Coaches gotta tell batty to quit flopping.. it’s honestly embarrassing.

GhostRider

1:32pm

So if we lose to ASU we can still get in if K St beats ISU and AZ beats ASU.

YOHONOMOTO

1:32pm

And we beat Houston, yes. But let’s just win out.

CougarTwins

1:32pm

We would also need Colorado to lose a game

McMax

1:33pm

I haven't seen much discussion about the obvious offensive PI...

lbmango

1:31pm

Absofrigginlutely, that was blatant offensive PI!

jaba166

1:32pm

Didn’t see INT Taysom threw jn 1st half... Bad throw? Tipped ball? Overthrow?

BYUfan92

1:30pm

Threw into double coverage

NYCougz

1:31pm

And was a deeper throw than I would recommend for him

goblin

1:31pm

Yep - trick play that didn’t trick anyone

My favorite thing is hearing SEC coaches talk about how they get persecuted by

I was wondering after the huge win over Utah if it would linger on and keep the

Hinta

How much focus does it require the offense to score a measly 18 points??

Video of Taysom TD (language warning in comments since it’s Twitter)

BYUfan92

1:28pm

Detroit needs to bench key starters before they get hurt. This is overkill

Belboz

1:27pm

Agreed.

NYCougz

1:31pm

Formula for feeling better: Reconstruct how crap you'd feel if BYU had lost

oxcoug

1:27pm

Yeah I'll take this loss over the Utah loss any day

MaximusMeridius

1:29pm

BYU was outplayed by Utah and should have lost

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

1:28pm

So what are the scenarios to make the CCG?

dmatt

1:26pm

Win out

Durden

1:26pm

I'm curious about this too. If we lose to ASU, there's a tie w/ 2-loss teams...

runnincoug

1:27pm

If we lose to ASU, we need KU to beat Colorado and KSU to beat ISU

McMax

1:28pm

Depends on how if ISU can beat KSU in two weeks. Double effect to BYU as KSU’s

BYUHgrad

1:28pm

Basically win out. Last night was the one game buffer we had since ASU beat

BYUHgrad

1:28pm

Taysom is a beast

Adwight

1:25pm

Another Taysom TD!

MaximusMeridius

1:25pm

Taysom - nice TD run on 4th and 1.

BYUfan92

1:25pm

BYU doesn’t spike in the obvious situation last week, and it cost them a FG

cougaman

1:24pm

ASU has made one field goal in their past six games. That is how BYU beats them.

DC15

1:23pm

Putting all of the blame on one factor for the loss implies nothing else was

Ok coaching and the offense. The D was not perfect but did enough to win and the

We are really struggling running in between the tackles which is makes it tough for the rest of the time… we need to

Coug98

That was largely on those last drives when defense was playing coverage since byu had to score… we have not been running

crm48

1:28pm

We are averaging 4.8 ypc which is very respectable

Two stats that summarize the game.

Or maybe not overthrow deep routes and underthrow fades

Big12Yfan

We stopped running trick plays. Maybe that’s it.

Boring

This. ☝🏻 I was thinking the same thing. Needed a spark to loosen things up.

Idahoancoug91

1:26pm

The O is playing tight, nervous, scared. And Jake has been very inaccurate

Still Blue

Our defense played like a Top 5-10 team. Not many defenses in the Country would

Gonna take a long time for me to forgive that outrageous corner-fade call. Cost

And very poorly executed.

Brigham

Like epically

Big12Yfan

Even spiking the ball there, they were scrambling like

novacoug1

1:10pm

Yes, we seemed panicked. We had time and time-outs, yet spiked the ball wasting

Brigham

1:11pm

That spike nearly killed me, too. Such incompetence, and a Twilight Zone repeat

PGVikingDad

1:11pm

I could forgive it if we go on a 6 game win streak now. I'll eat a beefy 5 layer burrito with my face if we do it.

foofcoug

1:11pm

You mean 7 game? I doubt we get a bye now.

AZPTCOUG

1:11pm

That'd be a bonus. I'm fine losing in the Finals. Don't want to be too greedy.

foofcoug

1:13pm

You think winning the BigXII CCG won’t get us the four seed? BSU would not get

BYUHgrad

Maybe if Boise is undefeated with only loss to #1 undefeated Oregon.

Has it been confirmed if Jake changed Aron’s call to the fade?

Traveshamockery

1:12pm

Oh I rage cussed when it happened and I'm still really ticked off about it

Coug

1:13pm

I was yelling at the TV the moment I recognized a pass play developing. Just the

PGVikingDad

1:15pm

Same. My son typically is quiet during the game and he was really ticked also

Coug

1:24pm

W have too many good players to throw a high risk play to a lowly used player

NYCougz

This is one of the most bizarre sports fan cliches, to me. Do people really feel

Yup, I have to agree. 1st and goal at the 5, and we've got 40 seconds and

Happened early and they started highly ranked so it doesn't matter anymore

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

They don’t deserve it at all. college Football is still broken.

OmahaThunderCoug

1:08pm

The committee is laughing at your feelings

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

1:10pm

Of course they are. I can picture them now.

OmahaThunderCoug

1:17pm

They are #6, #4, and #8 in Sagarin, FPI, and SP+ respectively. Sounds like the #6 team to me.

It's a failure at multiple levels. All the way down to each individual.

No touching All-American

I don't believe you. You'd still be upset if Kansas had looked really good.

shoganai

1:05pm

No, that would be one of those losses that CB is totally fine with.

Junior Deputy

1:22pm

Their last 3 games they beat 2 ranked teams and barely lost to a ranked KSU. The

SUAVO

1:06pm

Our D made them look bad.

IronPotato

Their defense didn't look great either.

No touching

1:09pm

Kansas is better than you give them credit for.

Squirt

1:07pm

Maybe. Maybe we just made them look bad. We beat them statistically. But somehow we managed to pull off the loss.

No touching

1:19pm

Sagarin and FPI both rate Kansas in the top 30

All-American

I guess we are the worst one loss team in the nation. Even worse than the one

We can afford much better, we aren’t in the MWC anymore. Let’s go get a real OC

I will forever stand that when two teams have the same record and one team won

Warner

1:02pm

If there are several losses, I can see a disparity, but with only 1 loss?

MarylandFan

1:04pm

But they lost to a better team, so they're...better than the team who beat them?

PGVikingDad

Another thing lost in the conversation is that the other teams at the top of the Big 12 standings still have games left

BYU lost for 3 reasons. 1. Mistakes 2. Inability to make a big plays in the red

I'd leave #3 off the list altogether. They scored 17 points with 7 being absolutely gifted to them.

The defense did great on 1st and 2nd down, but gave up several big plays on 3rd

3rd down is a frustration on both sides of the ball. The defense seems to do a better job of overcoming the 3rd down
