it's the 2nd half fade that worries me.

We'll be up by 20 points in the 3rd, and our offense will disappear. 2 straight 3s and out. Two td possessions by Colorado, and suddenly it's a 7 point game with 7 minutes left. Finally A-Rod pulls his head out of his butt, as he's extremely adept at doing just enough to avoid getting canned, and we go down and kick a field goal to go up by 10 with 3 and a half minutes left. We win by 3.

Colorado big lead first half. We come back just short.

So, a repeat of ASU?

ASU/Ku combo.

That seems to be a pattern

Duke Silver

Yes, why is that pattern so prevalent for BYU???

BYU way ahead 1st half much more common. Probably double this year. Only 3 teams

Lose by 4. Last play 1 yard short of a TD.

BYU has a poor offensive half followed by a mediocre offensive half.

Dec 17, 3:13pm

Followed by unreasonable dialogue by ARod apologists.

Dec 17, 3:14pm

Yeah, Lassiter will drop a ball on a critical third down

Belboz

More likely a fade that never gets near our player.

Dec 17, 3:35pm

Roderick throws bad passes, drops balls, misses blocks, and tackles

Belboz

Dec 17, 3:39pm

No, he’s perfect. The only good part of our team.

Dec 17, 3:41pm

It has to be one extreme or the other. That's how we think.

Belboz

Dec 17, 3:45pm

Apparently, you might figure it out someday though. Good luck.

Dec 17, 3:46pm

We don’t have the offense to score enough and having an injured OL doesn’t help

And surely accompanied by abundant histrionics from the Arod critics

We jump to an early lead, slow game to a crawl to limit possessions, and hold on

Bandit

Dec 17, 3:15pm

People will hate it, but if BYU jumps out to a lead, that's the best gameplan

CPAcoug87

Colorado will figure out our defense, even if it takes them 3+ quarters.

Dec 17, 3:23pm

Colorado has the worst run game in college football. They're one-dimensional, and I think Hill

Rush stats are bad but I felt like their run game came together toward the end

I hear they have a pretty good wide receiver and a pretty good cornerback.

Had a dream last night it was BYU 42-20 in the third quarter. Hope that is true

Dec 17, 3:20pm

then we'll win, 45-41

Dec 17, 3:24pm

Not sure if you’re joking or serious but either way, that’s probably accurate

We start out slow. BYU responds 2nd half after Tyler Batty locker room speech.

Horrible matchup for us. Closing my eyes and hoping for the best.

Not sure I agree. They have a really good passing offense, but we have a pretty good

I agree with you mostly, but don't think their D sucks

Dec 17, 3:54pm

You’re right on the passing but I think they’ve got a passing attack like we haven’t seen. I think their D is pretty

Ditto. I think they are more explosive than others we have played.

Interesting take. Hans Olsen said it was a really good matchup for BYU before

Our offensive line makes me not optimistic. We're not healthy on the O-line.

We are gonna struggle vs their speed on both sides of the ball. We need to score a bunch to keep up, not something our O

Colorado gets out on us early and ultimately just outscores us

cajuncoug

Not sure I agree with that score but the scenario sadly feels likely to me.
