4th down trick play - GREAT call

chazen

1/4/21 1:34pm

The problem wasn't the call; it was the execution

2FarGone

1/4/21 1:36pm

It was the actually catching part. Everything else was just fine.

mudpupper

1/4/21 1:43pm

I'd say the #1 problem with that play was Zach's decision to throw it to Romney

Beggar

1/4/21 3:34pm

Rex doesn't catch balls in the field. He saves that for the end zone.

Sid Vicious

1/4/21 1:36pm

Missing Rex there is a tragedy

Mrs Featerbottom

1/4/21 1:36pm

Romney probably still has a mark on his chest. Zach made the throw. gotta catch

fulano

1/4/21 1:45pm

Yeah but in that situation you take the easiest route to a first down.

Mrs Featerbottom

1/4/21 3:22pm

That's the type of catch Romney has made all year too.

jrob30

1/4/21 1:36pm

Wow. Didn't notice Rex during the game. He would have gone for another 10-15

Niiineteeen84

1/4/21 1:37pm

Probably would have been close to the same yardage as Romney

Charles Darwin

1/4/21 1:39pm

Yep. That was aggressive call and read by OC and QB.

The Old Y

Shows Wilsons confidence in Gunner... too bad

Cougar TD

I was laughing at the DB celebrating so much because it looked like Romney just

crack

does look like he punched out a sure catch

Cougarclaw

1/4/21 1:38pm

Nah, the ball bounced out of Romney's hands before he got there.

Benfica1

1/4/21 6:50pm

Yeah, the DB thought he broke it up. Romney just dropped it.

Benfica1

1/4/21 6:49pm

Yeah... but Romney really should've caught that

Rat

1/4/21 1:38pm

if he comes back to the ball, it's a catch

SaturdaySpecialDay

The difference between a brilliant and boneheaded call is whether it works.

All-American

1/4/21 1:38pm

It was a decent play call - but unnecessarily risky.

Eddie

1/4/21 1:39pm

It's an easier call after you've seen how the defense reacts to the play. You

dilbert

he could have ran it just as easily as well and made it no problem.

Cougz19

Rex was not happy he didn't get the ball there

SaturdaySpecialDay

1/4/21 1:45pm

Man, hadn’t noticed how wide freaking open Rex was. Not only would that have

Corn Pop

1/4/21 1:46pm

It wasn't a risk. This play had a much, much higher chance of success than

chazen

1/4/21 2:03pm

Twice the ball is tossed backwards on that play. That’s two risks right there.

Corn Pop

1/4/21 2:21pm

A wise coach once said three things can happen on a pass play and two of them

Blueto

1/4/21 1:50pm

We have not been successful picking up short yardage on the ground.

Brigham

1/4/21 1:51pm

That's a dumb saying.

JuicyJam

1/4/21 1:54pm

Seriously

chazen

1/4/21 2:01pm

Didn't we do that later in the game and not get it?

SUAVO

1/4/21 1:55pm

No wise coach says that in 2020. That is an outdated mindset.

Turnpike Lane

Not on 4th and 1

Never before heard Darrell Royal called wise

CougarThug

1/4/21 2:02pm

Seriously. I'm convinced some fans don't actually watch the games.

Ash

1/4/21 5:32pm

Funny to hear the announcer praise a DB after a straight drop.

bluecougar1985

1/4/21 1:55pm

Ya this play was one I thought about a lot after the game

BradioHead

1/4/21 1:58pm

It was better than a 54% chance of success to Romney. Romney caught 65% of his targets.

SpiffCoug

1/4/21 2:00pm

Have to disagree. So many things have to go right for that play to work

BamaCoug

1/4/21 2:13pm

We were at midfield?

SUAVO

1/4/21 2:19pm

When was the last time against a good defense that BYU was able to simply line

Ash

1/4/21 6:09pm

Gotta love seeing DBs celebrate when receivers just miss the catch

Hill4Heisman

1/4/21 2:57pm

Nah - he actually made a great play punching it out.

crack

After romney dropped it and tried to catch it again

SUAVO

1/4/21 3:05pm

this is hilarious. watch it again.

Beggar

1/4/21 3:13pm

Yeah, I can see it now when I watch it again.

crack

1/4/21 3:19pm

I think you were closer to the truth the 1st time.

Eddie

1/4/21 3:34pm

Wow. I never noticed how WIDE FREAKING OPEN Rex was. Poor decision by ZW.

Ham

1/4/21 3:25pm

The ball was perfectly placed in the chest of one of our best receivers.

All-American

1/4/21 3:37pm

Sure I can. It was a much tougher and riskier throw. Bad decision.

Ham

1/4/21 3:46pm

Let me rephrase. You can't blame ZW and be right.

All-American

1/4/21 4:42pm

Let's be clear here:

Ham

1/4/21 4:49pm

Zach can make those throws. In fact, he did. Decision was fine; ball was dropped

All-American

1/4/21 5:00pm

Clearly Ham's point is that Zach chose the lower % option. Romney had to go to

chazen

1/4/21 5:28pm

Imagine ZW being in a draft interview at the combine

Charles Darwin

1/4/21 5:06pm

That sounds like a fantastic "defense." Not that any defense is needed.

All-American

1/4/21 5:13pm

RE: That sounds like a fantastic "defense." Not that any defense is needed.

Charles Darwin

1/4/21 5:18pm

He did make a great throw. Just a bad decision.

Ham

1/4/21 9:01pm

I don't put it on Wilson at all. That was on Romney for dropping the ball.

BYUHgrad

1/4/21 3:51pm

As soon as you see a good opportunity, you throw - you don't keep looking for

Hill4Heisman

1/4/21 6:25pm

On thing to look at is why rin plays fail and when they work...

LEDSFW

Great call. Rex had the easy first down, YAC, and who knows what else. Too bad!

I think the rules officially allow offensive players to push, but not pull.
