BYU was -5 in 1984 and beat Michigan. There's that.

Wow. From ESPN: teams minus five or more in turnovers are

BYU '80

10/21/16 6:33pm

Five turnovers. Plus one turnover on downs. +2 unsuccessful field goals.

10/21/16 6:36pm

I feel like I should be happy about losing by 1 to a top 15 team on the road

BaghdadBob

10/21/16 6:37pm

Exactly how I felt. Plus the D giving up big yardage was also painful.

Yep, the only thing that would have been redeeming about last night would be to

Yes the D gave up 570 yards, but without 7 punts and 3 turnovers on downs, BYU

Biggest problems I had with the D is giving up big deep plays 3 times, and not

cougaman

10/21/16 9:21pm

Yah, gives you sick feelings. Credit Boise, but at times, it felt like no one

Kougrage

10/21/16 9:30pm

Wow - if you're complaining about the D in that game - your expectations are too high.

proudcugr

10/21/16 9:40pm

So I have no right to complain about missed assignments? D did good that game,

cougaman

10/21/16 10:15pm

You have every right to complain - things weren't "perfect" - they never will be.

proudcugr

10/21/16 10:23pm

My worry is if the D is going to be able to fill those major holes they have,

cougaman

10/21/16 10:41pm

That's a good point - and I worry about it too. But I'll take giving up a few deep balls

proudcugr

10/21/16 10:46pm

Until we don't get the turnovers and give up 50 like Toledo and WVU

cougaman

10/21/16 10:56pm

Very true - and when that happens, critiquing the Defense is very justified.

proudcugr

10/21/16 11:00pm

Both the BSU and Utah games were handed to us on a platter and we blew it

I'd fully support benching Taysom if he was the only position playing poorly. But he's not alone in season struggles

And this, Abe Froman, is you right now:

sakhr

10/21/16 6:54pm

Faulty logic. You assume defenses would scheme BYU the same with Mangum and

Michicoug

Nailed it, well put.

MatthiasG

10/22/16 2:00am

You think teams would for some reason not pressure Tanner like they are Taysom?

Mises

10/22/16 3:43am

One way to find out. Blitzing is a risk against effective passing because it

Michicoug

10/22/16 7:47am

The reality is - you just don't know this. Neither do the Tanner supporters.

No Abe. I think the coaches are wrong to not try Tanner.straight out.

Michicoug

10/22/16 7:49am

What surprises me is that Ty was a qb stuck behind a qb he proved to be better

Michicoug

10/22/16 7:44am

Abe, you have no idea who our best option is right now.

No - the coaches don't know either.

Lol - yup - exactly what I said - "The coaches have literally no idea". I seem to have lost that post though.

lol - actually No - "Coaches know more than I do but are not infallible" is not equal to "Literally no idea"...

Followed in the exact same post by "Coaches know a whole lot more than I do, but are not infallible"

Exactly. They study football, they form opinions and beliefs based on that study but those opinions "may" be wrong.

Since the options are to guess or to know for certain, I "guess" most fans know coaches aren't omniscient.

They also thought fake punt on 5 yard line was the right thing

We have 2 of those losses this year.

dave

No, we were only +3 in turnovers against the Utes.

cougaman

10/21/16 8:18pm

I'm happy we had no turnovers.

(Private)

10/21/16 10:10pm

I would actually trade a turnover or two for a more aggressive approach and downfield passing

proudcugr

BYU was -5 in 1984 and beat Michigan. There's that.

Can you name one recent college in pro style that had good passing stats?
