Look at the breakdown.

And your center gets hurt. And WRs drop the ball. And refs don't call a blatant

It's hard to perform the basics under pressure?

Plantagenet

9/30/24 9:47am

I mean that it's not JUST playcalling. Everyone is saying it got too conservativ

fattycoug

9/30/24 12:04pm

Those things are important, but fewer than 75 yards in the 2nd half is pathetic.

SoBlueitHurts

9/30/24 2:53pm

The point isn't that it was good offense. The point was that it wasn't necessari

I agree with that. And maybe a new post would be better, but wow it all fell

SoBlueitHurts

9/30/24 4:23pm

And that is always cause for concern.

Plantagenet

9/30/24 11:20pm

Then ARod should adjust too, yes?

Loyal2Royal

9/30/24 10:55am

Sure. But if your complaint with Arod is he's not scoring on every single drive

Blueto

9/30/24 1:19pm

Byu scored 31 points in the first half and just 3 points in the 2nd

Loyal2Royal

9/30/24 1:42pm

Definitely, however; if we did that in every game the rest of season I will have

Blueto

9/30/24 3:18pm

Seems like a pretty unrealistic scenario. That is why we need improvement

SoBlueitHurts

9/30/24 3:28pm

Maybe Sitake wants Arod to be conservative at that point in the game

I think Wrubell shared some stats In the postgame that shows Kalani's approach..

icecougar

9/29/24 11:28pm

I remember him talking about BYU's win/loss record under Kalani is 34-2...

Ask Wyoming about KW taking his foot off the gas.

Accountability trumps all. LOL

But we also did not do great at holding the ball in the 2nd half to reduce their

The. That would be a Stake problem. You be conservative once you are up multiple TDa late in the 4th quarter.

unctoothman

9/30/24 5:59am

They didnt play conservative....

Southpawn

9/30/24 9:37am

Good points. I wish they had been more conservative on that 3rd and 2. Plus that

SoBlueitHurts

9/30/24 2:56pm

The irony here is that ARod was aggressive in calling pass plays late...and it

MaximusMeridius

9/30/24 9:39am

Quit being fearless and play scared?

Plantagenet

9/30/24 9:48am

Anyone that is saying they played scared is ONLY looking at the results

fattycoug

9/30/24 12:06pm

That is some shallow analysis

JuicyJam

9/29/24 11:25pm

I think the drop off in scoring had more to do with oline injuries than letting

robin

And plain old drops, as in pass drops.

Soupie

9/30/24 7:33am

We're not going to the championship if the loss of a lineman skewers our offense

Plantagenet

9/30/24 9:49am

Yeah. We’re probably not going to the championship. We’re doing great. Much better than expected. But if our OC only

My goal (and most on this board) was 6-6 with 8-4 the ceiling.

You're possibly right. That's what happens. Some teams have the depth

Both can be, and likely are, true.

Winning is good but not sufficient if you have weaknesses. What if your

Plantagenet

9/30/24 9:51am

Winning is always sufficient

Southpawn

9/30/24 10:18am

But not always sustainable

SoBlueitHurts

9/30/24 3:46pm

Win against bad teams and you're still bad can be one reason. Winning is not

Plantagenet

9/30/24 11:22pm

I'm conflicted. Glad for a win but it would be more entertaining to play

GMGlenn

9/30/24 7:12am

We will see results from a lack of confidence and skill.

Plantagenet

9/30/24 9:52am

Also, they might be holding back to keep some of the playbook hidden from future

You've unintentionally highlighted a massive logical flaw in your argument

MaximusMeridius

9/30/24 9:35am

Did ARod really let off the gas or did he fail to adjust when Baylor defense adjusted?

Knight-who-says-ni

9/30/24 11:59am

He didn’t let off the gas. Go back and watch. Trick plays, pass plays, etc. continued. Our Oline was hurt. Receivers

correct- throwing on 3rd and 2 and 3rd and 8-both INTs. Fake punt on 3rd & 10

For anyone interested, I did a breakdown of the play calls here:

I attended the game and was frustrated…but…

This is typical BYU fashion. We need to step on their throat.

IronPotato

Alabama is the best team in the country and they almost gave up a 28-0 lead
