I saw a ton of comments of fans whining that Retzlaff would be horrible

before the start of the season.

Admittedly, I was not even high on Retzlaff, but it was ignorant for anyone to assume he wouldn't have improved from last year to this. I was expecting improvement, and he has definitely improved. Exceeded my expectations even.

Say what you will about ARod and his play calling...

HeismanTy

He is significantly better. So let’s have Ropati take a stab at passing to see what he-OH NO what just happened?!?

byuTX

11:13am

A clear missed PI happened.

11:14am

You mean “ignored” . . . There was no way you could miss that one

2FarGone

11:15am

Yep that was a big missed call and very dumb. Not as dumb as the play call though

byuTX

11:16am

Honestly, the throw wasn’t even close to the tripped player

Heath Squashwell

11:16am

It was uncatchable. The throw was 5yards in the opposite direction the receiver

Pepe

11:17am

and caught by the guy that tackled Lassiter. So clearly NOT uncatchable

Kajdin

12:26pm

I’ll have to rewatch it, but I think it was caught by the guy that threw him

11:28am

Totally, but it was also one of the worst passes I have seen thrown all season

Jericho

11:29am

A clear hold on Lassiter. He’s behind the defender and probably catches it

B Blue

11:35am

Doesn’t change the fact that Ropati threw it like a 10 year old pop warner QB.

12:01pm

I feel like the average CBer could have made a better pass

Jericho

12:10pm

I think if Ropatis throw was closer to our player, it would’ve had a better

ok, Retzlaff improvement >>>>>>> one bad play call

HeismanTy

11:16am

Correct. Also making one more joke on a boring Sunday >>>>>>> not making one more joke on a boring Sunday

byuTX

11:17am

Fair

HeismanTy

12:45pm

More like Retzlaff improvement>>>getting too cute too often

2:33pm

Critiquing this is fine as long as you also critique the other 90% of the time

11:19am

That's not how byuTX rolls. That glass is always going to be at least 5% empty.

Indy Coug

11:20am

Former QB Parker Kingston? Yes. Ropati? No. Especially when we can run at will

byuTX

11:21am

Newsflash: half the team, including Ropati, played QB at some point in their

11:29am

The problem was the play got blown up and Ropati got hit as he threw

Indy Coug

11:30am

He decided to throw it no matter what. He’s not practicing @ QB under pressure and doesn’t have the reps to know to eat

byuTX

11:33am

It’s amusing that you think you know how the play was practiced.

11:38am

I think I wasn’t clear with my point. I don’t think he has had enough time and

byuTX

11:38am

Perhaps, and just hear me out, they practiced it the same way every play is

11:45am

I’m sure they practiced it a bunch. But he clearly messed it up and didn’t have the experience, wherewithal or instinct

byuTX

11:48am

Not in a game that matters and Definitely not Ropati. Horrible play call

byuTX

11:32am

This is definitely not true

11:43am

You can't only do Kingston ... the defense will know and that's too predictable

runnincoug

1:50pm

I do critique the times it works if they seemed unnecessary at the time. Why not

2:34pm

It definitely appears that somebody kidnapped ARod a few games ago.

11:14am

I wonder how the O-line figures in to that.

11:14am

A huge reason for improved QB play is Coach Woods and the O-line.

CopperLix

11:22am

The game is "slowing down" for Jake in large part because he has more time to make decisions due to improved OL play.

Spiff

11:52am

He was given help in the off-season hiring

travelcoug

11:15am

What help are you referring too?

SnickSnack

11:17am

Two assistants with extensive play calling experience and a run game coordinator

travelcoug

11:29am

Still has head scratchers, like having Ropati throw the halfback pass 😑

NOCAL_YFAN

BYU's qb development is excellent. Any doubts about that should be put to rest permanently.

The most comical criticism I see repeated about BYU’s offense is simply the

Jericho

He was rough, but he wasn't nearly as bad as you would think after reading the gloom and doom on cb.

Black Diamond Bay

Certainly the fumble problem has been taken care of.

Scooter

11:55am

A few head scratchers but the offense moved the ball well and scored a lot

he's put three straight, 3-star QBs into the NFL...that's impressive development
