Thrown into coverage. DB knocked it away. Not much Hifo could have done.

And why are we even throwing a deep ball at all in that situation. Taysom has a 13% completion rate on passes 20+ yards and we only needed 10 yards for the FG. With just over a minute left I'd think short passes and runs until FG range is reached then you have time for a few shorter shots at the end zone. I guess the play call was as suspect as the throw itself.

And no I don't hate Taysom or Ty and realize they know more about football than me and I'm a bad person to even question that play.

Hifo should have caught that ball, looked like he misread it.

Fair point but a seasoned reciever would go through the defender, fingers up.

BD didn't even turn his head if Hifo plays the ball directly I think it is a PI

You're right about going for two. It's hurt us in two games now. I also agree

Everyone has to be absolutely perfect bail out Taysom.

Right, because Taysom is the only QB on the planet who doesn't throw a perfect

9/26/16 7:24am

Yeah, their called bad QB's and nobody falls over themselves to make excuses for them...

Coug

LOL, even good QBs make less than perfect throws, yet the WRs still catch them

9/26/16 7:35am

Good QBs protect the ball with one minute left and you're only a couple of

Guess Joe Flacco and Bolles don't deserve to be NFL QBs cause they both threw

Not to mention Ty Detmer on the last pass of his career at BYU.

9/26/16 8:24am

Wow that was a relevant post going back 24 years ago. We also didn't lose

Wow, that was an incredible interpretation of what I said. I didn't say that

Joe Flacco threw 2 picks on 2 game winning drives last night, Bolles than

If you think that was a great decision, that fine. It wasn't and you could tell

Agreed. Just saying Good QBs sometimes make mistakes, not arguing if Taysom

I said good QBS protect the ball, I think Taysom is a good QB.

erodcoug

9/26/16 2:28pm

Yep... every QB will make a bad throw... Taysom rarely makes even a good throw or decision, that's the problem.

Coug

You know, it is just as annoying for you to exaggerate the bench Taysom side as it is for you with the Taysom defenders

It's the timing of his poor decisions that is the killer. He needs to make

erodcoug

In every game this year he has driven down the field in the last minute...

I never said he chokes. I just want him to protect the ball better and make

it was a dumb decision to even throw the ball

Josef K

The defender had his hand in there as soon as the ball arrived

Indy Coug

Kurtz admitted he thought the throw was coming to him initially so he slowed

ByuMba90

9/26/16 8:27am

Shocked to hear that Kurtz was running a route slow.

SpiffCoug

9/26/16 8:48am

I actually thought it was a decent throw

jorsmith

9/26/16 9:27am

Exactly. That ball was exactly where it had to be for hifo to make the play.

Cougarrrs

And if Kurtz keeps running his deeper route, it isn't picked off

If that's exactly where it had to be, then I am thinking that word might not

So then it is Ty's fault then??

byu_coug

9/26/16 2:27pm

It couldn't be thrown outside and away, there was a defender in the end zone

Cougarrrs

9/26/16 2:43pm

If that question was for me, no I don't think it was Ty's fault. If the plays

erodcoug

I liked the call, but he threw the ball to the wrong side of the receiver.
