Maybe, but it’s great to look at it in hindsight and say “It was wrong there.”

Truth is, it almost worked to perfection against Kansas, but the Int and the pooch punt cost the game. Neither of those had anything to do with a slow paced offense, the Int was when they were in the hurry up.

I really dislike the slow pace of the offense, for several reasons.

And the biggest loss was in big part because of slow pace

Such a narrow-minded comment…

LOLzzz

I completely fail to understand why CBers want to downplay our record. For some strange reason so many are unsatisfied

HarlemCoug

Being 10-2 means we lost twice and the offense was a key part of those losses

I’m not downplaying the record. I said two things can be good at the same time.

I don't understand the desire to use it as a talisman against any and all

It’s also narrow minded to dismiss the fact that byu overperformed, and it

Pat on the back to those who are content with almost excellent. 10-2 beat preseason expectations, 10-2 was below

No the disconnect is that people are saying you have to be happy with a 10-2

LOLzzz

Dec 17, 9:03pm

That's exactly what I'm saying. You do have to be happy with a 10-2. If you're not, then you're doing BYU football wrong

I can be happy w/ 10-2 & upset that we lost the last 2/3. Not mutually exclusive

Enjoy your participation trophy 😂

Sure there is room for improvement, but it’s being implied that the pace of the

Exactly this whole thread is about finding ways to improve upon this season…

I’m not sure you understood a word that I said.

Nor you I…

First, this thread isn’t about finding ways to improve, it’s about pace of play

cougaman

Dec 17, 10:38pm

The initial post in the thread is about changing pace of play TO IMPROVE 😂

LOLzzz

Dec 17, 10:56pm

Right, it’s about pace of play. Not “ways”, a single “way.”

cougaman

Dec 17, 11:03pm

It worked to start the season, but not finding ways to improve

It was also apparent that our defense was great and benefited from the strategy.

Everything works until it doesn’t. That’s where good coaches adjust and adapt.

Dec 18, 3:46pm

So it was a good plan that helped our defense and helped contribute to the 10

No the D (Jay Hill) made adjustments that contributed to those 10 wins.

I did not say Arod was responsible for it. I don’t think it’s coming from him.

cougaman

Dec 18, 8:06pm

That’s a rich take 🤡

Dec 18, 9:20pm

The head coach can absolutely tell the OC what to do, and he is going to have

cougaman

Dec 18, 9:32pm

But to claim the DC has more say of the pace of the offense than the OC 😂

You mean HC and associate head coach.

Also your BM cussing me out would indicate your argument is weak at best.

Sorry, I don’t pay for BMs so I can’t respond to the BMs you are sending

LOLzzz

Dec 18, 9:40pm

Thats funny since you did respond. You obviously have are anti Arod.

Dec 18, 9:48pm

In order to be able to respond more than twice in an hour you gotta pay.

The slow paced offense shouldn't be a straightjacket. There will be games wheie

In hindsight? The Kansas game was a debacle throughout. It almost worked anyway

I’m old enough to remember when CBers cried about the fast pace of Anae’s GFGH.
