I didn't read all the responses

But, the coaches, in their first year, deciding to go for two against Utah would have to be high on my list. Cougs had fought back, had the momentum and could have tied with the extra point. Not to mention a young kicker that had just beat Arizona the previous week with a clutch kick.

You can change the outcome for a single play in any BYU football game. What play do you change and why?

Dax Milne scores against CC on the last play of the game.

This is a better option than mine posted below. I just hate Utah that much.

Manti

8/17/22 2:00pm

Algier scores on that last play. He was wide open down the sideline.

An alternative to this one-

We make the FG against Utah and their jackwagon fans on the field.

Manti

Dax Milne getting that extra yard for the TD at CC

letthewookieewin

8/17/22 1:59pm

Make the FG when utah rushed the field 3 times.

Ragnar Danneskjold

8/17/22 1:59pm

Or Taysom makes the 2 point conversion. That one is even better.

Manti

8/17/22 2:01pm

This. Because Utah would have a loss that was directly on the fans. That's rare

Bainge

8/17/22 2:03pm

It only would've sent the game to OT though. Not guaranteed that we win.

Manti

8/17/22 2:04pm

Well, if we can change it however we want: we throw a TD after the penalty.

mvtoro

I like this.

Manti

8/17/22 3:49pm

That was the play before. Riley was trying to hit a wide open Hoffman

Y05

8/17/22 3:50pm

True, but a TD on that play doesn’t make it the directly the Ute fans’ fault they lost. Has to be after the penalty or

mvtoro

8/17/22 4:25pm

Pk, so let's just say JD Falslev finds a way to run the blocked FGA in for a TD

Y05

8/17/22 6:08pm

Only if the fans somehow throw a block that springs JD for the TD. Needs to be their fault.

THE BAND IS ON THE FIELD!

As an added bonus, a loss to BYU that season would have dropped Utah to a 4-8

Taysom throw the ball for the two point conversion against utah

travelcoug

Or the freaking WR is actually on the dang field like he should be.

Dark Forest Green

8/17/22 2:13pm

I went back and watched the play. I'm not sure why I was mad at Pearson, for not being on the field. He had 0 effect

Dark Forest Green

8/17/22 4:18pm

This was the exact play that came to mind. He should have given it to Jamaal.

Big McLargeHuge

Jamaal was injured. Could not return to the game

Staley's injury was against Miss St.

Manti

Staley got hurt at Miss. St and missed the game against Hawaii.

Ozymandias

8/17/22 2:02pm

Take a game that BYU won and change it to a loss?

viper

8/17/22 2:13pm

It is better that one game should perish than that an entire era dwindle and perish in mediocrity.

Big Red Thunder

8/17/22 2:15pm

Yep I was gonna thumbs down it just for that one

RGGeemer

8/17/22 2:17pm

Wait, how does Riley not beating USU avoid a letdown season?

Zoobieman

8/17/22 2:20pm

Yeah, because I personally LOVE losing at home to USU.

Bossk82

I did enjoy that scoring streak...

I thought it was just shanked. And I didn't think it was Johnson.

I didn't see it. I have just read about it and it makes me sad.

You're right, it was shanked not blocked. But it was indeed Brent Johnson.

It seemed to head towards the left sideline bleachers instead of the endzone!

That left me w/PTSD. BYU outplayed Lee Corso's Hoosiers. I'm still in therapy.

travelcoug

8/17/22 2:07pm

You mean Taysom's 2 pt play in 2012? How about we just convert to take lead?

Y05

8/17/22 6:11pm

No. We finally benched Riley and put in a new QB named Taysom Hill and he

RGGeemer

8/17/22 7:30pm

But if we change the play to a successful 2 point conversion we win 8-7. No OT.

Y05

8/17/22 8:02pm

Fair. Still dumb

RGGeemer

especially since BSU had no field goal kicker! Never tried a FG just went for it

Riley Nelson's overthrow of a WIDE OPEN Cody Hoffman at ND in 2012. Still hurts.
