Trevor Matich: "I think the coaching staff was right to stay with Jake"

Monday damage control — covering for Weekend Matich.

IMO Matich is pretty plain spoken when BYU has issues.

...& has to smooth things over a day or two later, often. I like Jake a lot

Yeah, he is usually pretty honest.

Rd my post again. Damage control for his own words over the weekend. He actually does it quite a bit.

SinkingQuffa

Did Matich call for Jake to be benched over the weekend?

Greg4BYU

Sep 9, 2:38pm

His words were pretty plain — that QB performance wasn't satisfactory. And it wasn't.

SinkingQuffa

Sep 9, 2:40pm

...but he didn't call for the backup

Greg4BYU

He insinuated a failing grade for Jake. Is that really much better?

SinkingQuffa

Do you a link or video clip to those comments?

Watched it on TV — pretty sure Sat late morning. I'm sure they're easy to find.

What show? ESPN Gameday? I don’t have that recorded.

If it’s easy to correct, why is it still happening?

What Matich whispered quiet enough that it didn't get picked up:

Solid point, he was making these mistakes last year. How long do we keep seeing these easy to correct mistakes?

Maybe so... but today should be position open battle for the QB role again... that game should have triggered that

I agree they should stick with Retzlaff. Pulling QBs in and out messes with the

Switching QBs is the pits. But Jake's turnovers were supposed to improve. NOT get worse.

Know what also hurts timing? Waiting to choose a qb until the very end

Coaches also said all summer it was "neck and neck". Kalani said multiple

Notwithstanding the ever-present popularity of the backup in tough times...

Honest question, if this was the RB making the same amount of turnovers would you be okay with that? How about receivers

Feel free to use the RB equivalent to our QB committing 9 turnovers in 5 games vs P5 opponents.

1 bad game since the QB competiton

Hillstead joined way too late to be included in the QB battle. We disagree but we both hope BYU figures it out fast.

We disagree on the process more than we disagree on the QB

At some point you have to look at where someone started and where they are now, with the X variable being how much time

AltTabbins

It's deeper than turnovers. 9 three and out series. Jake was scared to death
