Sounds like they're coached super well and the offense is well coordinated.

I love when Arod lovers get ratioed non-stop… also, this comment is hilarious

Maybe Fesi needs to work with his position group more?

Dec 1, 8:54am

No but he did call a fade. No excuses for that. He knows Jake can’t do it, so why call it?!

Very little chance that was the first read for that play call.

Then as OC you have to say "this is the play. DO NOT AUDIBLE OUT." They weren't stopping the run, we had 2 TO left. The

Dec 1, 8:32am

You don't micromanage a QB like that. You teach him the principles and let him go out there and play ball.

Dec 1, 8:57am

Yes, until he repeatedly does it. At the end of the day, it's your (OCs) job on the line if QB fails. Not his. It's okay

My job isn't on the line at 10-2.

How does an offense have success if you can’t trust the QB to audible?

I didn't say don't allow him to audible. Buy in critical situations where you as the OC have more experience, at least

It’s an honest question eyeroller

What exactly are the complaints?

Belboz

It’s pretty simple to me. The offense is not performing well enough.

Believe it or not, BYU won 10 games. They hardly failed
