What is the scouting report on ASU? I've only heard about Skattebo all year, but it looks like Leavitt is having a

Leavitt may be the best QB we faced this year and Skattabo the best player

No way BYU drops from 6th to 15th.

NOCAL_YFAN

9:28am

It could happen. Georgia went 3 to 12 and Miami went 4 to 9, BYU likely ~12-14

BYUFootballisBack

9:30am

We'll be ahead of Boise State, should be ahead of SMU too

NOCAL_YFAN

9:32am

Quite possible. Big 12 team losing to Kansas? They didn't like big 12 and Kansas

paulb

9:32am

Against a 3-6 team? 15th may be best case scenario.

We'll drop significantly. We lost to a team with a horrible record, at home. Won't matter HOW Kansas lost all their

Our chances are very slim if we lose Saturday, but not zero.

If we lose to ASU, I don't give us a shot at all in the CCG with that late season trajectory even if we make it there.

The worst thing about the loss is we have no positive momentum after 2 bad games

I don’t believe in momentum this way. A team can choose to quit, sure, but it’s not some actual force that will make you

Way over performing based on preseason expectations. Currently under performing based on early season performance.

Knee Brace

Over performing on the season, under performing the last couple games.

dazcoug

Overperforming on the season. Underperformed last two games. *Not performing* right now, so we’ll see Saturday.

Spiff SequelTrilogyFan

9:14am

I get that BYU losing was in the cards, but why did it have to be against KU?

BlueFever

9:13am

They are way better than their record. Have lost a bunch of close games

cougarfann888

9:15am

Everyone keeps saying that, but it still doesn't change the fact that they

BlueFever

9:20am

On the upswing. Still could be a bowl eligible p4 team

cougarfann888

9:24am

Possibly. It's close enough to the end of the season that some players may check

BlueFever

9:28am

It didn't have to be.

shoganai

9:21am

So much better than Utah

cougforever

9:27am

Agreed. But that game is also where BYU started to fizzle out.

BlueFever

9:30am

The way the ball bounced, it was meant to be.

Benfica1

Allowing myself to be confident for ASU.

Icelandic Cougar

9:13am

I think at least 5 SEC teams deserve to be in the playoff, with Texas A&M borderline as a 6th

TCuz Coastal Elite

9:11am

You think Texas is being underseeded?

SWKTNative

The loser of Texas/Texas A&M 100% does not deserve to be in the playoff

rcbyufan

Holy crap, Taysom looks like participated UFC 309.

JohnnyC

9:10am

On the pooch punt: I don't know how the defense plays that any different. It was 4th down and the QB was in,

Skeptical Optimist Political Junky

9:07am

Yup. Felt like it was the first time all year the ball didn’t bounce our way. Just an unfortunate play. Simple as that.

RootieBoy

That was the play that I knew our luck had run out

Except it is not Kansas who sucks but our offense.

CCG berth - Go 2-0 or go 1-1 and help with 2 additional teams losing

Zoobieman

9:04am

Biggest question—will BYU be ranked ahead or behind Boise State. That would det

Incentivize

9:03am

BSU will be ahead of us is my guess.

Soupie

9:03am

Yep - but if we win out and win the Big 12, we will then be ahead of them.

Dangerous

9:06am

BSU will be ahead. If we can beat a ranked Colorado team we might jump them.

ShinobiCoug

9:06am

BSU took over the moment BYU lost to Kansas.

BlueFever

9:06am

If either Colorado or BYU win out, they will beat Boise State for the bye

CycloneCoug

9:08am

Behind. A bad loss took away any edge we had.

CascadeBYUFan

9:09am

I don't think it matters. BYU's path to the playoff is now winning the CCG. If

westsidecoug

9:13am

BYU will be ahead. Boise may drop another spot this week (committee dropped them last week too)

TCuz

9:13am

we will be behind... but the joy of being P4 is basically with a win this week

1984coug

9:15am

BYU was 6th last week, BSU was 13th (with 1 loss), BYU will still be ahead

NOCAL_YFAN

9:20am

Where have the “specials”/trick plays gone? We were running like 1 a game

Cougs2012

9:00am

IMHO, in order for a trick play to work, the offense has to be working.

Brigham

9:13am

If fans are yelling for ARod's head, just imagine if he had tried a trick play.

runnincoug

9:17am

Just a reminder than if we were still Indy we’d spend this week talking about

CycloneCoug

9:00am

Random thought: I would rather have our bye week after the Holy War, not before

NOCAL_YFAN

8:59am

Definitely would've helped us this year. Utah was absolutely reeling. Gave them

SWKTNative

9:00am

I think both BYU and Utah suffered from a Holy War hangover.

