustrating to see. Batty even said he didn’t see the guy kick

ChiCityCoug

7:47am

9-1 is not time to call for coaches jobs.

kosmokramer

7:43am

It's always fine to call out obvious deficiencies even if they were covered up by other areas throughout the win streak.

foofcoug

7:45am

No, just a reminder that we still have some MWC level staff members in a P4 league

Crazy Joe Davola

7:46am

It’s also not the time to pile on the QB

donnerstag

Sucks to lose a very winnable game, but even good teams do that. Look at every

Shinshin

7:43am

Regarding the pooch punt. What's the PRIMARY intention?

Crazy Joe Davola Intervention Needed

7:41am

Primary reason is to pin them deep.

foofcoug

7:43am

Pin them deep or hope someone makes a mistake.

Coug

7:43am

The intent was to pin BYU deep.. It was luck it hit our player

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

7:43am

IMO, the truthful and practical takeaways from last night...

shoganai

7:41am

Is there evidence of rivalry hangover? It seems like a lame excuse

BaseCoug

7:44am

Forget #2, why do we have to play them every year?

Count Cougar

7:44am

What drives me nuts it BYU didn’t get beat by a better team last night.

95% of college football will say basically the exact same thing about at least

We all knew this was coming. This is a good team, NOT

cougar95

7:45am

It really was a heartbreaker there at the end. How close was Chase to the 1st?

homegrown

7:40am

Yeah everyone was around me was cheering and I just shook my head, going, nope

BaseCoug

7:41am

Jake had a really bad game. End of story.

dtownCoug

I understand that. Doesn’t help when Special Teams has come up big every game

Me, waiting for a holding call on that 4th down

McMax

7:40am

Did Holmoe go after the refs for the missed Offensive PI that led to a touchdown

Count Cougar

7:40am

That would’ve been hilarious if they called defensive holding on that last fourth down

Skeptical Optimist Intervention Needed

Running the option on that 3rd and 6 to the short side of the field at the end

For what’s it worth, it’s the same play we ran against Utah last week to

ChiCityCoug

7:39am

We have done the same play in similar situations this year and it worked

JoeExotic

7:40am

And Kansas had defended it well all night.

idcougarfan

7:41am

Would’ve been fine if we hadn’t just ran the ball twice before that….we again

Chefcurry

7:41am

We had a a couple decent runs on it

JoeExotic

Kansas had it figured out. They stuffed it a couple times earlier in the game.

Every time the camera zoomed on Retzlaff last night.

I didn’t notice that but he was clearly in a lot of pain.

I know you’re probably joking but they don’t make them when we lose in case

Which is a chump way to go. Show the bad with the good.

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

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

Landed on our DBs head.

JoeExotic

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

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

Thanks everyone. I now know what happened

Warner

7:35am

I’d say that play was great but it kinda was just trash bs

BaseCoug

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

The fade actually works if it's thrown well. We had a height advantage and he

IronPotato

7:42am

Honestly, I wish ARod had put the game more on Jake's arm when we passed the 50 yard line on the final drive.

SinkingQuffa

7:36am

It’s necessary. Last night was on him

Hawk Talons

7:37am

Partially. More on our O game plan.

The Y's Insider

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

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

So, you're saying the vast majority of his calls were bad and had nothing to do with Jake's execution? He makes an

CLCougar

7:39am

If you're putting it on Jake, you're also putting it directly on the OC. Arod is responsible for the QB room being in

foofcoug

7:41am

Of course it's a shared responsibility, but you implied ARod was totally responsible. At the end of the day, in this

CLCougar

7:48am

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

Das_Countach

7:34am

When your head coach is soft & all about "muh feelings"......

gopman

7:41am

This wasn’t a Kalani issue as much as it is an ongoing Arod one

Das_Countach

7:45am

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

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

Yeah the game plan was actually solid we just couldn’t score points

DanSmith

7:38am

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

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

Hawk Talons

Thank you

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

It's not shocking at all that Kalani allowed complacency. This is the least shocking thing ever

Coug

7:41am

Infuriating that the team knew they were mailing it in during practice last week

ldssdl

7:42am

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

Zoobieman

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

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

Das_Countach

Also true.

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

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

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

oxcoug

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

Grateful for the loss. Especially to KU.

Yep. Jake needs to get better when facing pressure
