I am NOT an A Rod fan but that was a well defended play

That was getting picked no matter who threw it. We probably should have run it more on those blue zone opportunities but that isn’t the point we are debating here.

Here’s why the Bohanon play is 100% on A-Rod

jordbyu

Here’s why it wasn’t

LeonMarek

12/28/24 7:20pm

Thank you

Big Daddy D

12/28/24 7:21pm

And it was only double coverage because the pass was badly underthrown

ldssdl

12/28/24 7:23pm

Exactly! Throw it 10 yards longer and it's an easy TD with no one close.

RUNBYU1

12/29/24 12:09am

Gerry should have tucked and run when it wasn't open... like Taysom as a freshmn

runnincoug

12/28/24 7:24pm

I was half expecting him to

LeonMarek

12/28/24 7:26pm

100 percent this

cougarmikey

12/28/24 8:15pm

It was wide open...he threw it 10 yards short.

RUNBYU1

12/29/24 12:09am

Needed to put it at the back corner and it’s a TD

1984coug

12/29/24 12:12am

Interesting... I'd need to watch the replay. If so totally on Gerry not arod

runnincoug

12/29/24 8:35am

Yep go watch it...pretty indisputable. Just a way short throw.

RUNBYU1

12/29/24 5:58pm

Thrown a full second too late

deljdc

12/28/24 7:26pm

Because Arod never makes mistakes only his players.

rebelCoug

12/28/24 7:29pm

He absolutely does, this wasn’t one of them.

here's to hoping

12/28/24 8:42pm

We'll just have to agree to disagree on that. Imho, it was a bad play call.

rebelCoug

12/28/24 8:49pm

There’s a reason Bohannon’s not QB one and he shouldn’t be out there throwing

KYU

12/28/24 7:30pm

So we should never do throw trick plays then? Because Kingston isn’t qb1?

LeonMarek

12/28/24 7:34pm

Bad call by Arod. Bad decision by GB to not run to the wide open right

mindzeYe

12/28/24 9:15pm

It was Make-a-Wish day for Bohannon and Ta’ase

stoils

12/28/24 9:32pm

Even with that, the ball was 10 yards underthrown. Roberts was open.

RUNBYU1

12/29/24 12:08am

Didn’t grossly under throw it

icecougar

12/29/24 12:24am

What are you talking about, it was easily 10 yards short. 30+ feet! Look at

RUNBYU1

12/29/24 6:00pm

No, it was on gbo. It's ok to admit it was a bad throw

SUAVO

12/28/24 7:20pm

This exactly. People can’t see it. Blinded by arod hate

chitownboy

12/28/24 7:22pm

By the QB you’ve had no confidence in all year so you made him 2nd string &

jordbyu

12/28/24 7:23pm

You assume that was the only throw he could have made, and you assume Arod knew

LeonMarek

12/28/24 7:24pm

No, he is supposed to see an obvious defender and throw it away or throw it long

SUAVO

12/28/24 7:24pm

Yes. But see my point #2 in my original post. You have to assume Gerry is

jordbyu

12/28/24 7:28pm

No, you don't assume your QB is going to make massive mistake. Talk about

SUAVO

12/28/24 7:35pm

I love how people equate no confidence to 2nd string. There is confidence. He

chitownboy

12/28/24 7:26pm

Yet a good throw would have been a touchdown

Unibro

12/28/24 7:21pm

100% That coulda woulda shoulda been a touchdown pass. It just wasn't.

BYUDM93

12/28/24 11:49pm

It was a full 10 yards underthrown

RUNBYU1

12/29/24 12:11am

Yes, that was my point. The throw just wasn't what it needed to be. The TD was

BYUDM93

12/29/24 2:34pm

He didn’t force anything just way underthrew it. Roberts was open

Beggar

12/28/24 7:21pm

He was open 4 seconds before the throw.

shammy

12/28/24 7:22pm

This!

RUNBYU1

12/29/24 12:11am

We have some dummm fans

Big Daddy D

12/28/24 7:22pm

Yup

RGGeemer

12/28/24 7:22pm

Bohannon threw the pass. He didn't see the defender

Belboz

12/28/24 7:22pm

It was a really unique coverage. In theory, the only defender GBo was looking

Ghost of Peanut

12/28/24 7:27pm

lol every prepared team will know

ALC

12/28/24 7:23pm

Bohannon didnt have a goaline snap

Charles Darwin

12/28/24 7:23pm

He ran a keeper down to the 1 yard line. I’d call that “goal line” by my standar

jordbyu

12/28/24 7:24pm

It was from the 12 yard line. That isn’t goal line by any definition.

Charles Darwin

12/28/24 7:27pm

Way under thrown. Make the throw and it is a TD.

O Gaucho

12/28/24 7:23pm

Way under thrown by your backup QB you haven’t trusted to throw more than 3

jordbyu

12/28/24 7:25pm

Who had other routes he could have thrown to

LeonMarek

12/28/24 7:29pm

You are making stuff up. Retz is a better QB doesn't mean he didn't trust GB

johnnybyu

12/29/24 1:38am

Pretty sure the pass was supposed to go to Retzlaff, but Bohanon misread it

CougPrime

12/28/24 7:25pm

Retzlaff didn't get a free release. CU defender went with him.

Spiff

12/28/24 10:21pm

There was a defender ~7 yards downfield. Wouldn’t have been a big gain. I don’t think Bohanon even looked that way.

CougPrime

12/28/24 10:28pm

Bohanan was the only open player. had to tuck and run

here's to hoping

12/28/24 10:33pm

100%

FT487

12/28/24 7:25pm

Yea, but throw was under thrown.

Blue for Life

12/28/24 7:26pm

They are just trying to get him in to cap off his career with a reward No biggie

ImuaKahuku

12/28/24 8:13pm

100% ?? Point to where ARod has hurt you.

cougarmikey

12/28/24 8:15pm

Who cares...it is a bowl game and GBOs last game of his college career.

TheLoneCougar

12/28/24 8:17pm

If he puts enough into that throw, it’s a TD. He underthrew it. Good call. Poor

King of Y

12/28/24 8:34pm

CB is undefeated in horrible takes. Great example right here

MaximusMeridius

12/28/24 8:42pm

Get a life. BYU has had high success rate on trick plays. Nothing costly today

NYC and Japan

12/28/24 8:42pm

Glad he got him in the game. Great job Arod

12/28/24 9:16pm

Give it up. Enjoy the ride. Love the team

germm

12/28/24 9:16pm

Hahahahah this is hilarious!! Hahahaha. One of the dumbest takes

bookofdaniel

12/28/24 9:25pm

Eye roll this take into oblivion

C-dubb

12/28/24 9:25pm

Give it up. You will be happier when you give up the bias!

I am NOT an A Rod fan but that was a well defended play

runningryan

12/28/24 10:19pm

Rewatched this a couple of times. bad play design, not so much the throw...

Canusa

12/28/24 10:22pm

GB could've booked it on the ground to the right side as well

mindzeYe

12/30/24 11:31am

Yup

Canusa

12/30/24 12:33pm

Give it a rest

fatcracker

12/28/24 10:37pm

When a player has a choice whether to throw the ball, it's never 100% on the OC

LifeLongLakerFan

12/28/24 10:41pm

It was great call. It was not executed well and the pass was late coming out.

MrGeneric

12/28/24 10:53pm

Who are the 48 people that gave this a thumbs up? GB underthrew the pass. Arod
