ARod said they were trying to push the ball downfield in the 2nd half

Captain Rex

I can't believe they didn't call PI on the double pass

Darzog

For real!

Refs didn’t make us drop balls or misfire passes….

There was also an illegal block in the back committed against Batty on Baylor's

That play was right in front of me. An atrocious no call.

Preppy

Ya, but still, that draw play play after the time out about killed me.

CascadeBYUFan

Running it up the middle had zero production.

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

Sep 30, 4:04pm

True. It would have been nice to try some screens or toss/sweep outside.

Captain Rex

Sep 30, 4:07pm

They tried a screen to chase without success. We don't really have good sweep

Sep 30, 4:08pm

We had another WR screen set up for Kingston but he dropped it. Would have gone

Yes thank you

Except for when it resulted in a touchdown earlier in the game

I'm talking 2nd half after injuries on the O-line.

What team doesn't prepare for nor know how to handle pressure?

mudpupper

Sep 30, 4:04pm

They know how to handle it, which is why they were trying to push the ball

Rise Against

Sep 30, 4:07pm

And despite the pressure...no QB sacks allowed. The more i hear about what adjustments were really made, the more I'm

For as good of a game as Lassiter had, he also had some sorry drops.

Soupie

Sep 30, 11:42pm

Yes. Dropped balls. I remember 4 of them. The PI that wasn't called, and the flop. Plus, 2 INT.

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

Oct 1, 6:46pm

but WHY WAS AROD RUNNING THE BALL ON 2nd DOWN!!!!

runnincoug

Oct 1, 7:45pm

The players didn't execute. Lassiter's drops alone dramatically affected us

The Dark Knight

Sep 30, 4:10pm

Such a frustrating drop. He was killing it for us, and then that was a gimme

Rise Against

Sep 30, 4:13pm

He had 3 drops, I think. All in the 2H. It was wild.

The Dark Knight

Sep 30, 4:19pm

Yep and on the same drive.

Soupie

Sep 30, 11:42pm

Kingston had a big drop too.

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

Where did ARod say they didn’t prepare?

Abe Froman

so you decided to disregard the entire post, but still replied to it. Well done

If you read his post, it was followed by different things they were trying to do to counter it

Sep 30, 4:13pm

Because that's what good teams (like BYU and conference opponents) do. They innovate

Aris about excuses. Hill

ARod is more about excuses. Hill, not so much!

Love Cougs

Sep 30, 6:44pm

This post didn't say anything about that

MaximusMeridius

Sep 30, 8:01pm

The double pass was especially painful because it was wide open

Belboz

Sep 30, 4:13pm

Seems like they allow a lot more PI contact on trick plays. Should be called the

ybecausethatswhy

Sep 30, 4:14pm

ARod said there was a lot of defensive holding that wasn't called.

How did Baylor get 8 sacks against CU without bringing pressure? CU’s OL must

Sitake said that last year, cant make adjustments cause it wasnt in the film.

Seems like a lame excuse

Real Men Wear Blue

What did he say that was an excuse? Explanations are not exuses.

molodyets

Sep 30, 5:13pm

Data to support your claim?

HarlemCoug

Sep 30, 6:04pm

Of course not.

Belboz

Sep 30, 6:10pm

My opinion. THAT’S WORSE! It wasn’t strategy, it was ineptitude

palangi

Sep 30, 5:58pm

It's ARods fault guys dropped passes and Jake missed a couple throws?

molodyets

Sep 30, 6:17pm

I mean, sort of but the criticism should be correct

fattycoug

Sep 30, 6:36pm

What passes were dropped in the 2nd half?

palangi

Sep 30, 6:51pm

Marion had at least 2 drops and that is taking about 4 seconds to think after seeing this post.

TheLoneCougar

Sep 30, 6:54pm

Kingston on a screen...Lassiter 3x

runnincoug

Sep 30, 6:54pm

Seriously? Did you even watch the game?

StantonMac

Sep 30, 8:10pm

In the 2nd half?

palangi

Sep 30, 8:35pm

Yes. Multiple drops throughout the 2nd half that helped kill drives.

StantonMac

Sep 30, 9:25pm

Lassiter’s one drop across the middle at the 45 would’ve changed the whole 2half

blackandblue

Sep 30, 9:27pm

Sure, but we may as well stick with reality when we complain

Belboz

Oct 1, 11:33am

Yes, but A-Rod and Retz need to get the Tight Ends involved more. Way underused

Kalani brought that up at the end of his presser as well...out of the blue...

Why change our approach to something other than what was working in the 1st?

Uh we did push the ball downfield in the first half
