Injuries. A totally remade interior OL and ARod cannot will his WRs to catch the ball. Those drops had a big impact. They made the plays in the first half, struggled in the second half.

We also need to assign some credit to Baylor. They have players too and very good, athletic ones.

Arod was freaking brilliant in the Baylor game.

I've been highly critical of Arod & will admit 1st half was good, however...

Oct 2, 8:47am

You have some serious issues. Let it go. Arod is doing a good job by most

Did you not rest my full post— I’m fine w/ his play calling— it’s

Oct 2, 9:39am

Read my post again. Issues about culture, etc. are not based into reality.

TempeCoug

...that is your opinion

Oct 2, 10:42am

No doubt that’s my opinion and it sure makes watching BYU football a more

If only ARod would draw up plays in which Lassiter CATCHES the ball, not drop it

Eddie

Blocked FG too vs Baylor. If they had made that Baylor needed a FG for a tie

Running ball on every 2nd and long is not brilliant

Oct 2, 4:03am

was the play call a run or read option and jake opted for run?

If the players had executed, you wouldn't be complaining.

Oct 2, 6:13am

Teaching your players to execute is part of coaching

Oct 2, 7:05am

This thread is about play-calling.

They also scored 34 points with our 5th string RB

Oct 2, 8:50am

Why not just throw HailMary every down & when it doesnt work blame no execution?

Oct 2, 8:31am

Were you complaining about this in the first half when we were up 21-0 or 28-7?

Oct 2, 8:51am

No, b/c in 1st half he didn’t do that, which makes even all the more bewildering

Oct 2, 1:15pm

I think you need to rewatch Snap2Tackle...

Oct 2, 1:52pm

Which I did for you. By my count:

Oct 2, 2:18pm

Yeah, I agree with you…we run it on 2nd down A LOT. Too much in fact.

Oct 2, 3:29pm

You need to watch a lot more football. We threw it more on 2nd down, btw.

Oct 2, 5:01pm

Except that's not what he did... go look it up

31 points and nearly 300 yards against a good defense in the first half isn’t chopped liver

Indy Coug

Oct 2, 7:18am

We only complain cause we gained 0 yards. More on execution than bad call.

RE: We only complain cause we gained 0 yards. More on execution than bad call.

Oct 2, 8:32am

That is such a poor example...

Oct 2, 8:59am

Of course, that's not what happened . I think you didn't watch the gane

Belboz

Oct 2, 8:01am

He didn't just run the ball on 2nd and long...

Coug

Oct 2, 8:18am

This didn't happen. Go watch the game.

Adrielle

Oct 2, 8:42am

Could you back this up with actual evidence? Post every 2nd down and what byu did To prove this isn’t an echo chamber

KYU

Oct 2, 8:45am

That has always been one of my biggest gripes but not vs Baylor.

YOHONOMOTO

Neither is that as a summary of ARod's playcalling.

Socrates Johnson

Short yardage plays need work. We could use TE in offense.

MajorZeus

Oct 2, 4:48am

Yes, and also not use our 5th string RB and 3rd string interior O-Linemen

I’d rather have lost a game or two than have witnessed ARod’s play calling

We won so it wasn’t bad but brilliant? Why brilliant?

Pretorian

I think he's done pretty good this season. Personnel-wise, every week's been very challenging for him.

SinkingQuffa

Oct 2, 7:35am

You can say he was good, and I would disagree, but “freaking brilliant”?!

Haven’t listened to any podcasts. I watched the game and how many wide open

YOHONOMOTO

Oct 2, 9:03am

Choose whatever adjective you want to use to describe the play calling in the second half… It wasn’t effective

cougXor

Oct 2, 8:11am

This is Harry Sisson level denial and gas lighting. Arod deserves a lot of

Helm Hammerhand

Oct 2, 8:38am

I agree

UnhealthyAddiction

Same. I will give credit where it’s due.

YOHONOMOTO

Oct 2, 9:04am

Our special teams allowed too many short fields for them. I think that was a significant issue that was covered up

Oct 2, 9:35am

Given up short fields is absolutely an issue. Need to get that fixed for sure.

TempeCoug

Oct 2, 9:43am

Their player allowing the ball to bounce 20 yards on a punt was huge
