We were spoiled with many "complete games" last year, but playing better teams..

... makes us look "less complete" as the better players/coaches expose our weaknesses.

Many weeks, you just have to get that W; pretty, ugly, or in between.

I'll take it...

Seems something on offense just isn't clicking.

Pollster

Things are clicking for 2.5 quarters per game. First quarter been a struggle most of the year, and 3rd quarter.

Yep, 21-3 v Zona, 23-7 v Utah, 21-7 v ASU. A complete game and we blow each out

you mean the short side option play?

Hall has done well so far, but I think he still has room to improve in getting through his reads. He has been half a

Well...give some credit to other teams; they have good coaches/players too

This is just part of having a young qb

He’s been with the program for 3 years. With 5 starts now?

stoils

True but by those measures very few are new at BYU ever. Let me restate that,

A lot of good film to review that isn't disguising bad play because you're

This is a good point.

FatherOFive

Imagine how good Hall will be once the game really slows down for him. Takes more than a couple of starts for that.

I share his concern about the multiple 3 and outs vs ASU. Offense needs

Sale

9/21/21 1:44pm

It was frustrating to see so many 1st down plays that resulted in the loss of 2-3 yards. That option play needs to go

dilbert

9/21/21 1:49pm

Yup, 2nd & 12, 3rd & 9 really limits your options

Sale

9/21/21 1:54pm

He pitches it too soon and always does so. Get the defender to commit and it

scott715

9/21/21 1:59pm

Yep, but I think part of the problem is that they don't really want Hall to keep it or to get hit right after pitching

dilbert

9/21/21 2:06pm

spacing isn't right for it to be much of an option play. more of a way to get Ty

fulano

The problem is Ty is not an edge runner. The sweep is not his bread and butter

While I love to dream of 12-0, it's hardly a given. 2-3 losses still possible.

Huge Manatee

I noticed that, too.

FatherOFive

I also agree with this, I was saying each time BYU tried their stretch play

byublue42

9/21/21 2:57pm

It's the 3rd game in. ASU was worse than us in this regard, thankfully.

I think it’s funny when people expect us to peek in the first game of the season

travelcoug

I agree with you, though you can argue that last year BYU did just that

Dan

Consistency will come with experience. I worry about injuries/depth.

Oatmeal

9/21/21 2:24pm

Yep agreed. Super inconsistent. It’s amazing we’re #15 and undefeated

canofpicante

9/21/21 2:35pm

Serious question, how many other games have you watched this season other than

travelcoug

9/21/21 2:43pm

Part of 2-3 games a week?

canofpicante

9/21/21 6:29pm

and how many of those teams have played 3 P5's? None, and a lot of them haven't

byublue42

9/21/21 6:40pm

I get it. All schedules aren’t created equal.

canofpicante

they really need to have a breakout scoring game which will hopefully come

The offense isn’t great, but the defense has been stellar

This is the best RB WR TE core I have seen in years. And Jaren is more than

Jaren's legs are his best weapon - IMHO. Jury is still out on passing. He doesn't make a lot of

The defense has been winning games for us, we aren't scoring that much.

I will say I prefer how ARod used the QB run game: sparingly and timely

Is it inconsistency or just the back and forth chess match between coaches?

sunjieming

Jaren has only started 5 games, and in doing so, has completed only 2.
