Agree on almost everything except beating Utah.

Maybe it's because I live in Utah, but that is the most important game of the year. BYU continues to lose talent that the program needs to Utah because they win games and we don't. It's not a complete landslide, but it's enough and it's players who will make a difference.

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

9/3/19 2:28pm

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

9/3/19 3:24pm

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

9/3/19 2:46pm

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

Acorn

9/3/19 2:58pm

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

Utes do it and then train their kids to do it to adults

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

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

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

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

The Dude Abides

Other than that Mrs. Lincoln how was the play?

ArcticKat

9/3/19 2:56pm

I think what he is saying is it is a football game and no one should need to be

Acorn

9/3/19 3:10pm

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

The Dude Abides

9/3/19 3:13pm

Because when you isolate 2 plays from the 100 or so

9/3/19 3:17pm

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

Littlerich

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.

9/3/19 2:56pm

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.
