Say what you will about ARod and his play calling...

Retzlaff is significantly better this year than projected--even by the most homer BYU fans. Don't see too many lining up to pay compliments for the QB development.

Especially when you compare to Utah's QB development. BYU has a massive leg up.

Say what you will about ARod and his play calling...

He is significantly better. So let’s have Ropati take a stab at passing to see what he-OH NO what just happened?!?

byuTX

11:13am

A clear missed PI happened.

bluecougar1985

11:14am

You mean “ignored” . . . There was no way you could miss that one

2FarGone

11:15am

Yep that was a big missed call and very dumb. Not as dumb as the play call though

byuTX

11:16am

Honestly, the throw wasn’t even close to the tripped player

Heath Squashwell

11:16am

It was uncatchable. The throw was 5yards in the opposite direction the receiver

Pepe

11:17am

and caught by the guy that tackled Lassiter. So clearly NOT uncatchable

Kajdin

12:26pm

I’ll have to rewatch it, but I think it was caught by the guy that threw him

bluecougar1985

11:28am

Totally, but it was also one of the worst passes I have seen thrown all season

Jericho

11:29am

A clear hold on Lassiter. He’s behind the defender and probably catches it

B Blue

Doesn’t change the fact that Ropati threw it like a 10 year old pop warner QB.

WillsPitStop

12:01pm

I feel like the average CBer could have made a better pass

Jericho

12:10pm

I think if Ropatis throw was closer to our player, it would’ve had a better

ok, Retzlaff improvement >>>>>>> one bad play call

HeismanTy

Correct. Also making one more joke on a boring Sunday >>>>>>> not making one more joke on a boring Sunday

Fair

More like Retzlaff improvement>>>getting too cute too often

Critiquing this is fine as long as you also critique the other 90% of the time

Junior Deputy

11:19am

That's not how byuTX rolls. That glass is always going to be at least 5% empty.

Indy Coug

11:20am

Former QB Parker Kingston? Yes. Ropati? No. Especially when we can run at will

byuTX

11:21am

Newsflash: half the team, including Ropati, played QB at some point in their

Junior Deputy

11:29am

The problem was the play got blown up and Ropati got hit as he threw

Indy Coug

11:30am

He decided to throw it no matter what. He’s not practicing @ QB under pressure and doesn’t have the reps to know to eat

byuTX

11:33am

It’s amusing that you think you know how the play was practiced.

Junior Deputy

11:38am

I think I wasn’t clear with my point. I don’t think he has had enough time and

byuTX

11:38am

Perhaps, and just hear me out, they practiced it the same way every play is

Junior Deputy

11:45am

I’m sure they practiced it a bunch. But he clearly messed it up and didn’t have the experience, wherewithal or instinct

byuTX

11:48am

Not in a game that matters and Definitely not Ropati. Horrible play call

byuTX

11:32am

This is definitely not true

deliciousmocha

11:43am

You can't only do Kingston ... the defense will know and that's too predictable

runnincoug

1:50pm

I do critique the times it works if they seemed unnecessary at the time. Why not

ColonelMustard

2:34pm

It definitely appears that somebody kidnapped ARod a few games ago.

bluecougar1985

11:14am

I wonder how the O-line figures in to that.

Cosmo Kramer

11:14am

A huge reason for improved QB play is Coach Woods and the O-line.

CopperLix

11:22am

The game is "slowing down" for Jake in large part because he has more time to make decisions due to improved OL play.

Spiff

11:52am

He was given help in the off-season hiring

travelcoug

11:15am

What help are you referring too?

SnickSnack

11:17am

Two assistants with extensive play calling experience and a run game coordinator

travelcoug

11:29am

Still has head scratchers, like having Ropati throw the halfback pass 😑

NOCAL_YFAN

BYU's qb development is excellent. Any doubts about that should be put to rest permanently.

The most comical criticism I see repeated about BYU’s offense is simply the

Polecat

11:20am

I saw a ton of comments of fans whining that Retzlaff would be horrible

Jericho

11:27am

He was rough, but he wasn't nearly as bad as you would think after reading the gloom and doom on cb.

Black Diamond Bay

11:35am

Certainly the fumble problem has been taken care of.

Scooter

11:55am

A few head scratchers but the offense moved the ball well and scored a lot

he's put three straight, 3-star QBs into the NFL...that's impressive development
