Actually yes, if it hits him in the hands it is most certainly "catchable."

Duke Silver All-American

That wasn't an easy ball to grab, but he still had a great opportunity to catch it. That's a ball he would probably end up catching 6 or 7 of 10 times.

My analysis of Taysom's 3 INTs after rewatching each play in slow motion.

If you watched Ty Detmer's career at BYU, that's who he is

Indy Coug

9/25/16 12:09pm

Agreed. I like the aggressiveness but I don't think we have an offense that is

CosmosCuzzn

9/25/16 12:13pm

Ty was a master at reading defenses

TNT

9/25/16 12:17pm

Wow, didn't realize he threw that many picks. Crazy he threw 28 INTs and still

If the internet had existed in the early 80s fans would have convinced

The last pick was deja vu to the end of the 91 Holiday Bowl

Any idea how many pic 6's he had his heisman year?

Makes me wonder if this is why he didn't take the job w/Bronco..too conservative

Slo mo is often NOT your critical friend. Just something to consider.

9/25/16 12:21pm

That is true. Just like police officers, it's easy to criticize players who have

CosmosCuzzn

9/25/16 12:29pm

Slo mo is more instructive of what shoulda been done in terms of assignments

#1, is all Taysom. #2, Taysom, but less than people think. #3, same as #2.

ask any receiver who has played, to a man, they say Juergens should catch that

smokymountainrain

9/25/16 12:41pm

Completely disagree - Ball is sailing up still, Juergens is fully extended with

Duke Silver

Mitchell does not have his arms fully extended. The pass is high but not 3-4

CosmosCuzzn

9/25/16 2:02pm

The film never lies

OGSuperfan

9/25/16 2:38pm

Ether way he was way too open for that to be an incompletion much less a pick

Beggar

That's a different angle then the one shown in the broadcast. From that angle

CosmosCuzzn

9/25/16 3:25pm

Agree, this would be an amazing catch for any receiver. It's on Taysom

Thundergun Express

9/25/16 3:26pm

Here's the angle I was looking at.

CosmosCuzzn

9/25/16 4:29pm

You've never played football have you

checoug

9/25/16 4:37pm

Yes I have

CosmosCuzzn

9/25/16 4:42pm

Disagree on #2. Jeurgens had both hands on the ball with palms facing outwards.

CosmosCuzzn

9/25/16 12:42pm

edited: #3 is all on Taysom, Hifo couldn't have done much more as he was running

Littlerich

9/25/16 12:46pm

This is the correct analysis. Thank you.

Gerald-DeGroot

9/25/16 6:30pm

You could argue 3 was also bad play design or poor player execution

Beggar

9/25/16 12:57pm

Yep... I'm wondering if either Hifo ran his route to long

Adrielle

9/25/16 1:51pm

Disagree wholeheartedly on #3. I've rewatched it many times. The ball was rugh

idacoug

9/25/16 1:54pm

The defender tipped it up. It was put in a bad spot.

CosmosCuzzn

9/25/16 2:05pm

hmmm I don't think the WR had much of a chance.

thebruce

9/25/16 2:16pm

It's obvious you've never worn shoulder pads and a helmet.

Actually I have

CosmosCuzzn

Halloween costumes don't count

Dillinger

9/25/16 3:21pm

I played WR and TE in HS

CosmosCuzzn

9/25/16 3:27pm

Then you'd know that full arm extension isn't as easy and sometimes isn't possible.

slowhiteguy

9/25/16 3:28pm

Especially in shoulder pads. After taking the huge hit he took last week. That

Dillinger

9/25/16 3:30pm

The angle I was looking at looked like his elbows were bent and about level with

CosmosCuzzn

9/25/16 3:33pm

maybe that's as high as he can get them in his pads.

slowhiteguy

9/25/16 3:55pm

Sort of like the pass juergens caught last year to win the game against Boise St.

You obviously didn't read my post very well. I put plenty of blame on Taysom.

Last year Tanner had Mitch Mathews to bail him out on a lot of 50/50 balls.

My problem with INT #3...

BYU4eVeR

9/25/16 8:28pm

I agree with you on #2 and #3, however #1 was clearly on Taysom

CougarsFanSince80s

9/25/16 8:29pm

All three are poorly placed balls. #1 was a dumb panic play.

IronPotato

9/25/16 8:56pm

Good thing you have a day job because that analysis is a joke
