We know Tanner won't pepper the 20+ yard passing routes

50 times in any game, but I would like to see more 5 to 10 yard crossing WR routes, TE routes as well as the very good running package BYU has. That low to mid range, Tanner can be very effective and once in a while, Tanner can go deep.

BYU history states defense cannot give up more than 24 pts to win....

I realize that Bronco stated that but to get to 8 or 9 wins you usually need to

Somebody wasn't around during the WAC days. Your stat is based on Bronco's

Leave Tanner alone. Support our players. Stop hating on Tanner 😉 Well said.

We also know the receivers can't haul in a pass thrown that far downfield either.

Sad reality

I really need some proof on this claim. We haven't had a QB with downfield

Well in the first three games we have had three deep balls that I have thought

Collie's was a drop. The other two were catchable but were not easy

I can't.... have you WATCHED the games? How can you claim Tanner's

Umm yeah, I have watched each and every game

Yeah no BYU QB since Hall has been able to throw past 15 yards with consistent

Disagree. Christian Stewart threw the deep ball as well as anyone.

I miss that guy. He had some beauties.

Ironically it was also BYU’s best offense in the Mendenhall era

First, you're wrong. Second, it's a separate issue from the QB. The notion

How many long passes have they caught this year? How many have they dropped?

Indy Coug

9/19/18 11:21am

Hard truth. Maybe why the jet sweep works so well? More RB action to the rescue?

Iki_Balam

Agree with all of that. He has exceeded my expectations. But the passing game will have to take another step still.

No doubt. My post was about the passing attack. It is more than just Tanner

biggest concern for me is that BYU has played two good defenses
