Retzlaff gets the blame for last 4 games, but you won't win giving up 38 points

When your entire team stinks, the blame starts to point to one person

This guy?

I doubt it. That guy's pure muscle.

I believe the thought is the previous defensive staff left little talent behind to work with.

But you will get the blame for throwing a 99 yrd INT against OU and not scoring

Especially when play calling showed these problems in other games.

People bent over backwards to praise the defense as much as possible last year

Both sides of the ball had weak lines and I don’t see any improvement

The offensive line was much better at run blocking in the final few games

I like Retzlaff. Sure, he made some major mistakes, but he also

Team seemed mentally and physically worn down the past 4-5 games

We aren't blaming the defense as much because changes were made there, it will

I don't blame him for the game results any more than anyone else on the roster

Jun 26, 2:44pm

The offense could not move the ball.

Who isn't blaming both sides of the ball on the losses last year? The issue is..

Turnovers were a big cause in the losses. A bunch of those came close to our own endzone too. 🙁

I'll add that not all of the turnovers were Retzlaff's fault.

Lots of blown assignments on offense

Retzlaff was only a Soph and thrown into BYU's toughest stretch so I'll hold off on condemning him and branding him as a

Well when you don’t have an O line that can block and an uncoordinated and disjointed offense

always a team effort, but throwing a pick six at 1st and goal at the 2 is very hard to erase in fans' minds.

While true, Retzlaff alone shoulders the blame for the Oklahoma loss

Playing from behind forces you to throw more. Defense lacked depth.

He was the lowest rated player on the entire offense 😬

QBR was in the 30's and 40's, not good enough to win. Plus defense was improved

here's to hoping

Jun 26, 8:37pm

Was the defense improved?? Look at the stats. Offense and defense sucked bad.

The two seasons are very difficult to compare. First, our offense was OK in 2022
