You're nuts. The receiver is indeed trying to make the defender think its a pass

but the purpose is so the defender/return man doesn't fair catch it or return it. They want the ball to roll as close to the goal line as possible.

Read my post below to see exactly what the coach said. Hitting our player and recovering it was a bonus.

This is probably going to be an unpopular opinion.

Man I wish I had takes this hot. Unfortunately self scouting and evolution is part of coaching.

I mean the ball simply bounced off our guy's head, not sure we have to wax

The entire play design is for it to hit the defender!

No the design of the play is to pin byu deep. Also

Marv Albert has reels of football follies from the NFL that would challenge

You should rewatch the play.

There are two points. Pinning them deep is much more likely to happen

Well I won’t argue with you any more.

So tell me what this part of the coach's statement means:

Not dependent on the db not seeing the ball? How do they suppose to hit him

BYU '80

If their QB is that accurate of a punter, he should be their full time punter.

I'd put $5,000 down that Jalon Daniels couldn't replicate that punt

It’s not Daniel’s job to hit the defender. It’s the receivers job to position

Or coffin corner it inside the five

The receiver's decoy is actually similar to what a good returner does

Tricky

Dec 2, 9:03pm

Actually I don't think he's even trying to do that. He's the speed guy who is

High likelihood of success? Lol

BYU '80

Dec 2, 8:47pm

You're just wrong. Go re-read what their coach said after the game.

Tricky

Dec 2, 8:30pm

Yeah doesn’t indicate they were trying to hit anyone at all. The more important

Both statements show what he meant: they were trying to pin deep and

They actually played better last two games last year than prior games.

back against the wall. we still lost

Dec 2, 8:23pm

But playing much better doesn’t fit the narrative of a continual fade

BYU '80

Dec 2, 8:25pm

did they?

Dec 2, 8:31pm

To nearly beat the big12 champ on the road and Oklahoma? Yes. Easily.

BYU '80

Dec 2, 8:32pm

But we still lost, right?

Dec 3, 10:09am

We were a penalty and a last second drive and another last second drive away from finishing 2-4...

An even better indicator of good coaching is being prepared for big games.
