Tanner and the passing attack

BYUheaven

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

BYUheaven

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

Reasonable.

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.

Indy Coug

Sad reality

Heinz57

9/19/18 10:06am

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

Tanner's deep ball accuracy

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

SandYFan

9/19/18 10:32am

Umm yeah, I have watched each and every game

Is this the guy you’re talking about?

Yeah if someone added new ones to gifey or whatever that is

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

SandYFan

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

Kerbouchard

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

9/19/18 12:52pm

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

Grit for Brains

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
