I agree that shortening the game (from the start) was not a great plan...

Benfica1 Intervention Needed

because BYU was behind. That said, BYU had chances to win... even at the very end.

If BYU avoids one of the two turn-overs (bad play and unlucky play), they win. It's as easy as that. Sometimes crap happens.

I haven't been this upset with coaching in a long time.

The Y's Insider

11:05am

Fade route and option were both audible. Both coach and player deserve some

BYUheaven

11:07am

It was an audible but maybe he was coached to audible into that play if there

MaximusMeridius

Do our TE’s ever get double covered?

BYUheaven

12:20pm

I bet it hasn't really been that long.

shoganai

link?

The Y's Insider

Were you happy with the coaching in the previous 9-0 run? If not, maybe consider

Socrates Johnson

11:08am

So you liked our strategy to eat clock?

The Y's Insider

11:10am

Answer my question and I will answer yours.

Socrates Johnson

The Y's Insider

I think the answer below is my answer. We were getting almost 5 YPC and pass pro

Socrates Johnson

11:23am

We ran the ball effectively and got first downs. If we would have broke off

NYCougz

11:13am

If the defense gives you 4-5 yards per play on a drive, you take it

Skeptical Optimist

11:13am

when you aren't putting points on the board, you have to move off it

stansburycoug

2:53pm

There has been a vocal contingent on this board w/coaching concerns all along

reddead

12:07pm

I don't care that we are 9-1 Arod is a bad coach. He has more years of bad coach

Grock

2:01pm

I remember fans calling for Chow's head... because he was a 'bad coach'.

Benfica1

2:10pm

I thought this before this year. I've moved off of bad coach. He's an ok coach

stansburycoug

2:59pm

I agree. He's a solid coach for a middle of the pack Big XII team

reddead

3:06pm

No, I was not

baller_jayz

12:19pm

irrelevant take.

Love Cougs

3:01pm

Do you think we were trying to run out the clock or just taking what the defense

NYCougz

11:11am

We routinely snapped the ball with 2-4 seconds on the play clock.

The Y's Insider

11:12am

And sometimes more. We aren’t a hurry up offense.

NYCougz

11:14am

Shortening the game invites more luck/variability into the outcome. If Kalani is

royal_blue

11:11am

Because something happens, that doesn’t mean it was our strategy.

NYCougz

11:16am

If people have a link to this being a strategy

NYCougz

11:35am

So there's this thing called a play clock. The more seconds that go by between

royal_blue

11:58am

So when we threw 50 yard bombs in the first half

NYCougz

12:47pm

We ran clock. Deliberately. Idk how to put it more simply than that.

royal_blue

12:56pm

You are saying we wanted less possessions to shrink the game.

NYCougz

1:06pm

Look at how many seconds elapsed off the play clock when it was running vs

royal_blue

2:36pm

So if we speed up 2 seconds that might add 2 minutes?

NYCougz

2:42pm

It might be mercy that we lost the game and will miss the playoffs, could you

CameronG

11:27am

That was the gameplan I might expect vs. Alabama or Georgia.

The Y's Insider

11:37am

They'd get blown off the field with that gameplan

CameronG

11:40am

We beat SMU, we could beat those teams. Kalani has a descent bowl record

NYC and Japan

12:51pm

No way, if Kalani and Co got so scared of playing 3-6 Kansas at home that they

CameronG

1:26pm

They were scared? What does that mean?

NYCougz

1:35pm

Yes they were scared at the thought of getting blown out so they went super

CameronG

1:53pm

How many games have we been scarred?

NYCougz

1:59pm

That's a good question for them, but based on the way the team played and the

CameronG

2:10pm

So how many games scared? It just started this game?

NYCougz

2:13pm

Running the ball in the redzone isn't a bad idea I more have an issue with the

CameronG

2:28pm

I don’t like the jet sweep at all on second down as well

NYCougz

2:36pm

Play calling on the last drive wasn't as bad as I originally thought.

runnincoug

11:16am

I agree. I wanted us to throw on 2nd down, but hindsight is 20/20.

The Y's Insider

11:18am

yes, agreed. As Chase said, we played with fire too much.

runnincoug

11:23am

Slow-developing option to the boundary side... SMH

reddead

12:09pm

Funny, I thought it was brilliant to eat clock and keep their strength (Daniels

SV72 Sale

11:17am

With how the game had been going, I found it unwise to waste so much clock.

Yucatan

11:22am

I think the plan at HT was to dominate in the trenches

NYCougz

11:29am

I might agree except we ran nearly 40 seconds between each snap.

The Y's Insider

11:35am

We have done that a lot this season.

NYCougz

11:37am

No. Don't get cute. Score and turn it to the D.

Love Cougs

3:04pm

That’s hardly getting cute. That’s what most coaches strive to do

SV72 Sale

3:24pm

I think it was late, they were tired and cold, and just wanted to get to bed

I agree that shortening the game (from the start) was not a great plan...

Benfica1

11:43am

Seems as though coaching has lost confidence in the offense, specifically

notsofast

11:43am

Fade route was the correct call, given the defensive look

Homo Erectus

11:53am

That's just not true. A fade route is among the highest difficulty throws in FB.

Ferb

12:31pm

We were gashing them in the run game. WHY THROW THE BALL????

Rocketman

1:49pm

Quite the overreaction. I have been far more upset with our coaches decades

Cougz19

12:12pm

Well Grimes is on the other side which may have played a factor in our scheme

ElkaholicCoug

12:44pm

Do you think ARod should have considered Kansas’s elite secondary?

conetah

12:58pm

Don't let it ruin your day. It's just sports.

IronPotato

1:01pm

Why the whole slow play on offense was such a dumb game plan

byublue42

1:38pm

So true, we're not a team itching to blow the opponent out - but...

BYUFootballRocks1

Kalani = DAWG Jay = DAWG Poppinga = DAWG

baller_jayz

1:51pm

Much easier to just accept who BYU is. It is difficult to be disappointed for

indocoug

This is just who Arod is folks
