Pretorian All-American

It was his first go at that hostile environment… he’ll be better next time.

The dude wins

Retzlaff sure struggled.

Doubt we would face a defense like that before the playoff

mannheimadler

Nov 10, 2:16pm

BYU has relied on our aggressive defense to get turnovers and short fields

Bobmarleyjr

Nov 10, 6:38pm

He will. Max beat Utah twice and didn’t put up his best work.

NYCougz

Nov 10, 2:16pm

Yeah, he did just enough to beat them twice...

Jericho

Yep. And in ugly games that is what you need to do.

His oc didn't do him any favors

Clock management was the biggest frustration.

The Y's Insider

Nov 10, 2:19pm

Yep that bothered me way more than the play calling.

NYCougz

The inane subbing has got to go. SIMPLIFY!!!

cajuncoug

Nov 10, 9:23pm

The OL and RB pass blocking didn’t do him any favors.

Reasonable1

Nov 10, 2:24pm

This he had very little protection

baldcoug74

He led a game winning drive. Legendary. He

GoodBetterBestBYU

This….improved play calling could have helped him.

His OC was garbage!!

4 scoring drives in hostile environment where we haven’t won since my youngest was born…

GoodBetterBestBYU

Point still stands. He had a terrible game. They didn’t know what they were doin

Cnation

Thankfully, Jake has proven time and time again that he doesn’t stay down long

LeonMarek

His and teams mental toughness is apparent. More so than CB 🙂

GoodBetterBestBYU

That is the beauty of pressure. It speeds things up so even on plays they arent

Zak

No QBs play well against U, see Caleb Williams

GoodBetterBestBYU

Nov 10, 2:19pm

His reluctance to take off running makes me think they coached him not to

MarylandFan

IMO you get a pass in the Utah game. And no interceptions.

bythenumbers

Nov 10, 2:21pm

Agreed

The Y's Insider

Nov 10, 2:24pm

Whitt does this to 1st time qbs in the rivalry. The fact we didn’t turn it over

CougGolf

Utah has one of the best defenses in the NCAA. Top 10 easily.

AltTabbins

The Online didn't help

Really proud of how they performed on those four scoring drives against

I think connner pay changes this game big time

Hope he’s in shape

GoodBetterBestBYU

Amazing what pressure does to a QB

SUAVO

Nov 10, 3:41pm

Scally sure talked to him for a bit after game. Curious what it was about

Jagger

Nov 10, 3:44pm

That caught my eye too. Seemed like a pretty cool response by him after…

RES is right up there as the toughest place to play (especially when you’re BYU)

Nobody really had a great game, especially coaches. Play calling and clock

WillsPitStop

2 worst ones were the sliding completion to Lassiter (I really wanted to see

boctabulous

Nov 10, 4:06pm

I'll take 0 turnovers and clutch plays. We have fantastic receivers too.

Brandoblueblood

Nov 10, 4:16pm

Yes and acknowledge 4 scoring drives in the face of a relentless D that always has BYUs number, with catastrophic plays

GoodBetterBestBYU

Nov 10, 4:24pm

They made some amazingly difficult catches

icecougar

Nov 10, 9:08pm

So glad we’ve recruited talented WRs

GoodBetterBestBYU

Nov 10, 9:21pm

Utah’s tough defense and the loudest most hostile crowd he has played against

Nagurski

Nov 10, 4:31pm

Gave me a Max Hall vs Utah vibe. Hall always struggled vs Utah but in the end…

icecougar

Nov 10, 4:42pm

Don’t forget Lassiter drop

kiyoshige

Communication was off, and all those subs seemed the throw them off their rhythm

He led the game winning drive to beat Utah at RES. Put some respect on his name.

BYUFan2010

Nov 10, 5:42pm

We’ve seen the best of Retzlaff this season, but he’s going to struggle against good defenses mostly because of his bad

crm48

Nov 10, 5:53pm

Super impressed w/ his composure. Sure he was under pressure. More blocking

HeyU

Nov 10, 6:13pm

Their defense is elite. Plus, I honestly think he didn’t expect that intensity

Your Royal Blueness

Nov 10, 6:15pm

I think the low in the grass completions were supposed to be low on purpose

2FarGone

Nov 10, 6:16pm

This hasn't always been the case in the past, but in this game I agree

bythenumbers

Nov 10, 9:22pm

Our RBs did Jake no favors. I distinctly remember our one of the tips was due to

babycarrot

Nov 10, 6:41pm

They had some success between the tackles but somehow decided off tackle

Tanuvasa shut down the middle in the 2nd half

Keim was beaten all night in pass pro too

cajuncoug

Nov 10, 9:21pm

Now Jake knows how the other team esp qb feels.

Ripliancum

Nov 10, 7:09pm

OLine didn't do him any favors either.

wilsdad

Nov 10, 7:09pm

Everything but special teams and Second half D struggled. But we won!

Iki_Balam

Nov 10, 7:09pm

Didn’t we shut them out in the 2nd half and held them to no points on 2 short fields?

GoodBetterBestBYU

Nov 10, 7:23pm

Yes, and we also didnt anticipate Rose would be a good QB, so that too.

Iki_Balam

Nov 10, 10:12pm

That was a top 5 defense

It’s a team issue as much as it was a Jake issue

Good room for improvement to work on
