We need to be ready for the environment and intensity at ASU

Just want to say that LES is a remarkably good venue for college football.

If you were forced to take a chance on a new OC and couldn't go after an established P4 OC, who would it be?

Jennings just went full beast right there to get the 1st.

The amount of basketball coaches is incredible. More coaches than players.

Get used to it. We are in PROvo.

JohnnyC

Watching us play yesterday I see more hype than substance so far

Durden

TA has no rushing touches for Falcons today, just on reception. Is he hurt? No interest in them otherwise

CLCougar Intervention Needed

That's why they are losing.

I'm old enough to remember when 35 points was a good half rather than 2 complete games.

Chiefs have been losing at halftime and/or second half to virtually every team

Goliath

Following the byu plan. Luck runs out.

Chiefs make their own luck.

Surviving not thriving

Archaea

Perhaps that is by design. Just “practicing” stuff until the 4th qtr when it counts.

valcorger

4:20pm

Switching on defense seems to be leaving lanes open in the key for layups

Don Carlton

4:06pm

I’m just getting around to watching yesterday’s game of course.

Don Carlton

4:07pm

That is because they aren’t switching fast enough

Archaea

4:10pm

That’s what they’re saying on the broadcast. Either way the big guys often

Don Carlton

4:12pm

You gotta switch faster and recognize the peel

Defense seems bad. Bigs way out of position. Going to bite us in conference play

Still several games to get better before conference

I love how early season losses are better than late season losses. SMU and BSU

We've only lost to the team that just beat the #6 team in the country.

BYUtka

4:27pm

As it should be

Goliath

4:07pm

I'd go even further. I think CFP committee should factor in last 6 games of 2023

MarylandFan

4:20pm

That is part of it. BSU's loss is to the #1 team rather than a 3-6 team on your home field. Part of it is also how

Not that the rankings are made this way, but both those teams would beat us.

N8Dawg

Interesting...pretty sure we beat one of those teams this year. Weird.

SMU would beat us now if we played them.

AP doesn’t matter. We will see how the committee sees things on Tuesday.

fulano

Yes

2FarGone

Does KU winning that help us at all if we lose to ASU?

allaboutthegainz

Yes. If we end up in a 3 way tie with them and ASU, we’re in over CU

TouchdownCougars

4:02pm

Which also means we want ISU to lose again

TouchdownCougars

We didn’t blow it. Just made it a little harder.

Has Kalani hit his ceiling as a coach? Should have won the game, but the

Cosmo Kramer

3:43pm

His ceiling is as high as byu is willing to pay for coordinators…

conetah

And to clarify, paying the same coordinator more won’t make him better.

Nope. Try again.

I didn't look it up, I remember having more ten win seasons than not.

Why is this panic? It's a legit question without feeling the need to fire him.

Cosmo Kramer

He hit his ceiling last year. It's all downhill from there

Definitely. Time to fire him!

GSwarriorcoug

If so, it's probably among the ceilings of the best coaches in college football

Spindash

That is a well thought out answer. I agree with that.

Cosmo Kramer

well, he has blown through whatever ceiling this team should’ve accomplished this year

Just watched the Chase Roberts post game remarks and can’t help feeling a little ticked off at the offense.

Brisket Starter

3:30pm

So, you wanted him to lie about what he experienced?

Madam Pattirini

3:31pm

No, I wanted the offense to do the logical thing you do after a game like the Utah game.

Brisket

3:38pm

We should be ok with players telling the truth. He was ticked with themselves. He is owning the mistakes

CSoul

3:34pm

Oh please, like this is the first chance they had to learn these lessons? Like Oklahoma State and Utah meant nothing?

Brisket

Dude, you are way too overly invested in this. It’s a bunch of college kids. Relax, you didn’t just lose your net worth.

TheLoneCougar

Not surprised. Teams get fat and happy when they experience success. Hard to stay focused.....
