opponents. Whether they're actually doing that or not, and whether they actually should do it or not, I don't know. But it would be one plausible explanation for dumbing down the play calling as the game goes by.

It's hard to perform the basics under pressure?

Then ARod should adjust too, yes?

Loyal2Royal

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

Blueto

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

Loyal2Royal

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..

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.

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

They didnt play conservative....

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

Quit being fearless and play scared?

Plantagenet

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

That is some shallow analysis

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

And plain old drops, as in pass drops.

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

Plantagenet

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

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

Winning is always sufficient

Southpawn

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

GMGlenn

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

Thats why trying to score every drive is the right answer.

EDthoracotomy

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

MaximusMeridius

9:35am

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

Knight-who-says-ni

11:59am

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