OK here's every BYU play of the 2nd half. When did BYU get "too conservative"?

The Y's Insider

11:35am

Around 1:50 left in the 4th quarter and it was the right decision.

It baffles me that there are a select few on here still trying to argue that

Sitake is right. I never felt vs Baylor that BYU was not aggressive enough.

I seem to recall a couple run plays on 3rd and 7 or more.

The Dark Knight

There was one.

And that was right before the missed FG & run game wasn't having success anyway

One was on 3rd and 20+? Yes, BYU conceded that drive, and it was the right thing to do.

There was another right before Ferrin missed the FG.

Yeah, I think people imagine things that don't truly happen

Not conservative to me, certainly the run game struggled with some new personnel

For the "ARod always runs on 2nd Down" crowd: 4 runs, 5 passes on 2nd Down

I'm not sure where you got your numbers from...

My numbers are solely from the OP, so 2nd half only.

Now tell me how many people in the box for each 2nd down

StantonMac

All done with a 3rd string center and freshmen running backs that are less experienced blockers.

3 of 5 OL starters out for at least part of the game

Regardless, he doesn't have elite P4 RB speed. There was room to run.

Thanks for this. The histrionics on here can be really loud sometimes.

11:57am

And the whole argument - to me - comes down to 1 play. 3rd and 6 and we ran

“Never trust a kicker.” Dude made a 54 yarder earlier in the game, right?

Polecat

12:18pm

OK, so your entire complaint rests on 1 play? Man, you're a harsh critic.

The Y's Insider

12:21pm

Never trust ANYONE that says you can judge a game of 100+ plays by 1 play

NYC and Japan

12:46pm

Worst excuse in football. Most games are decided by 1 or 2 plays. Flame away

No game is decided by 1 or 2 plays. Every play counts. Every play impacts the

INT in the 4th was a real bummer. How can we learn to gain 2 yards on 3rd down?

For me it is the bigger picture and doesn't mean we were aggressive vs not

Contrary to popular opinion, they never got too conservative.
