I'm good with Jake running the ball. And to be fair, that interception by Johnson was just pure genius.

Jake needs to take a pretty considerable leap for this team to win the Big 12

whoneedscorners?

He doesn’t even need to play better than what his peak was this season

12/28/24 10:42pm

I think he needs to cut his TO’s in half next year for BYU to be a 10-11 win

Why would our ceiling be lower next season?

CrimWalCoug

Just a general feeling that many games this year we won in spite of lackluster

jordbyu

12/28/24 10:48pm

Because we're unlikely to recreate the luck we had over the first 9 games this

Especially in the red zone. Mind numbing to see those chances evaporate with poor decision making.

Bonoman

Good point. Not just missed opportunities but big momentum shifters

He’s so good at keeping drives alive. He seems to play better under a time constraint than in the slow game

GoodBetterBestBYU

He needs to improve in the red zone.

I just want him to hand the ball off whenever we're in the red zone. We're far more likely to score that way. It's so...

Brisco

12/28/24 10:50pm

This is exactly correct, imo. Just improve red zone decision making.

BlueTooth

Mostly needs to make better decision throwing into the end zone

ByuImaginesDragons

12/28/24 10:48pm

He's had more than enough time to learn that lesson.

Brisco

12/28/24 10:51pm

Well he did just win more games and out play shadeur sanders in a blowout. There’s that. Sanders had two throws

As was the lucky shovel pass INT with the DL.

GoodBetterBestBYU

12/28/24 11:11pm

The shovel pass was a terrible decision. If completed, our guy wasn't going to get any yards. Jake unwisely forced that.

Brisco

12/28/24 11:14pm

Any feedback on good decisions? Success? Good plays? Or all bad?

GoodBetterBestBYU

I said tonight he did a good job running the ball. But turnovers are countered by touchdown passes. And Jake had none.

Brisco

😂

GoodBetterBestBYU

12/29/24 12:07am

He did. And I was happy with our 3rd down conversion % tonight. But Jake's QB rating tonight was only 30.7.

Brisco

12/29/24 12:40am

Agree he is a risk taker. He came pretty raw out of the Covid era and juco system. Last year was him to the wolves

GoodBetterBestBYU

12/29/24 12:45am

Oh trust me I’m enjoying it! Those were simply frustrating to see

ByuImaginesDragons

12/28/24 11:47pm

So why the heck is he still doing it? You’d think he would learn

ByuImaginesDragons

12/28/24 11:46pm

Also when under pressure or scrambling. He’s More likely to force something.

Jstak17

12/28/24 11:03pm

Seems like his deep ball accuracy waned late in the season. Not sure why. He had some amazing throws in first 2/3

GoodBetterBestBYU

12/28/24 11:13pm

Probably injury and/or teams forcing the ball out earlier. Different OL combos

puntersarepeople

12/28/24 11:30pm

Last point probably relevant. Maybe seeing pressure coming from different places due to line changes

GoodBetterBestBYU

12/28/24 11:39pm

His decision making is still really poor sometimes. Hope he improves a lot there

D.T. Survivor

12/28/24 10:52pm

Accuracy can improve. But, I question whether decision-making in tense situations can get better in the off-season.

Brisco

12/28/24 11:08pm

Seeing him regress over the year doesn’t engender a lot of confidence

D.T. Survivor

12/28/24 11:25pm

He needs to make waaaaaaaay better throwing decisions in the red zone.

TeeKaa

12/28/24 10:55pm

Just need to avoid pooch punts bouncing off our DBs’ helmets and we’re good.

Japan Coug

12/28/24 11:24pm

I thought he showed a bit better touch today.

JuicyJam

12/28/24 11:24pm

Here! Here!

We’re a bad fade call away from playing for the title this year
