If the offense plays like that, it will happen again a few times like it did last year. He hasn’t shown that he is a D-1 quarterback.

I keep hearing that the offensive staff didn't hold Retzlaff accountable for his turnovers...

It was a good win. You are honestly saying stuff to try to make you feel better

The line was a joke. Anyone who looked closely at SMU

Yep, because Vegas knows nothing about setting the betting line

Often, the line has nothing to do with the actual results

You don’t think Vegas sets the line on the probability of the outcome either

It would have been coaching malpractice not to switch to Jennings.

If we had an RB or WS fumbling the ball like Retzlaff they'd never see the field

Not to forget that we have 2 other QBs behind GB that have solid D-1 experience

Who also are not perfect. Hillstead is TO prone and Bourguet is inaccurate

Well, Retzlaff is both of those things.

The defender fell down, but as he got up, recognized that it was a screen pass and moved over into the throwing lane.

Sure, it was a good play by the defender but I'm not sure even Tom Brady would have seen him

Sep 7, 7:49am

When did Brady throw blindly to a spot he couldn’t see? Retzlaff has 2 picks in

So Brady never threw a pick? He didn't throw blindly. The receiver was open and half way through his throwing motion,

Basically everyone on the BYUTV postgame show said it was a fluke too so there is that. It's not just random CBers.

The frustration is that BYU fans knew that QB needed to be addressed this year

JoeExotic

Sep 7, 7:45am

I'm not sure what could have been done. It seems that they had it probably the best option they could

Adrielle

Sep 7, 7:48am

No one is asking for a freshman QB - we wanted a transfer QB that was good

I seem to remember a push to get Sam Leavitt but obviously that didn't work

I don’t blame Leavitt

SMU is not a bowl eligible team. Don't fool yourself into thinking BYU just shocked th world overcoming a 11.5 pt spread

What do you mean, not bowl eligible? Are that on probation again?

Adrielle

Sep 7, 7:53am

They will not win 6 games this season, rendering them bowl ineligible. You have to win 6 games to go to a bowl.

Maybe. Maybe not. BYU maybe exposed their problems on the o line, but I think their defense is actually good. Hans
