Is Ty aware of how badly the fan base wants him to

DB Cooper

7/24/17 3:11pm

I hope he just punts on 1st down.

BYUALWAYSNUM1

7/24/17 3:12pm

Whatever it takes.

DB Cooper

7/24/17 3:12pm

It would be blocked.

bluegato

7/24/17 3:20pm

I hadn't thought about that...

BYUALWAYSNUM1

7/24/17 3:22pm

Only if it's from deep in our own end zone.

chilango

7/24/17 3:27pm

Ooh, fake punt on first down.

DB Cooper

7/24/17 3:28pm

Although, it would be even better if we lined up in punt formation when the utes

chilango

7/24/17 3:39pm

GreenRake is a legend.

BYUALWAYSNUM1

7/24/17 4:04pm

Or we could just turn around and kick a FG for them to prevent the TD

BluebloodOR

7/24/17 4:31pm

Probably be called as safety - out fumble out of bounds in the EZ. Even better.

BluebloodOR

7/24/17 4:34pm

Fake punt, maybe?

or just take a knee

icecougar

It was play two last year . Ran first play.

Turnpike Lane

7/24/17 3:13pm

No it was the first offensive play

OC Coug

whirl

7/24/17 3:42pm

It's still crazy thinking Utah won that game when you read the outcome of each

Pistol Shrimp

7/24/17 4:16pm

First play last year; 3rd play in 2015 though.

rggee

7/24/17 11:48pm

The luck on the first play the last few years has been almost impossibly bad.

jensen46

7/24/17 3:13pm

Just win the toss and defer.

catawag

THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^ PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

TNT

7/24/17 3:22pm

The results of our first few plays have been obscene in recent history.

DB Cooper

7/24/17 3:25pm

TNT is just saying a lot of it is mental at this point

TNT

7/24/17 3:26pm

I am mental at this point.

DB Cooper

7/24/17 3:27pm

This is why a large margin BYU victory seems

bluegato

7/24/17 3:37pm

It's been 20 years since a dominant BYU win

TNT

7/24/17 3:37pm

It absolutely is 95% mental. The other half is physical.

dilbert

7/24/17 3:37pm

Yogi relative?

bluegato

7/24/17 3:39pm

I want them to score a touchdown on the first play

YIsForBrigham

7/24/17 3:23pm

I've thought about this. Play action deep to jonah

cougarmanguy

7/24/17 3:28pm

Yep. Then go for 2 on the next play

Ulysses14

7/24/17 5:10pm

Then onside kick.

Squire

7/24/17 6:56pm

Now we're talking

Ulysses14

7/24/17 7:12pm

..or have courage, make a gutsy call, execute, and hang six on em right away.

zephyr

7/24/17 3:25pm

amen.

Kugmo

7/24/17 9:26pm

I'd settle for playing the 1st Qtr even. 2010 was the last time BYU led after the 1st and that was 3-0.

SpiffCoug

7/24/17 3:29pm

take 3 knees and punt

BigYfan

7/24/17 3:30pm

2 knees and quick kick

lightmann

7/24/17 4:29pm

I would pay money to see a kneel down on the first play.

shakinbaker

7/24/17 3:33pm

I would guess that a portion of the fan base would, in fact, stand and applaud

DB Cooper

7/24/17 3:36pm

Seriously. It would get the monkey off our backs. I would not object.

BluebloodOR

7/24/17 4:20pm

As I sat in RES watching last year's first play I couldn't help but just laugh

OC Coug

7/24/17 3:36pm

YES. We have got to learn from our mistakes.

Pigskin Pete

7/24/17 4:05pm

If he passes, make it a bomb, on 1 on 1 coverage...

ocmyhome

7/24/17 4:17pm

Blitzing LBer comes free, hits Tanner's arm as he's throwing it, ball floats

shakinbaker

7/24/17 4:19pm

True, could happen. And knowing our luck, sticking to a run play might be ideal...

ocmyhome

7/24/17 4:23pm

Just swing it out to the side. D will never jump that route.

BluebloodOR

7/24/17 4:18pm

I was just thinking about this very thing last night.

SausageKing

7/24/17 5:10pm

So true. I was like "just go 3 and out"

Quacker

7/24/17 5:17pm

He says he wasn't aware of CB's current advice, but he's for sure implementing

Goliath

7/24/17 5:27pm

I'm all for the "forward pass." Just not on the first play.

DB Cooper

7/24/17 5:28pm

Just give it to squally so he can burn another year of eligibility

CT98

7/24/17 5:34pm

I doubt it. You should definitely tweet at him about it.

SingleStrapBackpack

7/24/17 5:35pm

Well, the timid ones do, at least.

RebelScum

7/24/17 6:00pm

I busted up at the QB kneel idea. Love it.

Bgash

7/24/17 6:12pm

There's a premium for passing on first down.

ChinoCoug

7/24/17 6:25pm

DB Cooper- The official BYU fan base spokesman....

byu_coug

7/24/17 7:46pm

Attack UTAHS lbers..they are weak there. Don't mess with their cb's

CarolinaCoug

RE: Is Ty aware of how badly the fan base wants him to

steelah1

7/25/17 1:26am

Or, throw a pass without an INT. That would be ok, too.

Real Men Wear Blue

7/25/17 10:58am

I'm also OK with Mangum geting the ball and just throwing it into the stands 3Xs

BYUALWAYSNUM1

7/25/17 11:05am

This followed by a solid win: does it go down as legendary or 'playing scared'?

BluebloodOR

7/25/17 12:46pm

We will cross that bridge, when we come to it.

BYUALWAYSNUM1

7/25/17 2:24pm

Id take a knee
