AROD said in the second half, Baylor blitzed on every down, which they hadn’t

Genghis Spreads

We were also trying to milk the clock at that point. Doesn't really lead to

RGGeemer

He said he didn’t take his foot off the pedal.

Genghis Spreads

1:10pm

Yeah, I know. Just pointing out a potential strategy flaw to just flinging it.

RGGeemer

1:13pm

except for most critical play of the game where milking the clock is needed,

indocoug

The play where Roberts was being held at the sideline, but no flag was thrown?

valcorger

2:12pm

It's not hard and not a reason to fail for a half. Did he use it as an excuse

stansburycoug

1:12pm

No. He said we called plays to counteract it but we didn't execute to make them pay.

YIsForBrigham

Yeah and he’s right. Lots of screw ups. Playcalling was fine.

YOHONOMOTO

1:17pm

And the refs screwed up a couple of times

YIsForBrigham

Bottom line: We just weren’t very good on O 2nd half

cajuncoug

Care to break that down for us? Why isn’t it hard? Why isn't the opponent’s

Once they are blitzing every time it basically takes away the advantage

stansburycoug

Seems reasonable. I’m sure Pay leaving the game impacted things some as well,

Polecat

It's not just a matter of knowing whether they are blitzing every down or not.

byusage

3:46pm

You are right, but if you know its coming its much harder to disguise

stansburycoug

5:05pm

Throw over the blitz...? How's that work with a sidearm delivery?

icecougar

Thanks for chiming in Kalani, make sure to have the team ready to play since

CameronG

Look, is it so out of line to ask questions when fans make solid firm claims

Polecat

2:37pm

I'm a critic and don't think Baylor was all on Roderick but when the offense

CameronG

3:57pm

Do you watch much CFB? Very common to have a good half followed by a worse one

puntersarepeople

3:59pm

A season and a half of mostly poor offense and all is good in Zion

CameronG

4:05pm

The offense has been mostly good, not mostly poor the year

puntersarepeople

4:21pm

Other than K-State setting BYU with short fields, the offense did nothing

CameronG

4:33pm

30 ppg vs power teams and we’ve possibly faced our toughest 2 opponents.

puntersarepeople

4:40pm

The first half of Baylor was maybe ARods best half of football he s ever called

stansburycoug

5:16pm

No thanks for being 5-0 huh?

puntersarepeople

3:07pm

It puts more pressure on you when the starting C is out who calls all the

puntersarepeople

Seems that they were also down to 6th and 7th string running backs. Probably not fully adept yet on picking up blitzers.

valcorger

4:11pm

This is actually probably a bigger deal than Pay at this point

stansburycoug

5:13pm

I always thought throwing to the TE was a great way to beat the blitz.

Pollster

1:16pm

Throwing to where the blitz is coming from is usually a good way to beat it

BIG XII Coug

1:23pm

Yes and guessing wrongly where the blitz is coming from is also a great way to

YOHONOMOTO

2:02pm

It probably shook the players more than him. Clearly execution was off in the 2H

arcawley

1:16pm

Yep. Drops. Missed FG. Backups playing due to injury. Issue was execution.

ldssdl

1:31pm

Missed FG was 49 yards

Genghis Spreads

2:43pm

Yes. And he’s hit 2 from 50+ this season. He has the leg for that distance.

ldssdl

5:19pm

He dialed up multiple plays that would have made them pay for blitzing. Didn't execute them well enough.

kccougar

1:22pm

I read on PFF about Retzlaf before KState game...

Tweege

1:35pm

That might catch up to us in the next game. Az blitzed Wilson a ton

deliciousmocha

3:08pm

Correct me if I'm wrong, but BYU hasn't been down big all season.

DizzyDean

2:31pm

They did adjust play calling to account for that. He called multiple passes to make them pay. Problem was bad execution.

yapacoug

3:50pm

If blitzes are being disguised and hard to identify, then it ratchets up the degree of difficulty. Poor execution

TheLoneCougar

4:00pm

Would be interesting to see how many of those blitzes…

iknownothing

4:15pm

With our C injured on the sidelines & our lack of a dangerous RB, that was a reasonable strategy.

SinkingQuffa

My response to stuff like this

cajuncoug

Yeah cause Detmer never had bad halves
