We forced 3 punts last week, one of which came when Nevada only ran the ball to

force us to burn time outs and run the clock. 2 punts when Nevada was trying to make a first down. We couldn't even make them punt after a 3rd and 18. That won't cut it, and that's what lost us the game, not Stewart.

Stewart wasn't talented enough to win the game despite the atrocious defense, I'll grant you that.

Ok guys I've had about enough of most of you

Injuries as an excuse don't work when you blow multiple score 2nd half leads

10/22/14 12:26am

Why not? Just cause you get to make the rules?

basman

10/22/14 7:25am

The injuries may have led to a player leadership vacuum. Lack of leadership

Works for me.

The same players who were building 2 TD leads were losing those leads.

BYUisLife

10/22/14 12:28am

Or that the fact those same players have a problem with consistency because

Fdnman

so what's the excuse for bad defense against houston and UVA

El Joffrey

10/22/14 5:19am

That's why they're second string guys?

cougarmikey

Best post I've read in a long time. Thank you

thanks brother

Bronco's hallmark is defense, and if that has gone to pot ...

vegas guey

10/22/14 1:28am

Sooooo, you're saying ...

gurt

10/22/14 1:42am

Wellllllllll, that's the lesson this season has taught us

vegas guey

10/22/14 2:07am

Injuries didn't blow 2 td leads and allow USU to throw over the top all game.

slowhiteguy

10/22/14 2:21am

Because the guys that wouldn't have allowed it WERE INJURED!!!!!

Fdnman

10/22/14 4:55am

You realize that the non injured players built the leads then lost them.

slowhiteguy

10/22/14 4:58am

You do realize that those that lost the leads had never played in those

Fdnman

10/22/14 5:04am

If the talent is there, then it is a coaching failure. Thanks for making my

slowhiteguy

10/22/14 5:43am

Thanks for making my point...

Fdnman

10/22/14 5:55am

They played against usu and usu was without their best two players as well

concolor couguar

10/22/14 6:02am

8 time starter replacement...same as CS? Crazy talk.

Fdnman

10/22/14 7:12am

Before any big injury against USU BYU was losing and had given up over 250 yards

concolor couguar

10/22/14 8:12am

Who is that? Who was injured that wouldn't have allowed it?

10/22/14 6:10am

Defense has been pretty awful since Texas.

rggee

10/22/14 7:20am

Defense wasn't even that great against UConn

10/22/14 7:26am

True. Although 10 points allowed isn't bad.

rggee

10/22/14 7:28am

And I wonder if that had more to do with UConn and less to do with BYU

10/22/14 8:38am

So the coaching philosophy and training have nothing to do with the injuries.

Blugar

10/22/14 2:29am

Why'd you include Phil Jackson? How hard can it be to spell Jordan & Pippen on..

icecougar

10/22/14 2:43am

Very good points on Bronco and Phil Jackson is very overrated

10/22/14 8:12am

Same list of excuses and woulda coulda. Injuries

MatthiasG

10/22/14 3:17am

It just isn't worth even trying to argue with "Holiday Inn" coaches

Fdnman

10/22/14 4:57am

How did USU do it? They were without their top player on both sides of the ball

10/22/14 6:11am

Serious? Their "top player" hadn't played much. The replacement was in his 8th

Fdnman

10/22/14 7:12am

USU's LB is rated as a 1st day draft pick and he is gone...

10/22/14 7:15am

In addition...

Dude... the MWC sucks... BYU crapping their pants doesn't change that.

10/22/14 9:25am

BM seems more of a HoJo kind of coach to me

byutx

10/22/14 8:07am

Agreed. Long live Bronco! These last 10 years have been great!!!

Sorry, but it's not just this year. LoyalCougars blog said it best:

In this forum reality is considered heresy.

CallingDingo

10/22/14 6:47am

What irks me is that I'm told that if I'm not in favor of firing

deljdc

10/22/14 7:03am

Ok....so Bronco doesn't like to use injuries as an excuse so why should you?

10/22/14 7:59am

If it's just the injuries then there is nothing to talk about

byutx

10/22/14 8:03am

Also, if BM were a great coach he'd get some great things from his players, not

byutx

10/22/14 8:04am

Saying the system is perfect, blaming players, dumping on fans -

LV Mike

10/22/14 8:11am

So just give Bronco another free pass?

GOBIGBLUE

10/22/14 8:22am

Tough to "stay in the boat" when the boat doesn't float.

Boxey

10/22/14 8:28am

I agree with most of what you said, but that loss is squarely on the defense

Government Bailout

10/22/14 8:29am

Injuries are the excuse this year - what about 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013?

spinner

10/22/14 9:11am

I'm with you Gurt. Playing our 5th string RB is a tough position for any coach.

shooot

10/22/14 9:33am

What has he done that even makes him a good position coach?

10/22/14 9:43am

You're right! I think Bronco is loyal to guys who work hard and are loyal

shooot

10/22/14 10:09am

Especially when he averages 11 yds/ carry. That's tough.

10/22/14 11:16am

WEll STATED and AMEN - Gurt!
