ManicBlue All-American

It is what it is this year, but don't make it out to be the death knell of the BYU football program. Every team struggles from time to time.

One thing that blows my mind is that fans don't seem to take into

Our offense was awful when we had our starting QB, all of our WR's and our

I agree, im just saying injuries will be the spin for why no one is fired

But it was practiced in the spring and fall with a lot of 2 and

And they still haven't figured it out by week 13...

he didn't do it with a 4th string QB

BYURider

11/21/17 2:08pm

The O was awful with 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th string.

NorCal_Coug

11/21/17 3:06pm

Doman beat NMSU 50-12 with 3rd string in 2012. Critchlow is 3rd string, not 4th

Mr. Scoobs

Wow .. didn't realize Lark was a freshman walk-on right off his mission in 2012

ManicBlue

11/21/17 3:18pm

We put up 20 pts with all our starters to winless Port. St, couldn't pass the 50

Mr. Scoobs

11/21/17 3:30pm

It's not just injuries but inexperience too. Our starters simply did not have

ManicBlue

This isn't the only year BYU had inexperience on the offensive side of the ball.

NorCal_Coug

11/21/17 3:48pm

Name one that has been this extensive coupled with the injuries. I'm not trying

We are talking about losing to FCS level teams here. It shouldn't matter.

Mr. Scoobs

11/21/17 4:35pm

I give up... folks put their heads in the sand on this factual point.

NorCal_Coug

11/21/17 7:23pm

We lost to an FCS team? I must have missed that.

ManicBlue

11/22/17 9:29am

Never thought I'd see the day CBers would defend losses to bottom 10 teams.

Mr. Scoobs

11/22/17 9:40am

As a 40 yr season ticket holder, I've seen ups and downs before and have learned

injuries, inexperience - got any more excuses? we've won b4 w/ those challenges

But this is ECU, UMass, and USU we're talking about!!!!

NorCal_Coug

11/21/17 10:13pm

UMass ... the team that lost to Tennessee 17-14? That UMass?

Toubabou

11/21/17 3:23pm

Good points, but it's still all Kalani's and Ty's fault. Only if they were more

socorny

11/21/17 1:48pm

We just need to tighten up all those loose things!

ManicBlue

11/21/17 1:54pm

Was it Critchlow that decided to go away from the run?

IceBlueCoug

11/21/17 1:58pm

Yeah, you'd think with a good wrench we wouldn't have so many players "loose"

Greg Kite's 'stache

11/21/17 1:59pm

go back and watch the game. Critchlow's passing was way off in the first half.

BYURider

11/21/17 2:10pm

I agree although the protection wasn't great either

I'mBatman

11/21/17 2:15pm

Detmer's play calling in the first half was actually pretty good

Greg Kite's 'stache

11/21/17 2:24pm

I don't know. They were rushing so many I don't know if rushing was the answer.

SWP

11/21/17 4:33pm

It seems that we've had a ton of injuries since Kalani took over

BYU Fan

11/21/17 1:58pm

No other teams have injuries. Its pretty unfair.

Blueto

11/21/17 2:01pm

Some teams have a lot less, and it makes a huge difference.

basman

11/21/17 2:03pm

I think it ties back to the belief the previous coaches wouldn’t go 3-10

SlantRoute

I agree with most of what you all are saying, but I'm just saying that I think

Critchlow is NOT 4th String or else Detmer Jr. would be starting. In 2012

Mr. Scoobs

11/21/17 2:48pm

He was our 4th string QB until half way through the season, Jr. ended up awful

the wretched problems of the O were in full display vs PSU before any injuries

11/21/17 3:07pm

The strength and conditioning coach should be under severe scrutiny

Jeenious

11/21/17 3:39pm

This will absolutely be the spin. But it’s a false narrative.

The annual injury excuse. I am tired of it

Dr T-bone

BYURider

11/21/17 4:57pm

Don’t forget about inexperience and tough schedule. Those are strong.
