MarylandFan Intervention Needed

I thought so too, but they play well regular season. Faceplant in post season.

Maybe it's a factor of scheduling?

My brother was chatting with me. They haven't beat a team in the post-season in the top 15 since Lou Holtz.

They're a solid top 25 team, but never a solid top 10 team like they're ranked year after year after year in the post season.

ISU agrees. They beat UCF 38-35 the week before and we passed them on their BYE.

Practice blowing coverages in conference games?

You just made his point

You EARN PT from excellence in practice

Better than losing our best players to injury and blowing coverages in playoff

Going into a bye week? Yes! Time to correct and teach while fresh and improve depth

They are going to bring in 2nd and 3rd string

Just gotta win the conference so we don’t rely on a committee decision

They matter but not going to be upset with the coaches or team after the ucf

Would you rather style points or full health? I know it’s not that black and

This brings up an interesting dilemma. What is the purpose of BYU Football?

MarylandFan

Edwards did because of the possbility of losing the game. We had UCF carving us

I don't think we were holding back out of politeness yesterday

Game was never in doubt. Kalani was playing intelligently to win and won

I do not think coaches would be any less effusive about Sitake if we scored more

I disagree RUTS is 'mean', it's just a game, it's how it goes.

That's fair.

MarylandFan

Agreed….no killer instinct. That has always been the case with Kalani. He will

It doesn’t matter how it was done, ND was always going to be ahead of us.

I’d add that beating an East coast team helps us break the East coast bias.

And going up 34-10 by the start of the 4th Q on ESPN @ 3:30pm doesn't hurt

MarylandFan

3:12pm

It’s not our offense’s job to play defense

JonnyB

3:11pm

Ya, let's just overlook the fact that ND beat a ranked team on the road

SUAVO

1 loss byu vs 1 loss ND we lose every time regardless of our victory margin

No. Being ND matters. Being in the SEC matters.

AP poll means nothing

Just win.

Keep telling yourself that. It directly influences the cfp poll.

So they say… but clearly you didn’t read what I said so whatever.

Example in 2021. First CFP rankings were quite a bit different from AP

RGGeemer

8:46pm

Hard to argue with that.

Just win, baby. It will all take care of itself if we keep winning.

RGGeemer

Isn't that what FSU said last year?

The problem is that our defense is not a lockdown defense. It’s opportunistic. It loses a lot of battles, but it wins

Remember our entire starting DL are seniors. We lose everyone next year. Got to

Notre dame lost to northern Illinois. It’s just ridiculous they are ranked this

Notre Dame is historically one of the most overrated programs

MarylandFan

Will Notre Dame having a larger TV draw also factor into the decision?

9:02pm

Nothing to figure out. Kalani just doesn't want to put them "away big".