NOCAL_YFAN

I don't understand why our coaching staff is incapable of this

jaromp All-American

8:56am

They are capable of it. They just aren’t stupid. BYU was driving the ball. They

8:57am

Why would this be stupid? Jake has clearly been bad the last couple of games

jaromp

8:59am

Find all the examples of this ever working out. I’ll wait

cougaman

8:59am

Rizk came in and looked markedly better for UCF this season. Not the same scenario though.

foofcoug

9:25am

The #3 ranked University of Texas Longhorns would like a word, because they did exactly this.

BYUMizzou

Well, if we have the #1 recruit in the nation sitting on the bench, then ok. Its

So do you want to reconsider your statement that "no team does this." Because it obviously does happen from time to

BYUMizzou

9:10am

Sorry. I’m the first person to use hyperbole on the internet to make a point.

cougaman

9:13am

When BYU has a Manning or Tua on the bench, let's talk.

fattycoug

9:07am

The comment I'm responding to is the claim that "no team does this." That's objectively incorrect.

BYUMizzou

9:08am

Sure. You got me. Didn’t mean it’s not reasonable to expect BYU to do this.

cougaman

9:14am

I agree with you 100%

AzCugrFan

9:23am

The Steelers just did it yesterday. Putting Justin Fields in for a few plays. Worked well

BYU Grounds

9:26am

Cmon… the 2QB situation means you ultimately have no QB.

ToasterChive

8:57am

A good coach is able to balance this. You don't have to have a "2 QB situation" if you play your backup for a few series

jaromp

9:00am

There is zero chance that JR being "offended" is their rationale for NOT doing

oxcoug

8:58am

You don’t do that when you are 9-0. 5-4, 4-5, sure. Jake is a big reason we

kansascougar

8:59am

The coaches got complacent... Gerry, who has played like 8 total snaps wouldn't have made a difference

Coug

9:00am

If this worked, you would see those universities with QB's coming in and out not being at the bottom

darkcoug

9:04am

moving the ball wasn't the problem...it was finishing drives and stupid turnover

volleyjiver

9:04am

QB accuracy and decision-making was an issue

jaromp

9:15am

I wouldn’t mind seeing a package of RZ plays for Gerry, but taking Jake out of the game because he has a few struggles

RootieBoy

9:06am

The unit that failed us the most was the Oline. No push on 3 running plays, then

runnincoug

9:12am

I agree, and I think it would have been a good idea to try to switch it up a little

jaromp

9:18am

Well, Kudos to you for sticking with your opinion, even though it's terrible 😉

runnincoug

9:20am

There are about 10 good reasons this didn’t happen

Future_Tacos

9:20am

BYU's most viewed games this year: 1) Utah 2.07m 2) OK St 1.66m 3) K St 1.5 m

machete

8:53am

Surprising. I figured we would be doing better in the earlier slots

SWKTNative

9:07am

This week @ASU should be telling. Ranked matchup. CCG/playoff implications.

SWKTNative

9:10am

So basically losing on Saturday doesn't really change anything for this team. We

Windward_Coug

8:50am

It removes the margin of error. We had one game to give, and we gave it.

All-American

8:51am

We would still get the first week bye correct? There's no way we win

Windward_Coug

8:58am

I think he's referring to dropping the ASU or Houston game and not getting in

westsidecoug

9:04am

No ability to lose again. The playoff starts this week for BYU.

Six Foot Seven

8:52am

I think it’s the way we lost indicating that the offense is on the wrong

Cougs2012

8:53am

It was a >95% chance of making it to the Big 12 CCG if we won on Saturday.

Skeptical Optimist

8:53am

Going 12-0 would have meant a playoff berth. Now BYU needs to win the CCG.

byuwahoo

8:54am

Yes, but it does put the B12 behind the MWC champion.

Benfica1

8:55am

no it doesn't

volleyjiver

8:57am

Yeah to drop us below Boise is saying they have a better quality loss, because

NOCAL_YFAN

9:02am

What was BSU ranked last week? And how far does BYU fall? AP/coaches = 13/14

Benfica1

9:04am

By not ending the year undefeated BYU no longer hosts a playoff game I believe.

ToasterChive

8:58am

There was an extremely low chance of hosting no matter how you slice it

volleyjiver

9:01am

Don’t we lose the Big12 tiebreaker if we lose to ASU? Do or die time

groy

8:59am

Yes, our chances are dire if we lost to ASU. Possible, but unlikely

volleyjiver

9:01am

Yes, it does. ASU loss likely sinks us noe. Didn't with win over KU

LifeLongLakerFan

9:05am

We could have lost at ASU and been ok.

CascadeBYUFan

The only thing that could make this deal sweeter is if Kevin Harlan stays on to call the basketball games.

Doesn't this just mean we'll have to subscribe to 3 or 4 systems instead of two?
