Bronco turned down UCLA??? Really?

You can't "take you hat out of the ring" if you havent already been interviewed.

Being considered for the job doesn't mean he had been interviewed.

you mean the post with no content?

You cant have your hat in the ring without some level of contact (ie interveiw)

PolarisPrime

They were interested in him and 35 other coaches.

Common sense says that you have no idea what you are talking about

Not calling Bronco a liar. Apperantly I speak a different language than you

We were losing to USU with healthy players.

That poor defense held USU to a single touchdown in the second half

We were losing by 1 td and we had the ball isndie the 50 we would i won that

cougarfann888

Very unlikely to get a NY6 at 11-1 with BYU's schedule.

Y'zFan

11/23/14 8:13pm

Dream on. We weren't headed for six NY day bowl

kotacoug

11/22/14 10:14pm

Honestly, I think we still would've lost to usu even with Taysom.

blackandblue

11/22/14 10:14pm

i don't know. Taysom's a winner and a leader. i think we may have pulled it

We may have, but I'll give credit where credit is due.

JJ's offsides and Michael Davis getting burned would still happen.

BYUHgrad

No, we were only down 7 and driving when he got hurt. No way taysom loses that

True. I just lost all confidence in our defense that night. Garretson was

blackandblue

11/22/14 10:59pm

Our d was bad, but taysom was moving the ball at will.

idcougarfan

11/22/14 11:11pm

But they were losing, right?

GOBIGBLUE

11/23/14 6:51pm

I wouldn't say moving the ball at will.

southernfriedcougar

11/24/14 12:12am

If my memory is correct (and it may not be), Taysom got hurt on 3rd down.

The Dude Abides

11/23/14 9:43am

Nope he got hurt on 2nd down. The next play was 3rd and 3 or something like that

cougarfann888

11/23/14 10:01am

Gotcha. Okay. My mistake.

The Dude Abides

11/23/14 10:32am

BSU is where even Taysom wouldn't have been able to save the defense.

CalGTR

Actually avoiding the three 3-outs to start the game

That's true. We'll never really know. It is also true, however, that the defense

Cougrrrs Roll

11/23/14 8:50am

Taysom is great. But Taysom doesn't play defense. We got exposed big time

blackandblue

11/23/14 10:11am

I think we would have beat USU with Taysom, but no way we beat BSU

ybyuy

11/22/14 10:20pm

I dunno. It would have changed a lot of the dynamic of the games.

Shimmy

11/22/14 11:04pm

I agree. We were better than Boise when healthy. Losing Taysom fragmented
