Yes we all do. That was a great gameplan in every phase. I guarantee you USC will crush some teams this year

I hope so. I hate those guys so much.

Other than the same play 3 times on 4th down, I don’t remember any

Mike Honcho

I think I must be the only one who didn’t mind that play.

GidolanKeep

9/16/19 8:02am

I don’t mind the play itself. Or calling it in that situation

Mike Honcho

9/16/19 8:04am

Well given that a QB sneak has an 85% chance of success & is roughly twice as likely to succeed at that down and distanc

That play is meant to send a message to the players. It tells them we

The fact is we got the first down it was just a terrible spot by the ref.

It was a bad spot.

and i guarantee you the Grimes will have a new wrinkle now for that play moving

Agreed. On the flip side it is a play designed that all involved knows what’s

Yeah, I was waiting for a wrinkle there. But, we didn't see it. He has done a

leaving points on the field doesn't mean the playcalling was bad.

molodyets

9/16/19 7:34am

Sounds like that was KSs call

fattycoug

9/16/19 7:36am

They looked at the stats and not the actual play calling. To me, it

Baron

9/16/19 7:44am

It’s a motion oriented RPO offense with the QB free to create. That’s the identity

9/16/19 7:55am

Maybe that's what they want it to be but they have yet to achieve it or close to

Baron

9/16/19 8:03am

They run RPO about 60% of the time and someone is in motion about 40% of the time. Zach has the freedom to make reads

I got it in FO. Thanks for your thoughts.

Baron

Yeah, dedicated college football writers didn’t watch the ABC mid-afternoon game

Sad.They should lose their job if that is true.

He was being sarcastic.

We definitely have an identity it’s just loose

Maybe I have spent too much time associated with football...I need to step away.

Tweege

I'm sure Trojan fans felt much the same way.

BlueFever

Yes. Not everything worked perfectly but the scheme was great

kccougar

9/16/19 8:13am

I feel like play-calling etc is getting better ...

icecougar

9/16/19 12:07pm

Totally agree on getting Ty'son more touches out of the backfield...it would be deadly to have to account for it!

RUNBYU1

9/16/19 12:17pm

There are some crazy options that come out of that formation. KS referred to

Tweege

9/16/19 1:40pm

Yep. Ask the refs how hard it is to find the ball in that formation. 🙂

bluesloth

9/16/19 1:48pm

on that 4th and 1 after we blew the element of surprise I would've loved to see us add a wrinkle...

icecougar

Agreed

Me too. Loved the go for it, not the call. See attached about wrinkles.

I almost wonder if using Dayan is strictly because of his jersey #

It may have that effect (a little bit), but they used Dayan in that role last year as well,

You are correct. But final score modifies perceptions for many.

Probably his best game since coming to BYU. Entertaining and successful.

Benfica1

9/16/19 8:00am

Great game plan for sure. My only complaint is they sub Ty'Son out too often at times.

Turnpike Lane

9/16/19 9:21am

Ty'Son looked pretty gassed when they subbed him out this game.

Machiavelli

9/16/19 9:43am

I think 20 touches per game is good for him

As good as he is, he is a liability when it comes to pass blocking. Esukpa is

He had a great block on Zach's TD pass to Milne.
