Pass is short of the sticks and Micah Simon can't get to the 1st down marker. If you throw before the sticks, it needs to be on time and timed in such a way that the WR can get some YAC.

Baylor Romney looking quite poised on his 1st drive of the Boise State game. Pass incomplete intended for Hifo. Almost picked, but Hifo becomes a defender and knocks it away. View

Something noticeable on this first drive. More linear play calling, no RPO. It's a run or it's a pass. #BYU #BSU

10/19/19 8:47pm

Give the ball to Khyiris Tonga

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 8:47pm

Huge first drive from BYU led by Baylor Romney. Baylor Stats: 5/9 62 yards BYU 7 BSU 7

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 8:49pm

BYU 3/3 on 3rd downs. Lopini Katoa looked great on that drive. 3 rushes 16 yards 1 TD The OL is decimated with injuries and yet opened up holes.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 8:50pm

Is the rain stopping each time BSU gets the ball back?

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 8:51pm

Sione Finau with a great open field tackle on the kick off cover.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 8:52pm

BYU's 1st D drive showcase a number of strong side pressures with Dayan Ghanwoloku. BYU struggled to cover the shallow crossers and dig routes. Putting Boise State in 3rd and mediums/longs is a good sign though. BYU can adjust play calling on 3rd down

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 8:54pm

BSU tries to throw the dig again, this time Isaiah Kaufusi peeled back and picks off the pass. Huge play. Massive momentum shift.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 8:57pm

Baylor to Bushman on 3rd and 6 with a stack route out route. Picks up the 1st down easily

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 8:59pm

Back up RB Sione Finau showcases his tackling ability on Kick off cover, then rumbles off the longest run of the game! 16 yard gain.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 8:59pm

Romney to Romney connection on the slant. Gain of 10 yards on the slant. BYU knocking on the door to score once again.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:01pm

Linear play calling once again on this drive. BYU looks to get to 14 on this drive. BSU only gives up 19.5 PPG. That's good for 27th in the country. #BYU #BSU

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:04pm

Dax Milne was open on the spring out, out route. Ball is slightly under thrown, incomplete. 3rd and goal.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:05pm

QB Draw goes for a TD, Brady Christensen gets called on the hold. Hands outside on the shoulder will get you a yellow hankie every time. Lopini goes for no gain. Oldroyd attempts the FG. 38 yards.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:07pm

FG Attempt is pushed right by Jake Oldroyd. 13/18 FG on the season. 9/10 on XP's.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:08pm

Conservative play calling on 3rd and long is probably the right call there all things considered. Oldroyd has been good this year. Unfortunate miss for BYU.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:11pm

A Sack?! Lorenzo Fauatea with a great play to setup a 3rd and long.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:12pm

Ball needed to come out on time due to the pressure that BYU brought. Ball was slightly underthrown and the BSU WR couldn't haul it in. #BYU #ESPN960

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:13pm

BYU play calling on both the defensive and offensive sides of the ball looks different. No RPO's on offense. Pressure on defense. #BYU #ESPN960 #BYUFootball

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:15pm

3rd and long from that distance, the probabilities of scoring a touchdown are extremely low. Early in the game, you play the probabilities and try to get points when you have opportunities.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:17pm

If you listened to the show this week on @espn960sports, you learned why punt returners and coaches yell "poison" or "peter" when the ball bounces short.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:19pm

There's a certain Kalani Sitake flavor to the defensive play calling tonight.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:21pm

Great fill by #41 Keenan Pili there!

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:23pm

So many 3rd and mediums / longs thus far and i'm loving it. Shamon Willis with a huge pass break up!

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:24pm

After muffing the punt, Aleva Hifo scoops it up and takes the punt return for 14 yards.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:25pm

Boise State gets a fairly short field due to a short punt by BYU and inability to move the sticks.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:28pm

Huge TFL by El-Bakri. A swarm of BYU defenders got into the backfield on that stretch zone into the boundary.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:31pm

Kaufusi's and PBU's go together like perfect harmony. Those long arms find their way into passing lanes.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:32pm

Poor decision not to field that punt and fair catch it. BYU has to start from their own 3 yards line.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:33pm

BYU backed up goes with the pistol inside power for a gain of 3.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:34pm

DE Curtis Weaver drops into coverage and gets a PBU vs. Matt Bushman on the out route.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:34pm

Pass is short of the sticks and Micah Simon can't get to the 1st down marker. If you throw before the sticks, it needs to be on time and timed in such a way that the WR can get some YAC.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:35pm

BYU and Boise State playing the field position game. BYU 7 BSU 7 Boise gets the ball back on the their own 42 yard line.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:36pm

Beau Tanner seeing significant playing time this week at Corner back. Dayan and Beau swapping positions for this game and possibly for the forseable future.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:39pm

QB sneak picks up the 1st down. Needed LB's coming over the top of the scrum.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:40pm

BYU has only given up : 18 carries 55 rushing yards 3.1YPC 1 TD 12 long That's great run defense.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:42pm

If you bring pressure and the QB breaks the pocket, you gotta make the open field tackle before the sticks

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:42pm

Keenan Pili on the PBU, almost an INT. #41 trying to channel his inner @thekehlzone. Boise State forced to kick a field goal.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:45pm

BYU icing the Boise State Kicker.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:46pm

#36 Eric Sachse is undeterred by the icing attempts. FG is good from 38 yards, the same distance that Oldroyd missed from.

@CriddleBenjamin

10/19/19 9:48pm

of note.. Jake Oldroyd kicked his into the 20 MPH winds.. Eric kicked his with the wind.
