on Grimes. Especially on 3rd-and-short, we went with a slow-developing pitch play several times. What an awful play call.

I think if we hadn't beaten USC

I'm glad we beat USC. Those expectations are good and part of being a fan, especially a BYU fan. If we

I think BYU caught USC at the perfect moment. They had a rookie QB on the road

I think their 3rd string guy would have torched us

I said this a week after the game and I got torched...huge difference with true Frosh on the road....

Fink is much more inclined to just throw it up to their nfl receivers all game, which would’ve been more effective vs us

Yeah, if their "third string" qb went against us, we lose that game. The kid that played against us made some bad

Ug. USC played their best option at the time... same QB that carved up Stanford.

Yeah, I was hoping USC was a turning point because

Losing Ty'son hurt our offense and was a big difference. That, plus the early

Esukpa is still a good RB. He wasn't used effectively by the coaches vs Toledo

Richbyu

10/1/19 8:09am

Correct: Esukpa only had 12 carries and he averaged 5.1 YPC. Katoa had only 4

BerkeleyCoug

His 5.1 ypc is a misleading stat. It's padded by two big runs where he had big

Put another way, an offense needs to gain an average of 3.33 yards per play.

unless the refs are Pac12 refs and they're spotting the ball at 3 yds each time...

yes, big runs are bad and we should be trying to avoid them, not encouraging them.

icecougar

10/1/19 10:39am

Ty’son makes no difference on outcome. The running backs were both avg over 5

I think he would have made a difference on the third and short plays. He is

Esukpa should be used for runs up the middle. He's a power RB.

Richbyu

Your last point is spot on. "not being excited to be there" is a poor athlete

USC raised expectations. Toledo plunged them below reality. This is an OK team.

Benfica1

10/1/19 8:18am

OK?

Chester Copperpot

Excellent, Great, Good, Average, OK, Bad. They are Average/OK at this point.

Benfica1

Go look at the O and D rankings. BYU is bad.

Chester Copperpot

10/1/19 8:42am

Bad teams don't beat USC and TN. They are below average as a team.

Benfica1

10/1/19 9:13am

Tennessee is a bad team. It took a miracle last second FG 2 OT to beat them.

cougaman

10/1/19 11:12am

Yes, and?

Benfica1

10/1/19 12:19pm

BYU is a bad team. I thought I covered that.

cougaman

10/1/19 12:24pm

And you'd be wrong. They are an average/slightly below average team.

Benfica1

10/1/19 12:26pm

Average by what mark? They are well below average from what they should be given

cougaman

10/1/19 12:38pm

BYU is 2-3 (below average as I stated). UCLA is 1-4 (bad)

Benfica1

10/1/19 1:52pm

Im arguing that BYU is worse than an average team. They are not well coached and

What Toledo demonstrates is how valuable superior coaching can be. Their staff
