This was the main factor along with the loss of JW, TH, and TT. Lack of Depth

My explanation of the Michigan game.

That's a great explanation

There's truth there but I think there's more...

I think you're a little too high on Michigan or a little too low on BYU...

nice setiment. I agree somewhat, but the way we lost was horrific.

"horrific"? That's a pretty strong word to describe a game.
StantonMac

Strong? Sure. It's also accurate.

what word would you describe that game? Abortion? anomoly? terrible? bad?
idacoug
10/7/15 12:07pm
The term 'dumpster fire' comes to mind
SouthernAZcoug

Abortion?

Abortion. I would definitely call it an abortion.

As football games go, it really didn't have much to redeem it.

They didn't reach 100 yds of offense until the last play of the game... So yeah

What about getting plastered after looking good for 3 games is NOT horrific?

Regardless of the truth it helps with national perception

What was the excuse last year v. utah st? nevada? How about in 2013 v. virginia
SoValleyCOUG

Ya. Why aren't we undefeated every year?
byu1
10/7/15 11:49am
Never expect that. Always an excuse though. It has become a trend with BYU
SoValleyCOUG
10/7/15 12:06pm
Ironic that a few years ago the rap was BYU always beat teams supposed to, but
byu1
10/7/15 12:19pm
Maybe to you, but they can pull a no show against any team.

The first couple of games you mentioned

Utah State...NO excuse...Nevada? Walk on QB that almost pulled out the game

Wasn't the score like 54-28? Yeah FSU was just better that day.

Sounds about right. Yes they were better. BYU was uninspired. BYU just beat Okla

Being tired doesn't excuse poor tackling, execution, Anae's play calling, etc.
MajorZeus
10/7/15 11:50am
Eisen isn't excusing BYU, he's downplaying Michigan's win.
boogers

Of course it does! My guess is you are not at your best when you are exhausted.

That is more mental than physical.

Yes it does....A tired athlete is not going to be near as sharp. It will affect
deckard667
10/7/15 12:24pm
And a tired team that is not sharp will make a coach's play calling look worse..
deckard667
10/7/15 12:31pm
Are you serious? 4 games into the year and we are tired? How about Michigan
MajorZeus
10/7/15 12:47pm
Yes I am serious...They had more talent but that was probably the case with
deckard667
10/7/15 2:27pm
Dumb argument. We were so tired that we came out flat against UCONN and defense

Michigan is a much better team week 4 than they were week 1...
