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

Heinz57

9/19/18 9:50am

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

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.

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

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
