I think we saw why in the 1st quarter

They looked absolutely awful in the first quarter. A bit of a Jekyl and Hyde team. Not sure if it's a focus issue or something else, but the Baylor in the 2nd half looked nothing like the Baylor in the 1st half, especially on defense.

2nd half baylor team is going to win a lot of games this year.

We hung on for the win, but Baylor cracked the code for our defense.

Cracked the code? Haha.

SMU & KSU couldn't get into the end zone. Baylor could. Metaphorically speaking,

Did you expect that BYU wouldn't allow a passing TD all year? I'm shocked it hadn't happened until game 5. I'd say that

Here is the thing though...I trust Hill to fix it and be ready for AZ.

Fafita and McMillan, good team, and that big RB... but the difference is that Fafita doesn't really use the run, he just

Our pass defense is our weakness. Not a secret code.

Welcome to BYU football since…well forever basically.

Our pass eff def was incredible before the Baylor game. It’s not a weakness

We hadn’t given up a TD pass in 4 games.

BYU plays increasingly better competition--

Is Baylor better than Kansas St?

Lots of factors

Having an athletic QB who can complete some passes isn't easily replicable

the view of him running for the TD was like watching Moses part the Red Sea with a little hop in the middle, made it

That describes most B12 QBs, including Arizona's

MaximusMeridius

5:23pm

But you also need an absolutely incredible receiver. Arizona doesn't have THAT.

5:33pm

They have ONE. That's it

Not moves well to extend plays but it’s with eyes down field to pass

Qb and Receivers made some great plays.

Yeah they did. Great point. They have some good WRs and they made plays.

Baylor is talented and very long. They had big dudes everywhere

BYU was dropping into coverage and rushing 3 or 4

Give credit to their QB, he was making some good plays. Also they were

Doing a corner blitz on 3rd and 14 was unnecessary

FiveTen-BuckEighty

5:25pm

Pressure on the QB on 3rd and 14 is absolutely the right call

MaximusMeridius

5:32pm

Yeah, well their QB threw it to the receiver no longer covered for a big gain

FiveTen-BuckEighty

5:37pm

Corner blitzes shouldn't result in an unmarked WR

MaximusMeridius

5:42pm

Seems like we found a new code those last few drives they couldn't crack

Slicey'J

5:38pm

I think some were expecting a lesser QB since he was a back up. That’s a 4 star QB. He’s good.

Tyler Batty also said their focus is practice that week was stopping the run

You mean playing well when we put in our backups to give the ones a rest

I sure hope Jay Hill is on CB to see this

ITSYABOI

I disagree. Baylor was playing from way behind from half way through the first

Baylors bread & butter is the run. We shut that down. 63 yards rushing.

Some of those 3rd/4th and long conversions were just incredible plays.

Hopefully you watch a lot of Big Time football, because there are a lot of teams

We were just dog tired and hot. It was 110 on the field. Jay Hill was on top

Naw the TDs were against our true freshman DBs. Playing our 1s = no TDs

We finished the game with 3 defensive stops...in a row.

Baylor made great adjustments and the receivers

The QBs we played the first 5 weeks weren’t good passers
