Worst excuse in football. Most games are decided by 1 or 2 plays. Flame away
but we would all be singing a different tune had we lost the game.
And no I never trust a kicker if I can't help it.
Think back to the 2010 Utah game. We trusted our kicker and where did that get us?
NEVER TRUST A KICKER!

OK here's every BYU play of the 2nd half. When did BYU get "too conservative"?

Around 1:50 left in the 4th quarter and it was the right decision.

I seem to recall a couple run plays on 3rd and 7 or more.

There was one.

And that was right before the missed FG & run game wasn't having success anyway

One was on 3rd and 20+? Yes, BYU conceded that drive, and it was the right thing to do.

There was another right before Ferrin missed the FG.

Not conservative to me, certainly the run game struggled with some new personnel

All done with a 3rd string center and freshmen running backs that are less experienced blockers.

Thanks for this. The histrionics on here can be really loud sometimes.

“Never trust a kicker.” Dude made a 54 yarder earlier in the game, right?

OK, so your entire complaint rests on 1 play? Man, you're a harsh critic.

INT in the 4th was a real bummer. How can we learn to gain 2 yards on 3rd down?

Calling a run on 2nd/3rd down and long is just dumb. It takes a bad situation
