the safety came a step up to cover a receiver crossing the middle, had Jojo made the break, it would have been wide open. Retz would have needed to make a good throw and he would have needed to catch it, but the play was there.

Trevor Matich believes that the Hold actually help Utah more than BYU.

I had the same thought. If JoJo gets a step on him, that might be a TD throw.

IMO if the DB didn’t hold it would have likely been at least a 20 yard gain

Depends on who could have caught him. Jo Jo is fast & they stacked the box w/ few in coverage.

Which, of course, is what DBs are coached to do: grab the WR to prevent a TD

There was a safety, but Jojo would have likely gained big yardage.

I don’t know that Jake had enough time to get the ball out.

Jake’s 1st option was JoJo. If there was separation he would have hit him.

RJCOD

He did. It wasn't a lot of time, but he was looking to throw the ball as Jo Jo was starting his inside move. Jake sees

Not to mention the ball getting tipped/swatted

He was his first read. You can see him looking to JoJo while he’s being held.

There is 1 safety over the top but he comes over to help on Roberts.

RJCOD

Nov 12, 11:13am

He does, but I think if Retzlaff makes the throw he doesn't

That’s a pretty big if

Iman23

Yeah that is definitely a stretch. We don't know how open he would have gotten

This is a message board and we’re fans. We get to do hypotheticals like this.

RJCOD

Nov 12, 11:24am

True, but to say it was more advantageous to Utah is a massive stretch

Iman23

So it actually hurt Utah. Took away their chance to score.

Now your thinking.

It was man and cleared out to the right but DBs were deep

BTW I believe it was the same route and coverage that Roberts housed vs UCF

Big12Yfan

Nov 12, 11:23am

Good find. Definitely a longer developing play but same route.

RJCOD

Nov 12, 11:28am

Yeah, no. BYU was so rattled and on their heels at that point

Chase Roberts would like a word.

WillsPitStop

Thrown well it is a TD, thrown half decent a 25 yd gain

Projectoor

Nov 12, 11:33am

That doesn’t help Utah at all. Even if he’s right (which is totally speculative) and BYU scores there, Utah would have

RealTaysomHill

Nov 12, 11:51am

Remember Utah had already spent more than 45:00 of the game NOT scoring
