It's nice UCONN yielded so many first downs on 3rd and long. It should be a concern that BYU found itself in that position so often.

One conclusion I reached is Anae likes to run "poor" plays to setup a big play. Multiple times against UCONN the big play worked but it came after a stretch of very unimaginative and unproductive plays.

For example, BYU will have a stretch where they run on first down. It gets to the point where everyone knows BYU is going to run on first down. Then BYU will do a play action pass and get a big gain. Or, BYU will have a stretch of all passing plays. You start to wonder if BYU will ever NOT pass the ball. Then they will run a draw play for a big gain.

Setting up the surprise play is a useful tactic. My concern with Anae is I believe he justifies too many "poor" play calls in anticipation of the big play call working. Against better teams the inefficient plays calls add up and put BYU's offense in a bad spot.
