This is something that Bronco Mendenhall and other top coaches understand. Something funky about football.
Coach Lavell Edwards was laid back in appearance, but his assistants were strict disciplinarians, they didn't put up with lax play. They pushed players to the limit, just like Coach Mendenhall does...And player after player said that in Coach Edward's office, when decisions were being made, he was all business.
Have you noticed how laid-back BYU players now look even in pre-game warmups? Half the time there's little energy.
And it's stunning that our offensive coordinator isn't a big one for all-out attack.
I tuned in late tonight and saw what I think was our second drive. Two awesome downfield passes, then a run for 6 yards. Does the OC attack? No, he runs a DELAYED handoff just off the guard. Loss. And the loss of momentum, too. No 2-minute offense either. Inexplicable.
