Polecat Intervention Needed

and stay committed to a strong run game, which IMO BYU is capable of having

Which is ultimately I think his biggest issue, and one worth complaining about. I think otherwise his play calling is good.

I need a ruling. The Double Pass

There was some question of whether the ball was tipped at the line

I think most of the contact happened before the ball was thrown

I think it should have been a defensive holding. I think if ball is not in the

The first "pass" wasn't a pass. It's like a hand-off. A lateral. But I've

The first pass isn't a forward pass, it's more akin to a pitch.

I liked when the announcer tried to talk about it "Was that a hold?" And the other guy just totally ignored the question

Yeah, “wow the home fans were not happy about that play call” uhhh no they

I wasn't happy with the play call, its execution, or the reffing

trick plays lose their effectiveness if you run it every game from the same part

Don't think Hinckley will ever be asked to throw again

doesn't matter, ARod got cute and used Ropati to make a throw he shouldn't be making, I know they practice those plays,

Is it a bad idea because it didn’t work? What if it had worked ?

Polecat

3:25pm

I think it was a bad decision because it wasn't needed. We were driving the ball

I agree. His play calling was pretty good this game, especially he 2nd half

I’ve called them out as bad ideas when they have worked sometimes. When it’s in

It has worked well when Kingston is throwing the ball but

a flag should have been thrown on the personnel used in the play design.

how so? I see seven BYU players on the line and 4 back. Doesn't 7 guys on the

Ropati didn't meet the minimum requirement for anyone throwing a D1 ball.

Cougarclaw

12:42pm

Exactly. Why have Ropati throw that?

Orem58thBall

My biggest gripe with ARod. He uses the B team far too often on important plays.

TheLoneCougar

Assuming they practiced it like that all week, wouldn’t that make them the A

Polecat

No, I want the best players in. Hinckely or LJ throwing that pass, LJ.

TheLoneCougar

Kingston, former Roy high QB, is the only one who should be passing.

Mabuhay Coug

That may get too predictable if we do that too many times with him.

I mean you’d want the players who practiced it during the week doing it on

Fair points. And I agree with you to a degree. But in general it feels like ARod has 2nd and 3rd stringers in for

I assume play design was for Ropati to get outside and Lasiter running corner

I'm guessing it would have been called if the pass was even remotely accurate

MaximusMeridius

The rule doesn’t change with the a lateral…but officials give a lot more leniency. Kind of like when Batty destroyed

FromCAtoUT

If the first pass is not a forward lateral, then all PI rules should apply

The first one is not a pass. The 2nd one is. PI applies

RGGeemer

No tip. Ropati passed the ball way behind Lassiter who tripped adjusting.

No flag: WORST (non)-call of the entire game. #NoExcuse
