Come on. He was coming back from a terrible injury.

GOR All-American

Didn't have passing reps in the offseason because of it and didn't have the moves that he had before the injury. He was still great though IMO and didn't get enough credit during the season.

The narrative that our offense has done nothing good under Detmer is wrong.

Thanks to two all time leading rushers that went on to the NFL

Jericho

No doubt the Jamaal/Taysom duo had a lot to do with the good stats

GOR

With a QB/RB combo like that... Gary Crowton would have had a heyday

Coaching is overrated when you have great players. Great or not, your record is

From 4th grade to Pro I agree. There are some anomalies,

Stop projecting your opinion or what some CBer's said on me or on reality

I'm not projecting ANYTHING on you.

I've always been high on Hill and wanted him to start until he graduated in a

Jericho

I'm with you. Really, I am.

Eddie

9/26/17 4:53pm

I called him talented because he was a Heisman candidate before he got injured

Jericho

Listen - this really isn't about YOU.

Eddie

He was injured

Most teams that do well in college have at least two similar types of players.

Refugee

There were indeed some strong aspects to our offense last year. Folks got frustrated watching the passing game

CalGTR

9/26/17 3:18pm

Exactly. No doubt the passing game had (has) major holes. But the strong aspects

GOR

9/26/17 3:21pm

It shows that with an NFL QB and RB we could only muster an average offense

ayfan

9/26/17 3:24pm

Hill wasn't an NFL QB.

GOR

9/26/17 3:44pm

Right, he couldn't throw because of his foot... lol

Jericho

9/26/17 4:14pm

If we just wanted him to be John Beck...

Eddie

9/26/17 5:39pm

He had a better passer rating as a true freshman fresh off a mission...

Jericho

9/26/17 5:42pm

Are you talking about Mangum or Hill?

Eddie

9/26/17 5:50pm

Hill played here and there and eventually started two games before being injured

Jericho

9/26/17 5:54pm

Just to be clear what we are talking about...

Eddie

9/26/17 6:10pm

My point is that he was a freshman completely new to the college level

Jericho

9/26/17 6:16pm

Accuracy is accuracy.

Eddie

9/26/17 7:05pm

It's not just accuracy though, that's what you don't seem to understand.

Jericho

9/26/17 8:07pm

I understand.

Eddie

9/26/17 8:15pm

You never answered my question about Taysom vs Nebraska though

Jericho

9/26/17 8:22pm

You keep missing my point.

Eddie

9/26/17 8:29pm

I played the position in HS, so I do have some idea about what is needed

Jericho

9/26/17 8:39pm

I agree that something has to change.

Eddie

9/26/17 8:42pm

I actually expect to see us running more uptempo read option this week

Jericho

9/26/17 8:44pm

That's from this year, right?

smokymountainrain

9/26/17 9:26pm

Yes. Hill didn't play for BYU and in the NFL last year.

Scratch

9/27/17 8:23am

that seems obvious to everybody but you considering i said he wasn't

smokymountainrain

You're wasting your time

BYURider

9/26/17 5:43pm

I'd be happy to get 200 yards passing per game

Jericho

9/26/17 5:48pm

You'll get it this week

BYURider

9/26/17 5:51pm

We had the 66th offense last year, against some bad teams with 2 NFL guys.

Turbine

9/26/17 3:20pm

All we need are two NFL caliber players at QB & RB to have a perfectly mediocre

smokymountainrain

9/26/17 3:26pm

Hill wasn't a freak athlete and certainly wasn't a NFL caliber QB last year.

smokymountainrain

9/26/17 3:26pm

Partial credit. He was also out of place in a system that didn't use his legs.

Turbine

9/26/17 3:28pm

Taysom Hill was "not" a freak athlete? You mean just last year?

BleedCougarBlue2

9/26/17 3:29pm

That's because he was way too bulky along with most of the team. Hill now looks

SnickSnack

9/26/17 4:21pm

He still had his 2nd best rushing season last year and was good enough to

Jericho

9/26/17 4:38pm

Not a great point considering all other seasons but one

SnickSnack

9/26/17 8:52pm

at the start of the season I did think he was slower

Jericho

9/26/17 9:41pm

We were 62nd in scoring Offense, that isn't good

ayfan

9/26/17 3:20pm

Who cares about yards if you have the ball for the entire 1st quarter & score 7?

GOR

9/26/17 3:23pm

Your ignoring my main point, 62nd is scoring is not a good offense

ayfan

9/26/17 3:29pm

I'm not ignoring your point. 62nd in scoring IS a good offense IF

GOR

9/26/17 3:53pm

Also worth noting that over the last 9 games we scored 37ppg.

Phcole

9/26/17 4:02pm

Yep, the stats that really matter are 1) points per possession and

Scratch

good luck replicating a 5th year senior with 1000s of reps and an all-time RB.

ag4cougs

9/26/17 3:35pm

we were barely average with GOAT at RB and best athlete ever at QB

nashty

mid 60's nationally. That was easy.

ag4cougs

No, because you're wrong.

GOR

How about UCLA? Utah? Did you even watch those games?

Left Shark Coug

You move at an extreme snail pace and rack up stats on bad teams.

Left Shark Coug

Except that's untrue. WVU was a top 40 defense in ppg allowed. Toledo was 54th.

Phcole

Hmmm..if only there was a high scoring game last year, one the defensed needed
