russkiejedi Intervention Needed

The offense can't spend the first quarter of each game figuring out which end is

up. We won't have that luxury in every game. I don't know if that's more on the gameplan or the execution, but we've got to start producing on offense in the first quarter. Maybe competition and experience solves that. The bad interception notwithstanding, Jaren has been visibly improving as a passer and decisionmaker.

Seems something on offense just isn't clicking.

Pollster

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

9/21/21 1:44pm

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

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

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

9/21/21 1:54pm

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

I noticed that, too.

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

byublue42

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

I agree with you, though you can argue that last year BYU did just that

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

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

Serious question, how many other games have you watched this season other than

Part of 2-3 games a week?

and how many of those teams have played 3 P5's? None, and a lot of them haven't

I get it. All schedules aren’t created equal.

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.
