simply a non-conference game that happens to be the last game of their (SDSU) season before the bowl game.

Their coach hates BYU. Their fans hate BYU. Their players couldn't care less that it's BYU.

I’m calling the SDSU game a probable loss.

The Y's Insider

11/17/19 8:41am

We won 42-10 playing 2-3's and Seniors who don't typically play. And knelt

Blueto

11/17/19 8:47am

Score means very little. Game 10 and we still lack discipline, focus.

The Y's Insider

11/17/19 8:49am

If it helps, feel free to worry about a game two weeks away.

Benfica1

11/17/19 11:25am

Oh, I thought this was a venue to talk sports. Speculate and stuff...

The Y's Insider

11/17/19 11:46am

Pretty sure it is still. Translation: I'm not as worried & won't fret–2 weeks...

Benfica1

11/17/19 11:53am

I think we will see a different team when we get SDSU

pappabear246

11/17/19 12:30pm

That QB has only played two good games in 2019.

Cougarbib

11/17/19 12:58pm

That doesn’t change the fact that we let a backup FCS RB run all over us, and had a ton of bad penalties on the OLine

DieHarder

11/17/19 8:49am

No, but ultimately we still won 42-10 in spite of the issues you

basman

11/17/19 9:10am

Why would mental penalties be ok in game 10?

Blue for Life

11/17/19 12:01pm

shouldn't our 2's and 3's still dominate an FCS opponent on a now 5 game losing

Powerbait DPM studnt

11/17/19 10:42am

42-10 isn't dominant?

Blueto

11/17/19 11:02am

UU dominated the same foe 31-0.

Benfica1

11/17/19 11:25am

So we had a bigger spread? Plus we took a knee. All kidding

Cougarbib

11/17/19 11:52am

Oh, I agree. Surprised that our O struggled early & the D game up 2-3 big plays.

Benfica1

11/17/19 11:57am

THey really dominated. 550 yards to 150

BYU '80

11/17/19 2:49pm

Oh, I thought a game was won or lost based on score. Thanks for the info.

Benfica1

11/17/19 3:58pm

Clearly a team that outgained the other by 400 yards and pitched a shutout

BYU '80

11/17/19 8:42pm

We played starters and guys who get significant time nearly the whole game

BYU '80

11/17/19 2:48pm

My honest opinion and many will disagree:

DanSmith

11/17/19 8:48am

I’m sure this will be a really popular opinion. Baylor can do no wrong on here

DieHarder

11/17/19 8:51am

He doesn’t do much wrong on the field either

DanSmith

11/17/19 8:56am

Liberty was a meh game. Ok but not great.

Turnpike Lane

11/17/19 9:21am

Check PER for Romney every game including Liberty. Anything over 145

Cougarbib

11/17/19 10:46am

He's solid, but a bunch of Romney's chuck plays were

I'mBatman

11/17/19 9:36am

If we get the Zach we had yesterday then yes we will lose.

Seasider

11/17/19 8:55am

He had a qb rating of 126.8 against Idaho, his rating so far this season is 129

Blubook

11/17/19 12:56pm

And Baylor loses vs USC. Zach’s legs won that game

Graig Swame

11/17/19 1:46pm

IDK. Maybe. But, yes, Zach played well in that 1 game this season.

Cougarbib

11/17/19 1:56pm

I think we end up beating SDSU by 10. And I’ve got many of the same issues that many have on here with the team and the

specsauce

11/17/19 8:49am

I'm sure their defense is good, but have they played any good offenses?

ManicBlue

11/17/19 8:50am

I hope you’re wrong too.

lightmann

11/17/19 8:51am

I don't know how we can be critical of yesterday's defense

donnerstag

11/17/19 8:58am

True, I was far more concerned with the O.

The Y's Insider

11/17/19 9:01am

The defense was fine for the most part. The only concerning part for me is

ManicBlue

11/17/19 11:24am

ONly three tackles for loss and no sacks

BYU '80

11/17/19 8:44pm

Seriously?

PessimisticCB

11/17/19 9:08am

I know, I know...

The Y's Insider

11/17/19 9:31am

Dont forget the refs. The refs caused all our losses.

coldcoug

11/17/19 6:44pm

Objectivity is frowned upon here

stansburycoug

11/17/19 7:01pm

I think it's a probable win with Baylor Romney.

eddog

11/17/19 9:12am

Our roster just upgraded with our redshirt guys coming back...

mobomanjoe

11/17/19 9:26am

If Wilson plays like he did against Idaho State we will lose.

