This game really should have been a blowout for BYU but the 2nd half

was a different game. BYU offense slowed and the defense couldn't pressure Dart. Ended up being a really good stop on 4th down to end the game with USC driving the ball looking like they were going to score inside the red zone.

This was a huge gutsy call by KS...

I didn't like the decision.

It may have won us the game

Sure, but I didn't know that at the time and we don't know result of alternative

Especially if you have a back like Allgeier, a good O-line, it’s the right call.

I liked the decision but hated the result. Wait, what are we talking about here?

Gutsy to trust the data? Just because old timers don't like it doesn't mean it's

Having beast mode Allgeier was the only data point needed

I think it was both gutsy and the right decision. Coaches are afraid of making the tough decisions and play not to lose

Agreed. And good for whoever picked the call to go straight ahead with TA

BYU had one of the highest 4th down attempt rates in the nation last year (23rd)

How successful were we?

66.7% (18th) BYU was 2 for 5 vs UAB and 1 of 3 vs Boise State, though...

one of those Boise 4th downs was at the 5, right after our fumble at the 10

I'd put my life on Allgeier gaining 1 yard, even if the D knows it is coming.

Frustrating to watch the run D through the rest of those highlights.

Run D was so bad in so many games. Just brutal to watch.

Run Defense and Pass Defense was absolutely atrocious in that game

There are lots of outdated sports sayings like don't take points off the board

One of my favorite things about Sitake is that he goes for it on 4th down a lot.

Gutsy, but it is what you do when you have a great OL and an NFL running back. You trust them.

With Allgeier? Take that shot all day long.

The oline destroyed them

TA, JH = $; USC O = talent; BYU = mostly hot garbage that day

The throw by hall at 7:45 was beautiful too.

Real guts is faking a punt on 4th and long from your own goal line.

I thought you were going to reference going for it on 4th and 11 against Utah.
