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

execution. It happens. It doesn't mean they are world beaters, but you also can't dismiss it as BYU being "tenderized." BYU played a perfect game against UCLA with Max Hall. We killed them. And then we got killed by TCU. One game doesn't speak volumes, it speaks one volume, as in one game. It means something, but not everything.

It was more than BYU being tired

Carnac el Magnifico

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

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

Yep.

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...

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

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

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.

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

10/7/15 3:29pm

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)

Heinz57

10/7/15 12:28pm

Blaine Fowler said the same

BBLUE76

10/7/15 12:48pm

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

10/7/15 1:15pm

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

Or maybe we stop looking for excuses.

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...

I'd agree with Rich if it was a close loss...
