Yep that bothered me way more than the play calling.

NYCougz Intervention Needed

Sure there are always going to be bad play calls but we need to manage the clock better. The end of the half was so beyond painful.

Retzlaff sure struggled.

Doubt we would face a defense like that before the playoff

BYU has relied on our aggressive defense to get turnovers and short fields

He will. Max beat Utah twice and didn’t put up his best work.

NYCougz

Nov 10, 2:16pm

Yeah, he did just enough to beat them twice...

Yep. And in ugly games that is what you need to do.

The inane subbing has got to go. SIMPLIFY!!!

The OL and RB pass blocking didn’t do him any favors.

This he had very little protection

He led a game winning drive. Legendary. He

This….improved play calling could have helped him.

His OC was garbage!!

4 scoring drives in hostile environment where we haven’t won since my youngest was born…

Point still stands. He had a terrible game. They didn’t know what they were doin

Thankfully, Jake has proven time and time again that he doesn’t stay down long

His and teams mental toughness is apparent. More so than CB 🙂

That is the beauty of pressure. It speeds things up so even on plays they arent

No QBs play well against U, see Caleb Williams

GoodBetterBestBYU

His reluctance to take off running makes me think they coached him not to

MarylandFan

IMO you get a pass in the Utah game. And no interceptions.

bythenumbers

Agreed

Whitt does this to 1st time qbs in the rivalry. The fact we didn’t turn it over

Utah has one of the best defenses in the NCAA. Top 10 easily.

The Online didn't help

I think connner pay changes this game big time

Hope he’s in shape

Amazing what pressure does to a QB

SUAVO

Nov 10, 3:41pm

Scally sure talked to him for a bit after game. Curious what it was about

Jagger

Nov 10, 3:44pm

That caught my eye too. Seemed like a pretty cool response by him after…

icecougar

RES is right up there as the toughest place to play (especially when you’re BYU)

Aircooled

He will not see another D or environment like that until the CFP

Pretorian

Nov 10, 3:59pm

Nobody really had a great game, especially coaches. Play calling and clock

2 worst ones were the sliding completion to Lassiter (I really wanted to see

I'll take 0 turnovers and clutch plays. We have fantastic receivers too.

Brandoblueblood

Yes and acknowledge 4 scoring drives in the face of a relentless D that always has BYUs number, with catastrophic plays

GoodBetterBestBYU

They made some amazingly difficult catches

icecougar

So glad we’ve recruited talented WRs

GoodBetterBestBYU

Utah’s tough defense and the loudest most hostile crowd he has played against

Nagurski

Gave me a Max Hall vs Utah vibe. Hall always struggled vs Utah but in the end…

Don’t forget Lassiter drop

Communication was off, and all those subs seemed the throw them off their rhythm

He led the game winning drive to beat Utah at RES. Put some respect on his name.

We’ve seen the best of Retzlaff this season, but he’s going to struggle against good defenses mostly because of his bad

crm48

Nov 10, 5:53pm

Super impressed w/ his composure. Sure he was under pressure. More blocking

HeyU

Nov 10, 6:13pm

Their defense is elite. Plus, I honestly think he didn’t expect that intensity

Your Royal Blueness

I think the low in the grass completions were supposed to be low on purpose

2FarGone

This hasn't always been the case in the past, but in this game I agree

Our RBs did Jake no favors. I distinctly remember our one of the tips was due to

Keim was beaten all night in pass pro too

Now Jake knows how the other team esp qb feels.

OLine didn't do him any favors either.

Everything but special teams and Second half D struggled. But we won!

Iki_Balam

Nov 10, 7:09pm

Didn’t we shut them out in the 2nd half and held them to no points on 2 short fields?

GoodBetterBestBYU

Nov 10, 7:23pm

Yes, and we also didnt anticipate Rose would be a good QB, so that too.

Iki_Balam

That was a top 5 defense

It’s a team issue as much as it was a Jake issue
