This was the issue, BYU is a physical defense that got exposed by legit athletes

Their RBs & WRs were making tons of guys miss in space, our Frosh CBs couldn't keep up with their WRs, and our front seven did a terrible job of containing/tackling their quick RB.

And the fewer points scored

Nobody has. They came into the game #1 in nation in sacks allowed.

rampant holding by the OL that is ignored by officials is quite an advantage

Even for running a spread offense, many of their plays were very quick.

Spot on. Every time they threw an out route to the sideline, completion made.

Yeah, because they have a really good offense

saying our D played fine is like saying Taysom played fine

coug10278

He played better than fine.

They were a lot more athletic than we were.

certainly not on special teams

If "athletic" means speedy, yes ... if "athletic" means strong, no

Biggest reason we lost was lack of consistent offense.

turnovers...

And Jamaal's fumble set the up on their own 41

3 INTs

They scored more than we did. Duh!

BYU I Bleed Blue

Probably right. Did BYU ever really stop them?

Endocoug

9/26/16 6:23am

Defense definitely had a rough time, but, to only give up 28 points

The sad part is that BYU's kickoff coverage was outstanding most of the day

CaliWG

One other play that seems to get lost in all the discussions is Jurgens not

eyebleedblu

9/26/16 9:17am

Terrible decision but we stilled kicked the FG so no harm no foul.

erodcoug

9/26/16 9:20am

Had Jurgens run out of bounds when he should have, there was enough time to take

BYUlv

9/26/16 10:16am

Given our track record of going for the end zone, I am okay with taking the FG.

erodcoug

9/26/16 10:21am

Valid opinion. It's definitely a risk with this offense to take an end zone shot

BYUlv

9/26/16 10:50am

Everytime they did they'd throw a swing pass to a wide open HB or WR

byukarl

9/26/16 9:45am

Seems like every time the defense got into the backfield there was nobody

He had so much time.
