Talkin College Football Interviewed Jake Retzlaff

I have to think SMU’s O line is just terrible

Two things can be true at once

I think people take issue when the negative is the only thing posted. I'm sure

Keep it up and don't engage the negative Nancys and chicken littles.

One more turnover by Jake is my tipping point.

When's the last time he didn't turn the ball over in a game? I think the bigger

I had to laugh when Andre Ware was going on about how deep and experienced our D-line was on Friday night.

Yup. Hearing announcers talk about a team I follow very closely has made me

Powerbait DPM

This line backer room is as good as we've seen.

IdahoCoug All-American

11:05pm

DL getting good pressure and the LB's filling gaps really keeps the pressure

SUAVO

11:09pm

What is really impressive to me is our depth. We have 2 4-star

GSwarriorcoug

...and Esera and both Moa brothers. It is deep and young!

Das_Countach

Can you imagine if a healthy Bywater was out there too??

Would've been nice, but it wasn't in the cards.

My son is playing NCAA 2025. Keeps throwing interceptions on varsity mode He is very frustrated…

Has he tried not throwing interceptions? Other than that no ideas. He’s probably

How old is your son?

RealTaysomHill

RE: How old is your son?

Il Vescovo

11:06pm

He’s probably trying to throw it deeps every play. If he was older, I would say to go through progressions like a real

RE: Time to play on freshman.

Il Vescovo

11:08pm

Check the sliders in the settings. He might be able to reduce the INT frequency.

crazY

11:15pm

Same here. I would win 124-0 on Freshman. Lose bad on Varsity. It is frustrating

BlueCoug

11:10pm

Change the difficulty level. Practice then slowly move up.

spugeddy24

11:10pm

Best thing in my opinion is to use plays like mesh, stick, drive

Sinbad the Sailor

11:12pm

There are adjustable gameplay sliders for coverage, INTs, and DB reaction time.

vagabonder

11:15pm

Sliders.The jump from Freshman to Varsity in that game is insane. I did the same

dave

Caleb Etienne's turnaround so far is eye popping

And many on this board were saying the old ol coach was just

cougarfann888

10:58pm

I knew he had all the physical traits to be good. I do hope he can still improve

Das_Countach

11:10pm

100% agree

IdahoCoug

11:22pm

I will say this…even if we lose to WYO, get smoked by KSU, and don’t even bother

Crowd Factor

10:48pm

Thought you were leading up to the Utah game with that.

Brisco

10:50pm

Update/repost: Still too early take on the roster and who is going to play.

roseyscenario Work-in-Progress

10:46pm

Is Mboup coming?

IdahoCoug

10:56pm

Maybe. They're still trying.

roseyscenario

11:03pm

Is it an academic thing, or something else?

IdahoCoug

11:08pm

Tripple and Tripplet? For real?

Heath Squashwell

11:10pm

And Trey. BYU is a 3 pt shooting team, after all.

Soupie

11:12pm

Wow, prognosis for Bosko that bad huh? Here I hoped we had found our

Mitty

11:16pm

He probably is that good. At this point, guess is Mag and Catchings are a notch up from the able Waterman.

roseyscenario

11:18pm

Hope so but that would require a big leap on O from Mag and Catchings

Mitty

11:24pm

Freaking Lassiter's YAC!

IdahoCoug All-American

10:45pm

His catch and run that took 6 defenders to stop was a thing of beauty.

G.Freeman

10:47pm

Just kept pumping those knees up and down, running through arm tackles, even after being wrapped up!

IdahoCoug

10:49pm

He needs at least 10 targets on Saturday

Ojiisan

10:55pm

Nah , just 2. Got to make sure Kody

claw

11:04pm

Top receiver if we can utilize him

Heath Squashwell

11:12pm

If he gets more targets, it's going to open things up for Roberts more too

We are going to be 3-0 👍

NYCougz

10:43pm

Well, you're not being negative. But that doesn't mean you're being positive. I guess that's an improvement.

Brisco

Getta outta here. No really. Get out of here

I can't remember the last game with better open field tackling. Very, very few situations where tackles

CSoul Hardcore Democrat

10:39pm

Yup. Compare Friday’s game to Oregon a few years ago. It’s dramatic.

Big Daddy D

We got a little lucky on some shoestring tackles but great effort overall

You can always mute football and just keep the politics and rainbow categories

BYU fans aren’t going to be a happy when we don’t have a decent qb

Hsaru

SUAVO

BYU fans are not unique here on this... if anything, BYU fans want to ignore the problems and just rah rah around them..

Game-day CB is the worst CB.

Well, those comments by Collie and Brian Logan probably helped get people fired up.

Bald Eagle

LJ's stats are almost the exact same as Ropati's. I think LJ makes decisions

SUAVO

10:26pm

Felt like all of Retzlaff’s best passes were when LJ played

puntersarepeople

10:28pm

Retzlaff had some really good passes after LJ went out. I also don't think LJ

SUAVO

10:30pm

So, it’s all about the depth at key positions again. Did we do anything to shore

Crowd Factor

10:26pm

We should have 2-3 more at LJ's level.

ochobeeguy

10:29pm

We have 4 RB's that average over 4 ypc. Granted, Davis/Nawahine haven't had as

SUAVO

10:42pm

I'd say anything sub 5ypc in college is substandard... 4 is standard for the NFL

Das_Countach

So, you are saying LJ is substandard? If everybody is substandard then you

Our ol is substandard. When we had a good line what were ropatis stats two years

We had a good OL two years ago?

SUAVO

10:59pm

Freeland? Kingsley? Pay?

BYU '80

11:03pm

That's true. Much better than what we had last year

SUAVO

11:07pm

Short answer is no, I think LJ is great, but as mentioned he had a terrible OL

Das_Countach

11:05pm

Same could be said about Ropati. He had a good average 2 yrs ago with a good

Did somebody on here say that Aiden Robbins was planning on coming back

Bald Eagle

True. I certainly didn’t hear or see this. But didn’t we know he was gone

Crowd Factor

10:40pm

Yeah not sure of the timing or if that was even true

Bald Eagle

10:41pm

No , he let them know he wasn’t coming back after the season

claw

Or maybe we just need to stop wearing navy. That actually could be it 🙄

Bald Eagle

The moment he went out of the game, SMU's defense changed and BYU's offense changed...

If the offense doesn’t come together the defense will wear down eventually. Snaps accumulate over a game and season.

The offense was actually on the field longer than the defense on friday

SUAVO

Yep thankfully SMUs offense sucked worse than ours. Our defense played so well!!

eventually ... but still gives us a solid chance at 6 wins.

BYU's defense saw almost 80 plays on Friday...

Coug

10:15pm

That's really not that crazy considering the TO's and how bad the offense was

SUAVO

10:21pm

It's probably not sustainable.... if our offense continues to go 3 and out consistently like they did Friday...

10:12pm

I don’t know… we might need an offense once we get to the 2nd round of playoff
