feel free to mock my opinion.

In your opinion AZ still had a chance?

Glasker is a revelation. He single-handedly kept Kalani from running out the

I thought the same thing.

Kalani would have ran out the clock

I'm glad he did. Arizona refused to admit the game was over, calling timeouts, etc. That pick 6 finally got them to stop

I don’t fault az either. Put his players under pressure and

Except Batty almost broke Fifita in half.

Yep. That’s got to be fun film study

Glad somebody held them accountable.

AZ was playing for scoreboard cosmetics. Served them right.

I knew Kalani wouldn't embarrass his good friend (or anyone else)

I appreciate Kalani's approach on this topic, and I'm glad he takes the high

RebelScum

Agreed. If AZ was going to play to the very end (as if it was a close game) then we should punch it in from the 1 too.

TheLoneCougar

Oct 13, 4:12pm

It was a good lesson for Arizona and future opponents. Know when you're beat and don't keep throwing

CLCougar

Oct 13, 3:05pm

I would have done the same thing. Those are great real threats to practice

sah22

Oct 13, 3:09pm

Explain what you mean, keep throwing the ball in that situation? Your wording is confusing

CLCougar

Oct 13, 3:13pm

You may know you have lost. However, take advantage of time to improve. Run your

Agree with the concept in principle, but don't know how much is learned with no timeouts on your own half-yard line

CLCougar

Oct 13, 3:29pm

You don't risk your starting QB's health in the middle of the season like that

slatecoug

Oct 13, 11:14pm

Yeah, BYU should have given up in 1980 against SMU. ...

Agree totally in principle, but circumstances weren't comparable imo.

Appears the AZ coaches disagree with your expert opinion

Last game of the year is completely different than a midseason game

And a bowl game to boot. Back when bowl games meant something and BYU

thirdgencoug

How about the boneheaded decisions by Arizona coaches to keep their starters in a game they won’t win risking injury.

Rhino84

Oct 13, 4:44pm

I do agree they should have put in back ups but then let them go for it 100%

I did love that Kalani seemed to hold them accountable for that. He didn’t just sit back and prevent. We lit up Fifita

YIsForBrigham

Oct 13, 6:12pm

Disagree that their coach was wrong. I want to see football played!

Reasonable1

Oct 13, 6:49pm

Fifita was a tough dude, taking brutal hits, and kept balling. Does it make sense getting him injured late in the

CLCougar

Oct 13, 7:17pm

It was the wrong thing for his team

YIsForBrigham

Oct 13, 7:21pm

Yes it was, but it was fun for me as a BYU fan.

Reasonable1

Oct 13, 8:17pm

I am impressed with Fifita though. The guy took that much pressure super well.

I get we want to win without humiliating the opponent by scoring

We want to humiliate every PAC team as much as possible though, they earned it

Don't tell the media that the game was still in doubt late in the fourth quarter

First thing I thought the second he caught the ball! 😂

If I’m a coach who’s losing a game, I’m embarrassed if the opposing team dials it back or runs out the clock. The

Unless both coaches and the ref agree to shorten unplayed periods

TwinsRight

Oct 13, 3:32pm

Would you kick an on-side kick up 40?

thirdgencoug

Oct 13, 5:25pm

Nope, usually you do that when you’re behind.

hamaca

Oct 13, 5:29pm

Or did you mean as the losing team would I do an onside kick? Sure, good practice.

hamaca

Oct 13, 5:31pm

I was just curious. I’m not sure which side of the discussion I fall on.

thirdgencoug

Oct 13, 5:51pm

Agree, and I would have been disappointed if he would have chosen not to score when margin factors into rankings.

RUNBYU1

Yes, but like you said, do it with your second team.

In terms of final-score impact — it more or less reversed the Ropati cough-up.

Yeah I was kinda surprised he didn't have them kneel down on the PAT

I prefer 7 points to 2

Fake news…Kalani was going hard. They were sending blitzers right up to that last play. The fact that they were

I was hoping for a safety, but the pick 6 was amazing...

I absolutely loved that - it was the cherry on top

Can’t think of a more gratifying play all year. To emphatically snuff out all hope like that.
