SoBlueitHurts Intervention Needed

KSU blowout was great, but our offense has been playing with fire and it is not sustainable for a team not loaded with 4 and 5 star talents

Trying to understand the ARod hate. BYU scored more points than any opponent

Bad play calling in the 2nd half against Baylor

WJCougar

Sep 29, 10:02pm

I went back and rewatched the game. His play calling was fine. Aggressive even.

PJMort

Sep 29, 10:09pm

The worst play call was the third and 2 that resulted in a pick. That should

Uuuh, it wasnt just a single game— its been years of head scratching competence

The play calling was fine, it was the execution that was the problem.

Tuiaki and Funk are gone, there has to be a new CB whipping boy.

Pepe

So they didn’t deserve criticism?

vegas guey

Yeah I think CB criticism of those two coaches has held up extremely well

Yet there are dozens of Cougarboarders riding in like knights in shining armor

The point is BYU could be 5-0 and ranked and people would still be calling for

I don’t believe I was calling for him to be fired. But I was and am criticizing

We should not want to strengthen our weakest points? I am not calling for a

Arod is not our weakest point at all.

BYU has the 2nd best Strength of Record. BYU is winning against tough teams.

Those guys are gone and, what do you know? Things got better

Beggar

things like running 96% of the time on 2nd and long.

cruiserhead

Sep 29, 10:02pm

…and then throwing on 3rd and short when we need to run clock

cougarblue

Sep 29, 10:04pm

And I believe that ended in interception.

BigHouse Coug

Sep 29, 10:24pm

I mean 96% of OCs do this to get to more manageable 3rd downs

B Blue

Sep 29, 10:06pm

I agree. Coaches are avoiding 3rd and 10. I think this is common.

NYCougz

Sep 29, 10:07pm

Fair point.

cruiserhead

Sep 29, 10:11pm

Nice arbitrary number. He deserves criticism.

Helm Hammerhand

Sep 29, 10:21pm

You know the 96 percent was the from the poster that says we run on

NYCougz

Sep 29, 10:26pm

My bad, I’ll take the L on that one. You are right.

Helm Hammerhand

Sep 29, 10:30pm

What percentage is it really? I’m curious what the average rate is of running

NYCougz

Sep 29, 10:06pm

3 points in the 2nd half against Baylor - Complaints are about his tendencies after getting a nice lead.

Would have loved to have less injuries at lineman and RB.

NYCougz

Sep 29, 10:10pm

Yes…prevent offense. That could be as much Kalani tho too.

cruiserhead

Sep 29, 10:12pm

Two underthrown trick plays that could have been TDs and a dropped basically TD

Because fans don’t know what each play should look like vs what happened. And

Alabama would be saying the same thing about their coaches if it weren’t for

They were saying the same thing, my in laws are from Alabama, their group text

Stupid comment, a lot of fans know football.

Helm Hammerhand

What OC in our history hasn't gotten flak? That's human nature.

Genghis Spreads

Sep 29, 10:12pm

I’m guessing most OCs get this treatment

NYCougz

I'd says all that I can remember.

It’s not hate, it’s criticism. There is a difference. He doesn’t need CB’s

Let's not let data cloud the conversation here. Stick with the approved narratives please

Bob Vance

Sep 29, 10:24pm

What data, like 3 points in the 2nd half? Is that the kind of data you speak of?

Helm Hammerhand

Sep 29, 10:28pm

So does Arod get super duper lots of credit for 31 points in the first half?

NYCougz

Sep 29, 10:31pm

Sure, but you’ve got to finish the game. That’s the rub, the first half showed

Helm Hammerhand

Sep 29, 10:38pm

BYU is 74th in total offense and 119th in 3rd down conversion

Beggar

Good data points but we showing progress on offense the last two weeks

I’ll agree their is progress, but still room for criticism. Constructive

No argument there. Everyone needs to step up play callers

I’m convinced that some on here would complain if BYU squeaked out an NC.

You’ve got blinders on. There’s always room for improvement and criticism.
