I agree with most of your points, but Vegas expected a blowout.

BYU was favored by 23.5 points, and to not come even close to covering isn’t ideal. Kalani clearly wasn’t happy about how our defense didn’t get a single stop in the second half (USF scored TDs on every possession that half). If the team is going to have the special season we’re all hoping for, then the defense has to play better than it did last night. Hopefully all the dinged up defensive players get healthy this week.

Also, just a minor nitpick, the halftime score was 28-6.

Your last point is the best though they are all good.

Those are some great things to be positive about. Unfortunately some people choose to only focus on the negative.

It’s ok to be concerned about the defense’s ability to get off the field when

9/26/21 11:13am

We did not struggle with containing a mobile Daniels from ASU. He only ran for 8 yards against us. We played that well.

9/26/21 11:20am

How many times did he buy extra time with his legs and string plays out?

We were playing new QB with almost zero film and little prep with half the

Vegas saying BYU would win by 22, when they were only scoring 24 a game

Only if you think USF is on the same level as Arizona, Utah, and ASU.

Pretty sure Vegas is good at setting point spreads. They have a lot to lose or

Vegas hasn't been right on BYU spreads at all this year. 0-4

That was on Vegas, not BYU

Cheering for the spread can lead to a lot of disappointment.

9/26/21 11:21am

Do you think coaches and players should be trying to deliver results that match

Abe Froman

9/26/21 11:22am

No, but it is a fact that the AP and CFP rankings are influenced by perception.

9/26/21 11:26am

We jumped two spots in the rankings to #13. Maybe Vegas doesn’t shape perception

It’s still early in the season, polls are fluctuating quite a bit.

Yeah. I liked all of his points but he missed on the defense. The 2nd question

Recent history says it's working out great

I'm frustrated because I stayed up late to watch the second half...

9/26/21 11:40am

Yeah, I'm sure they had no interest

I agree with you except the defense. Even Kalani said they were supposed to get

9/26/21 11:49am

I think the goal was to get USF O off the field & not give up big plays – 1 of 2

Benfica1

9/26/21 11:57am

Definitely agree on the last goal. Felt confident in the win the whole game.

9/26/21 12:25pm

You disagree that the D wanted to limit big plays & get USF's O off the field?

Benfica1

9/26/21 12:41pm

I disagree it was the most important of the two to get USF off the field.

9/26/21 12:50pm

But they took a TON of time to score. I'm not saying that not getting them off

9/26/21 12:42pm

Normally I would agree. But our offense was doing the same thing. And I’d rather

Again, I'm not saying it's a good thing that BYU gave up long drives. I'm just

I understood your point. Just disagreed. And I feel justified with Kalani’s

9/26/21 1:13pm

I don't feel kalani's post game comments contradict what I'm saying.

9/26/21 1:17pm

Trying to put more pressure does not mean “letting the other team score”.

9/26/21 3:51pm

Agree.

They tried to get to the QB. Backups or new players at so many positions last