ThorLebowski

11/17/19 9:36am

Depends who starts.

cougfanz

11/17/19 9:40am

And what were your fears prior to the USU game? Genuinely asking.

DraperCoug22

11/17/19 9:54am

Genuine answer.

The Y's Insider

11/17/19 10:04am

Fair enough. BYU plays to its competition. Kalani will have his guys ready.

DraperCoug22

11/17/19 10:11am

Those 2 sentences don't combine to instill hope.

The Y's Insider

11/17/19 10:13am

Under that premise, our performance will improve from yesterday.

DraperCoug22

11/17/19 10:28am

I share your concerns. However, we often play better when motivated. I think

PortlandBlue

11/17/19 10:26am

None of our players recognize old MWC foes other than the ones we still

Cougarbib

11/17/19 10:52am

Rocky Long at SDSU said as much. He loathes the idea of playing BYU. But, it's

TrueBlue67

11/17/19 11:47am

Exactly. Current players do not relate to it.

Cougarbib

11/17/19 11:54am

The sacks were on ZW

Boring

11/17/19 10:53am

Oddly enough, BR sees the field much better than ZW.

TrueBlue67

11/17/19 11:48am

THe blitz inside the twenty that got there in a blink of an eye

BYU '80

11/17/19 8:45pm

This guy gets it.

mendoncoug

11/17/19 11:08am

Such insight. Wow.

Benfica1

11/17/19 11:23am

Change probable to possible and you'd have it right.

WaybackCougar

11/17/19 11:23am

Yep, this. Probable is not the best word.

DraperCoug22

11/17/19 11:53am

They will likely be favored. Thus, probable is the right word.

Cougarbib

11/17/19 11:57am

the perpetual pessimists are always trying to convince others they're realistic

Lip Gallagher

11/17/19 12:30pm

You're right. We'll probably never lose again!!!

The Y's Insider

11/17/19 12:56pm

And CBers know nothing but extremes.

Lip Gallagher

11/17/19 2:55pm

We play better against better competition

KendoVABeach

11/17/19 12:53pm

I disagree. Other than Washington, we’ve played to the quality of our opponents

Robbinoburrito

11/17/19 12:57pm

Agree with everything plus Rocky Long hates us

stansburycoug

11/17/19 1:04pm

Oh. Gee. The sky is falling.

Elvis

11/17/19 1:19pm

A clean crisp focused effort on offense 1st qtr would have been nice.

Cougarbib

11/17/19 1:58pm

Agree with the concerns, but still expect BYU to step up and win like it has

Bee Chunder

11/17/19 1:47pm

I hope so. They are certainly capable.

The Y's Insider

11/17/19 1:59pm

You don’t hope you’re wrong though, it is ok to be honest

sidsie716

11/17/19 2:01pm

LOL. Cuz you know me really well, right?

The Y's Insider

11/17/19 2:20pm

To be sure, SDSU is not Utah. But UW, USC, Tennessee, Toledo, USF, BSU, USU

Cougarbib

11/17/19 2:10pm

I think you have to put SDSU below USU since USU beat SDSU in September

Bee Chunder

11/17/19 2:58pm

SDSU has gotten stronger. USU faded. SDSU coach hates

Cougarbib

11/17/19 4:35pm

SDSU beat Weber by 6, lost to USU and Nevada, and has barely won its other games

DraperCoug22

11/17/19 4:36pm

All of this is true or possible. We are not exactly a juggernaut, either. We

Cougarbib

11/17/19 4:49pm

Yep. I simply like our chances more than you guys do then.

DraperCoug22

11/17/19 5:05pm

My concern would be how the team views SDSU

stansburycoug

11/17/19 2:36pm

Good thing BYU had UMASS in between.

wilsdad

11/17/19 4:54pm

This Critic says you are just wrong.

Beetdiggercoug

11/17/19 4:56pm

I'm not surprised by anything anymore

Resurgens

11/17/19 6:46pm

It's because of independence. Eventually people will figure this out. Playing

Ash

11/17/19 7:33pm

Do you really wish BYU was still in the MWC?

Cougarbib

11/17/19 11:26pm

Dumb straw man. I've never advocated for the MWC.

Ash

11/18/19 2:45pm

Well. What exactly are you advocating for?

Cougarbib

11/18/19 2:48pm

For someone who is a troll it must be hard to understand that not every comment
