The final 5 games of 2023

It's not THAT they lost. It's HOW they lost that is frustrating to me.

I'm just curious what five game losing streak wouldn't be frustrating?

Indy Coug

3 were competitive? Only two. The Oklahoma games. Texas was kinda competitive

HimmerFredette

The Texas game was competitive for 3 quarters. BYU had outgained Texas through most of 3 quarters

Indy Coug

Jun 24, 1:26pm

The Texas game was over after the first quarter.

lol. I was at the Texas game. We were never really in that game from the jump.

LOL I was at the game too. BYU didn't get run off the field — certainly not remotely close to the way

Indy Coug

Sure other games were worse, but BYU was never competitive. It wasn’t a beat

Our first four drives of the game we didn’t run more than 3 plays a single drive

Two of the five games were competitive. In fact, two of those games we were in

I hate this argument.

Compare that to their toughest opening 5 games ever

Indy Coug

I recently watched the last two games, and I'm really bullish on Retzlaff.

SLIVER

Jun 24, 1:22pm

There is nothing from those last two games which have me bullish on Retzlaff

Indy Coug

Jun 24, 1:23pm

He was getting that RPO going. When he was in his groove he looked good. Robbins

SLIVER

The last two games had me more hopeful about the OL this year than it did about the QB

Indy Coug

Jun 24, 1:36pm

That is kind of the point. The OL should be much better which will help the QB

Cougar TD

Robbins made the OL look better because he is great running north/south. He

Retzlaff got too excited and zipped passes that were uncatchable.

That's also 5 of the 6 best teams in the Big 12. Iowa St., Kansas St, and WV were all tied with 6-3 conf records.

The No Show games against WV and Iowa St. were more frustrating than...

Were they that rare under Bronco or is your memory just bad?

Bad memory

Oh, you definitely missed more than a few of Bronco's. For instance, losing to Virginia in 2013 was brutal. We only

You are still missing quite a few

Oh ye of short memories

"pretty rare under Bronco" ... Lol.

You know what else Bronco never did? Beat Utah by more than a one score margin.

slatecoug

Jun 24, 4:05pm

That's almost a Wrubell-esque stat

CougarScrub

Jun 24, 3:20pm

Well part of the reason for the stellar records is those teams went 5-0 vs BYU

Gotta get one of those.
