They'd get blown off the field with that gameplan

Look at Boise upsetting Oklahoma and Utah upsetting Alabama in those BCS Bowl Games... It wasn't because they played the conservative "shorten the game" strategy. They came out aggressive rather than doing what was expected and being conservative.

I haven't been this upset with coaching in a long time.

The Y's Insider

11:05am

Fade route and option were both audible. Both coach and player deserve some

BYUheaven

11:07am

It was an audible but maybe he was coached to audible into that play if there

MaximusMeridius

Do our TE’s ever get double covered?

BYUheaven

12:20pm

I bet it hasn't really been that long.

shoganai

link?

The Y's Insider

11:08am

Were you happy with the coaching in the previous 9-0 run? If not, maybe consider

Socrates Johnson

11:08am

So you liked our strategy to eat clock?

The Y's Insider

11:10am

Answer my question and I will answer yours.

Socrates Johnson

The Y's Insider

I think the answer below is my answer. We were getting almost 5 YPC and pass pro

Socrates Johnson

11:23am

We ran the ball effectively and got first downs. If we would have broke off

NYCougz

11:13am

If the defense gives you 4-5 yards per play on a drive, you take it

Skeptical Optimist

11:13am

when you aren't putting points on the board, you have to move off it

stansburycoug

2:53pm

There has been a vocal contingent on this board w/coaching concerns all along

reddead

12:07pm

I don't care that we are 9-1 Arod is a bad coach. He has more years of bad coach

Grock

2:01pm

I remember fans calling for Chow's head... because he was a 'bad coach'.

Benfica1

2:10pm

I thought this before this year. I've moved off of bad coach. He's an ok coach

stansburycoug

2:59pm

I agree. He's a solid coach for a middle of the pack Big XII team

reddead

3:06pm

No, I was not

baller_jayz

12:19pm

irrelevant take.

Love Cougs

3:01pm

Do you think we were trying to run out the clock or just taking what the defense

NYCougz

11:11am

We routinely snapped the ball with 2-4 seconds on the play clock.

The Y's Insider

11:12am

And sometimes more. We aren’t a hurry up offense.

NYCougz

11:14am

Shortening the game invites more luck/variability into the outcome. If Kalani is

royal_blue

11:11am

Because something happens, that doesn’t mean it was our strategy.

NYCougz

11:16am

If people have a link to this being a strategy

NYCougz

11:35am

So there's this thing called a play clock. The more seconds that go by between

royal_blue

11:58am

So when we threw 50 yard bombs in the first half

NYCougz

12:47pm

We ran clock. Deliberately. Idk how to put it more simply than that.

royal_blue

12:56pm

You are saying we wanted less possessions to shrink the game.

NYCougz

1:06pm

Look at how many seconds elapsed off the play clock when it was running vs

royal_blue

2:36pm

So if we speed up 2 seconds that might add 2 minutes?

NYCougz

2:42pm

It might be mercy that we lost the game and will miss the playoffs, could you

CameronG

11:27am

That was the gameplan I might expect vs. Alabama or Georgia.

The Y's Insider

11:37am

They'd get blown off the field with that gameplan

CameronG

11:40am

We beat SMU, we could beat those teams. Kalani has a descent bowl record

NYC and Japan

12:51pm

No way, if Kalani and Co got so scared of playing 3-6 Kansas at home that they

CameronG

1:26pm

They were scared? What does that mean?

NYCougz

1:35pm

Yes they were scared at the thought of getting blown out so they went super

CameronG

1:53pm

How many games have we been scarred?

NYCougz

1:59pm

That's a good question for them, but based on the way the team played and the

CameronG

2:10pm

So how many games scared? It just started this game?

NYCougz

2:13pm

Running the ball in the redzone isn't a bad idea I more have an issue with the

CameronG

2:28pm

I don’t like the jet sweep at all on second down as well

NYCougz

2:36pm

Play calling on the last drive wasn't as bad as I originally thought.

runnincoug

11:16am

I agree. I wanted us to throw on 2nd down, but hindsight is 20/20.

The Y's Insider

11:18am

yes, agreed. As Chase said, we played with fire too much.

runnincoug

11:23am

Slow-developing option to the boundary side... SMH

reddead

12:09pm

Funny, I thought it was brilliant to eat clock and keep their strength (Daniels

SV72 Sale

11:17am

With how the game had been going, I found it unwise to waste so much clock.

Yucatan

11:22am

I think the plan at HT was to dominate in the trenches

NYCougz

11:29am

I might agree except we ran nearly 40 seconds between each snap.

The Y's Insider

11:35am

We have done that a lot this season.

NYCougz

11:37am

No. Don't get cute. Score and turn it to the D.

Love Cougs

3:04pm

That’s hardly getting cute. That’s what most coaches strive to do

SV72 Sale

3:24pm

I think it was late, they were tired and cold, and just wanted to get to bed

Mitty

11:40am

I agree that shortening the game (from the start) was not a great plan...

Benfica1

11:43am

Seems as though coaching has lost confidence in the offense, specifically

notsofast

11:43am

Fade route was the correct call, given the defensive look

Homo Erectus

11:53am

That's just not true. A fade route is among the highest difficulty throws in FB.

Ferb

12:31pm

We were gashing them in the run game. WHY THROW THE BALL????

Rocketman

1:49pm

Quite the overreaction. I have been far more upset with our coaches decades

Cougz19

12:12pm

Well Grimes is on the other side which may have played a factor in our scheme

ElkaholicCoug

12:44pm

Do you think ARod should have considered Kansas’s elite secondary?

conetah

12:58pm

Don't let it ruin your day. It's just sports.

IronPotato

1:01pm

Why the whole slow play on offense was such a dumb game plan

byublue42

1:38pm

So true, we're not a team itching to blow the opponent out - but...

BYUFootballRocks1

Kalani = DAWG Jay = DAWG Poppinga = DAWG

baller_jayz

1:51pm

Much easier to just accept who BYU is. It is difficult to be disappointed for

indocoug

This is just who Arod is folks

You are so right
