Belboz Intervention Needed

People who defend unsubstantiated criticisms of Roderick or the team don't do so because we think the team is perfect.

ARod said they were trying to push the ball downfield in the 2nd half

Captain Rex

I can't believe they didn't call PI on the double pass

Darzog

9/30/24 4:02pm

For real!

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

9/30/24 4:03pm

Refs didn’t make us drop balls or misfire passes….

cajuncoug

9/30/24 6:53pm

There was also an illegal block in the back committed against Batty on Baylor's

That play was right in front of me. An atrocious no call.

Preppy

9/30/24 8:14pm

Ya, but still, that draw play play after the time out about killed me.

CascadeBYUFan

Running it up the middle had zero production.

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

9/30/24 4:04pm

True. It would have been nice to try some screens or toss/sweep outside.

Captain Rex

9/30/24 4:07pm

They tried a screen to chase without success. We don't really have good sweep

runnincoug

9/30/24 4:08pm

We had another WR screen set up for Kingston but he dropped it. Would have gone

Boring

9/30/24 6:00pm

Yes thank you

runnincoug

9/30/24 6:55pm

Except for when it resulted in a touchdown earlier in the game

I'm talking 2nd half after injuries on the O-line.

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

What team doesn't prepare for nor know how to handle pressure?

mudpupper

9/30/24 4:04pm

They know how to handle it, which is why they were trying to push the ball

Rise Against

9/30/24 4:07pm

And despite the pressure...no QB sacks allowed. The more i hear about what adjustments were really made, the more I'm

Preppy

For as good of a game as Lassiter had, he also had some sorry drops.

Soupie

9/30/24 11:42pm

Yes. Dropped balls. I remember 4 of them. The PI that wasn't called, and the flop. Plus, 2 INT.

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

10/1/24 6:46pm

but WHY WAS AROD RUNNING THE BALL ON 2nd DOWN!!!!

runnincoug

10/1/24 7:45pm

The players didn't execute. Lassiter's drops alone dramatically affected us

The Dark Knight

9/30/24 4:10pm

Such a frustrating drop. He was killing it for us, and then that was a gimme

Rise Against

9/30/24 4:13pm

He had 3 drops, I think. All in the 2H. It was wild.

The Dark Knight

9/30/24 4:19pm

Two easy drops and a 3rd that was high but he got hands on it.

Cougarbib

9/30/24 10:46pm

Yep and on the same drive.

Soupie

9/30/24 11:42pm

Kingston had a big drop too.

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

10/1/24 6:47pm

Where did ARod say they didn’t prepare?

Abe Froman

9/30/24 4:13pm

so you decided to disregard the entire post, but still replied to it. Well done

In fairness, this is CB

If you read his post, it was followed by different things they were trying to do to counter it

darkcoug

9/30/24 4:13pm

Because that's what good teams (like BYU and conference opponents) do. They innovate

kccougar

Aris about excuses. Hill

Love Cougs

9/30/24 6:43pm

ARod is more about excuses. Hill, not so much!

Love Cougs

9/30/24 6:44pm

This post didn't say anything about that

MaximusMeridius

9/30/24 8:01pm

The double pass was especially painful because it was wide open

Belboz

9/30/24 4:13pm

Seems like they allow a lot more PI contact on trick plays. Should be called the

ybecausethatswhy

9/30/24 4:14pm

ARod said there was a lot of defensive holding that wasn't called.

Captain Rex

9/30/24 4:17pm

How did Baylor get 8 sacks against CU without bringing pressure? CU’s OL must

RocketCoug

9/30/24 4:27pm

"almost every down"

The Dark Knight

9/30/24 4:56pm

Do u realize we had our starting center and 3 other OL injured?

Cougarbib

9/30/24 10:51pm

And Baylor still did not get a sack against us. Our line must be awesome if

RocketCoug

Sitake said that last year, cant make adjustments cause it wasnt in the film.

That's not what he said.

Seems like a lame excuse

Real Men Wear Blue

9/30/24 5:10pm

What did he say that was an excuse? Explanations are not exuses.

molodyets

9/30/24 5:13pm

Data to support your claim?

HarlemCoug

9/30/24 6:04pm

Of course not.

Belboz

9/30/24 6:10pm

My opinion. THAT’S WORSE! It wasn’t strategy, it was ineptitude

palangi

9/30/24 5:58pm

It's ARods fault guys dropped passes and Jake missed a couple throws?

molodyets

9/30/24 6:17pm

I mean, sort of but the criticism should be correct

fattycoug

9/30/24 6:36pm

What passes were dropped in the 2nd half?

palangi

9/30/24 6:51pm

Marion had at least 2 drops and that is taking about 4 seconds to think after seeing this post.

TheLoneCougar

9/30/24 6:54pm

Kingston on a screen...Lassiter 3x

runnincoug

9/30/24 6:54pm

Seriously? Did you even watch the game?

StantonMac

9/30/24 8:10pm

In the 2nd half?

palangi

9/30/24 8:35pm

Yes. Multiple drops throughout the 2nd half that helped kill drives.

StantonMac

9/30/24 9:25pm

Lassiter’s one drop across the middle at the 45 would’ve changed the whole 2half

blackandblue

9/30/24 9:27pm

Sure, but we may as well stick with reality when we complain

Belboz

10/1/24 11:33am

Yes, but A-Rod and Retz need to get the Tight Ends involved more. Way underused

bad84cougar

9/30/24 6:05pm

Our QB is 6'1 with a sidearm sling. We are not throwing over the middle with

9/30/24 8:40pm

Hill has been dropping passes all season. Not a go to guy as tight end yet.

Swanson is still recovering from an injury and that’s why he’s been used

Kalani brought that up at the end of his presser as well...out of the blue...

icecougar

9/30/24 7:22pm

Why change our approach to something other than what was working in the 1st?

RenoCoug

9/30/24 9:49pm

Uh we did push the ball downfield in the first half

molodyets

9/30/24 10:08pm

Seriously? Defenses adjust. Especially at half-time.
