I must've watched a different game than many of you.

Defense gave up 180+ yards to their RB, that is not stellar

Littlerich

9/3/19 2:32pm

Were most of those yards without Tonga?

Acorn

9/3/19 2:38pm

The defense can't rely on Tonga to be out there every play.

Littlerich

9/3/19 2:41pm

Acorn, you can laugh, but a stellar defense doesn't hinge on one player

Littlerich

9/3/19 2:46pm

You never answered my question. You made up your own question and answered it.

Acorn

9/3/19 3:04pm

I am not sure exactly when Tonga stopped playing. Moss had 72 yards in the 1st

Littlerich

9/3/19 3:11pm

How many points did Utah score in the first half?

Acorn

9/3/19 3:12pm

They scored 3 offensive posts in the 1st half. But

Littlerich

Tonga is one of 11 guys. And this staff assembled the roster. Sorry, not an excuse for the poor run D.

You think BYU is the better team (link). Is that with or without Tonga?

Acorn

For the life of me I can’t imagine talking crap to a 10 year old.

I stopped reading after you set 2017 as the benchmark. That is so demeaning

Basically, take away most of the things that turned the game into the game

I see what you mean, but I disagree about considering 2 plays "most of the game"

My point is that removing those two plays make it an entirely different game.

a priori

9/3/19 7:04pm

Sure but it's been that way EVERY YEAR. When do we stop doing that?

ManicBlue

No clue.

How about defense gets an hour to rest comes on field- utah never throws

Covered all the bases here: Classless Ute fans, bad refs, better team winning

Come on... no one is saying coaches should be gone based on one game. It is based on 4-8 and then 7-6

Here’s what I don’t get. People keep saying “take away the three turnovers and it’s a close game”. Well of course!

Other than that Mrs. Lincoln how was the play?

Well, sure. We can all look at the bigger picture and realize what’s really important.

Because when you isolate 2 plays from the 100 or so

D was solid in the 1st half and bad in the 2nd half

IF Max Hall doesn't complete that pass to Andrew George it's 10 straight....

Hey we could beat Clemson if we take away all the crap our team does.

UU was favored by 6 but won by 18 (25 if they don't kneel at the 3)

run26

9/3/19 2:58pm

So if we lost by 5, would you or this board be any different? (Nope)

Acorn

If BYU lost by the point spread I'd be disapointed but not alarmed

Okay. But if "we're expected to lose" to Utah indefinitely, I'm not happy. Further, it's unacceptable. Period.
