Well...give some credit to other teams; they have good coaches/players too

I used to watch BYU games with a guy who wanted a first down/touchdown every offensive play and who wanted a TFL/sack/incompletion on every defensive play.

We've been getting 350+ yards and 24+ against decent teams. We'll have our opportunities against USF, Utah State, Idaho State for the offense to really get going. But anybody expecting 35+ points and 500 yards against a steady diet of P5's needs to look at their expectations.

I agree that there are points and yards left on the board, but, sometimes, the D makes a play, confuses the QB, or has a perfect call against what we're running.

Seems something on offense just isn't clicking.

Things are clicking for 2.5 quarters per game. First quarter been a struggle most of the year, and 3rd quarter.

Yep, 21-3 v Zona, 23-7 v Utah, 21-7 v ASU. A complete game and we blow each out

I would be all for dumping plays that's aren't working

you mean the short side option play?

That one is our best bet for stalling a drive.

Hall has done well so far, but I think he still has room to improve in getting through his reads. He has been half a

This is just part of having a young qb

He’s been with the program for 3 years. With 5 starts now?

True but by those measures very few are new at BYU ever. Let me restate that,

This is a good point.

Imagine how good Hall will be once the game really slows down for him. Takes more than a couple of starts for that.

I share his concern about the multiple 3 and outs vs ASU. Offense needs

It was frustrating to see so many 1st down plays that resulted in the loss of 2-3 yards. That option play needs to go

Yup, 2nd & 12, 3rd & 9 really limits your options

He pitches it too soon and always does so. Get the defender to commit and it

scott715

9/21/21 1:59pm

Yep, but I think part of the problem is that they don't really want Hall to keep it or to get hit right after pitching

dilbert

9/21/21 2:06pm

spacing isn't right for it to be much of an option play. more of a way to get Ty

The problem is Ty is not an edge runner. The sweep is not his bread and butter

While I love to dream of 12-0, it's hardly a given. 2-3 losses still possible.

Part of the problem against ASU

9/21/21 1:52pm

I noticed that, too.

I also agree with this, I was saying each time BYU tried their stretch play

It's the 3rd game in. ASU was worse than us in this regard, thankfully.

Consistency will come with experience. I worry about injuries/depth.

Yep agreed. Super inconsistent. It’s amazing we’re #15 and undefeated

they really need to have a breakout scoring game which will hopefully come

The offense isn’t great, but the defense has been stellar

This is the best RB WR TE core I have seen in years. And Jaren is more than

The defense has been winning games for us, we aren't scoring that much.

I will say I prefer how ARod used the QB run game: sparingly and timely

We were spoiled with many "complete games" last year, but playing better teams..

Is it inconsistency or just the back and forth chess match between coaches?

Jaren has only started 5 games, and in doing so, has completed only 2.
