was struggling to defend the pass, and had been all season long. That defense was going to trip us up at some point in the season, even if Taysom stays healthy.

They were interested in him and 35 other coaches.

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

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

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

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

GOBIGBLUE

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.
