It was more than BYU being tired

Carnac el Magnifico

10/7/15 11:41am

It helped that Michigan got to play two cream puffs at home before the BYU game

nephicoug

10/7/15 11:43am

If you would have told me

HiredGun

10/7/15 11:43am

This was the main factor along with the loss of JW, TH, and TT. Lack of Depth

deckard667

Yep.

HiredGun

My explanation of the Michigan game.

Hooda88

10/7/15 2:07pm

That's a great explanation

antiyewt

10/7/15 4:52pm

Knowing exactly why the team put up a "2" and ore importantly

Hooda88

10/7/15 7:14pm

There's truth there but I think there's more...

byujdmba

10/7/15 6:59pm

I think you're a little too high on Michigan or a little too low on BYU...

Hooda88

Well, if you can't trust Rich, who can you trust?

SUAVO

nice setiment. I agree somewhat, but the way we lost was horrific.

idacoug

10/7/15 11:43am

"horrific"? That's a pretty strong word to describe a game.

StantonMac

10/7/15 11:44am

Strong? Sure. It's also accurate.

coug203

10/7/15 11:47am

what word would you describe that game? Abortion? anomoly? terrible? bad?

idacoug

10/7/15 12:07pm

The term 'dumpster fire' comes to mind

SouthernAZcoug

10/7/15 12:13pm

Abortion?

Cougz19

10/7/15 12:13pm

Abortion. I would definitely call it an abortion.

As football games go, it really didn't have much to redeem it.

byujdmba

10/7/15 12:31pm

They didn't reach 100 yds of offense until the last play of the game... So yeah

reddead

10/7/15 1:11pm

What about getting plastered after looking good for 3 games is NOT horrific?

National guys trying to create an explanation. They don't know the history

Grit for Brains

10/7/15 11:46am

Regardless of the truth it helps with national perception

SUAVO

10/7/15 11:49am

agree.

Grit for Brains

And with literally, literally, literally almost every other team in the country.

rcbyufan

10/7/15 12:06pm

And even the teams that go undefeated usually have a couple games where they

Freddie Cougar

What was the excuse last year v. utah st? nevada? How about in 2013 v. virginia

SoValleyCOUG

10/7/15 11:47am

Ya. Why aren't we undefeated every year?

byu1

10/7/15 11:49am

Never expect that. Always an excuse though. It has become a trend with BYU

SoValleyCOUG

10/7/15 12:06pm

Ironic that a few years ago the rap was BYU always beat teams supposed to, but

byu1

10/7/15 12:19pm

Maybe to you, but they can pull a no show against any team.

SoValleyCOUG

10/7/15 12:30pm

The first couple of games you mentioned

HiredGun

10/7/15 12:07pm

Utah State...NO excuse...Nevada? Walk on QB that almost pulled out the game

deckard667

10/7/15 12:27pm

That game, I was in the front row watching warm ups before the game. YOu could

SoValleyCOUG

10/7/15 12:39pm

Wasn't the score like 54-28? Yeah FSU was just better that day.

HiredGun

10/7/15 12:45pm

Sounds about right. Yes they were better. BYU was uninspired. BYU just beat Okla

SoValleyCOUG

10/7/15 1:03pm

fans and talking heads have no idea either way

Jeremy

10/7/15 11:47am

Being tired doesn't excuse poor tackling, execution, Anae's play calling, etc.

MajorZeus

10/7/15 11:50am

Eisen isn't excusing BYU, he's downplaying Michigan's win.

boogers

10/7/15 11:52am

Of course it does! My guess is you are not at your best when you are exhausted.

DappInc

10/7/15 12:19pm

That is more mental than physical.

Heinz57

10/7/15 12:29pm

Yes it does....A tired athlete is not going to be near as sharp. It will affect

deckard667

10/7/15 12:24pm

And a tired team that is not sharp will make a coach's play calling look worse..

deckard667

10/7/15 12:31pm

Are you serious? 4 games into the year and we are tired? How about Michigan

MajorZeus

10/7/15 12:47pm

Yes I am serious...They had more talent but that was probably the case with

deckard667

10/7/15 2:27pm

Dumb argument. We were so tired that we came out flat against UCONN and defense

MajorZeus

10/7/15 3:11pm

So the Michigan game (POV of the national media)

We were tenderized, but I was still impressed by Michigan

goldy

10/7/15 1:05pm

Michigan is a much better team week 4 than they were week 1...

icecougar

10/7/15 2:20pm

Yep like UConn was tired for crossing the country and starting play at 11PM

UneducatedFan

10/7/15 1:15pm

NO NOT LIKE UCONN....Their Schedule was:

deckard667

Or maybe we stop looking for excuses.

UneducatedFan

10/7/15 5:56pm

Michigan played perfectly. It was both a beautiful game plan and beautiful

QBarrister

10/7/15 1:48pm

They might have played their best game of the year...good point...
