Having him with that skillset could really cause DCs to have headaches. Ropati’s pass looked exactly like a pass I would expect from a running back with no passing experience. I am sure that there are other receivers with better arms. One of the TEs, Ericsson or Bowers, played some QB, as well.

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

To me, looks like the receiver trips trying to change directions because

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

Oct 21, 3:25pm

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

Oct 21, 3:35pm

Fair. I think this is a moment in which Arod shows an unwillingness to develop

Oct 21, 3:38pm

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

Oct 21, 12:42pm

Exactly. Why have Ropati throw that?

Orem58thBall

Oct 21, 1:12pm

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

Oct 21, 2:59pm

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

Polecat

Oct 21, 3:26pm

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

Oct 21, 3:35pm

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

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

I see that, but he also has the speed to jet sweep, play the slot, screen, ect

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

Oct 21, 4:26pm

I mean every set of downs can include critical plays right? Any third down is

Polecat

Oct 21, 6:15pm

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

fulano

Oct 21, 12:47pm

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

MaximusMeridius

Oct 21, 1:29pm

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

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

morningcalmcougar

Oct 21, 3:05pm

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

RGGeemer

Oct 21, 4:11pm

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

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