I dont think you can draw any conclusions

The games have been too close and decided by one or two plays to say that one team was more prepared than the other or one coach coached better than the other. In fact two of those games were influenced by bad calls from the officials. I don't think that has anything to do with how prepared a team is.

In fact even the blow out game was actually trending toward a BYU blowout till the turnovers started to happen. A turnover can change momentum in a second. 7 Turnovers.....

There are no answers to your questions.

Why do posters on CB have so many questions?

kimdaddy35

3/31/15 11:18am

It's called being a fan. It's not CB. It's the nature of fanhood.

I was only kidding SFC

That's good. Ate my bowl of tics n bananas for the day. I'm ready to go.

We wouldn't be here if we weren't invested in what happens....

What would have happened if...

Or if Davies were playing

crm48

Yeah, a lot of what ifs in that game...but...

That is the greatest what if at BYU over the last 20 years

#2 on the list bugs me the most

That can apply to Football and Basketball

Consistently getting to the conference championship game is performing "poorly"?

StantonMac

3/31/15 11:19am

TNT wonders why there are always a couple of games each season

TNT

3/31/15 11:28am

and against crap teams no less

3/31/15 11:29am

Will Bronco ever realize that #6 is stupid and will stop doing it.

RC Vikings

3/31/15 11:28am

Bronco does not have a good "thats stupid" meter

crm48

3/31/15 11:29am

I'm an avid Bronco defender...

Superman21

I thought that was Anae's thing.

PlanoCougar

3/31/15 2:03pm

I was wondering how long it would take

3/31/15 2:09pm

Pretty well documented that it was Bronco's thing

Superman21

3/31/15 5:53pm

I would like to see that since only the offense does it

The OP was not talking about Tradition, Spirit, Honor

4/1/15 4:05pm

If the players thought it was that stupid, the leadership council would stop it.

Lance71

3/31/15 11:34am

I've seen many other teams do this. It's not a "Bronco thing."

Traveshamockery

3/31/15 1:39pm

Name one other college team

RC Vikings

3/31/15 2:40pm

I saw Texas Tech do it and other teams as I've watched games.

Blame it on the Honor Code...that is what most apologists do...

Bonoman

3/31/15 11:29am

You dont know what the term "apologist" means do you?

3/31/15 12:24pm

Well whenever the word is used, they sure do hear momma ringing the dinner bell

southernfriedcougar

3/31/15 12:34pm

Using the term apologist in a negative sense is incorrect

3/31/15 1:00pm

Absolutely nothing you said explains how the term

southernfriedcougar

3/31/15 1:18pm

Pffft... Wow.....

3/31/15 1:34pm

Someone who is never wrong... lol Tell us about it.

southernfriedcougar

3/31/15 1:55pm

LOL - as I said.

3/31/15 2:03pm

Well stated. Those very same

A few of my answers (not just another sarcastic reply from Kimdaddy)

kimdaddy35

3/31/15 11:46am

It helps to ask questions that at least reflect reality

CoopDizz

3/31/15 11:53am

You missed the point of question 3

3/31/15 1:23pm

Not the only benchmark for the quality of a postseason

CoopDizz

3/31/15 1:40pm

What I meant was exactly what I said. Every single post season

pistol12

3/31/15 8:07pm

I listed the successful postseasons in my original response

CoopDizz

3/31/15 8:13pm

Regarding the Utah question. Kyle's scheme is effective against BYU athletes

ALUF 1990

I knew there would be a pac12 reference in there somewhere...

BabyOx

Our slow white guys are a little bit faster than your slow white guys...

Zoob Lover

3/31/15 1:34pm

Based on the results of the past 11 matchups...it's hard to argue with any of

Zoob Lover

3/31/15 1:32pm

I can argue that Jake Heaps played his worst game against Utah.

3/31/15 1:38pm

I agree. Heaps' individual performance that game was horrendous...but,

Zoob Lover

3/31/15 1:50pm

I do think BYU comes out the same, but Utah comes out burning with desire

3/31/15 1:55pm

Interesting point.

Zoob Lover

3/31/15 2:06pm

Case and point. Go look how many times Utah has lost the next game after BYU.

3/31/15 2:14pm

OK, I checked myself. Since BYU's last win over Utah in 2009, Utah has lost

3/31/15 2:21pm

For Utah it's worse than that. They've lost every game before and after BYU

Lance71

3/31/15 2:31pm

Thats interesting.

3/31/15 3:28pm

The games after BYU were USC, UCLA, ASU, etc. What do they all have in common?

ALUF 1990

3/31/15 5:14pm

I won't deny that BYU's passing attack has been bad. And maybe true with the

3/31/15 5:41pm

They are all teams that Utah lost to after BYU?

3/31/15 6:51pm

I dont think you can draw any conclusions

3/31/15 2:14pm

Did you watch any of the BYU/Utah pregame last time? Any at all?

ALUF 1990

3/31/15 5:04pm

I hate to admit that I agree with you.

PlanoCougar

3/31/15 5:12pm

Don't buy it. BYU beats P5 teams with speed. Just not Utah.

HenderCoug

3/31/15 1:55pm

Ok, so you don't "buy it". That's fine. Please explain why the rivalry game

Zoob Lover

3/31/15 2:10pm

BYU was undefeated against P5 teams last season.

Belboz

3/31/15 2:13pm

I wouldn't call it bad luck, except for maybe the Heaps freshman team that

kimdaddy35

3/31/15 2:22pm

The reason: 90% of the game is half mental. Yogi.

HenderCoug

3/31/15 4:19pm

This is exactly right. But most BYU fans will look at the rankings and say "but

Ash

3/31/15 2:56pm

All are complicated, except #6 which is just stupid and could stop at any time.

BabyOx

3/31/15 1:16pm

I believe that the answer to #1 has to do with KW's familiarity with BYU

Walter Bellhaven

3/31/15 1:34pm

Why can't Bronco hire or develop coaches the way Rose does?

3/31/15 1:36pm

Why can't BYU's kicker consistently get touchbacks at 4500 Feet?

FiveTen-BuckEighty

3/31/15 1:39pm

It's sad that you have to include a disclaimer

marticorp

3/31/15 3:23pm

I know. I agree.

pistol12

3/31/15 7:43pm

Maybe the disclaimer should also have a clause
