Noooooooooooooo. Why!!!! For the love of all that is good, make it stop

Special Teams Coordinator, Kelly Poppinga said Ryan Rehkow was supposed to run inside on the fake field goal attempt at Arkansas.

He believes he gets at least a first down if he does so and added that BYU loves fakes and there are more ahead. pic.twitter.com/J9NrfzZWdP

Kelly is being generous. Ryan had no chance.

I'm still trying to figure out how Rehkow missed that enormous hole. Especially when it seems that was the play design.

Indy Coug

9/18/23 1:17pm

Exactly my thought

VACougMD

9/18/23 1:18pm

He was running with his eyes closed

Beggar

9/18/23 1:20pm

But that is what Obi-Wan recommended

TNT

9/18/23 1:47pm

Uncle Rico heard a whisper, "Let go..." and that's when his eyes closed

dingus79

9/18/23 2:23pm

Boy, it sure looks to me like that linebacker was closing that hole before

9/18/23 1:28pm

Yeah there was obviously no hole.

YOHONOMOTO

9/18/23 1:57pm

#40 was crashing down the line. No way he gets the 1st even if he hits the hole

9/18/23 1:30pm

#40 would have demolished him.

Who was supposed to be blocking 40? If that block is made, then

BYUHgrad

9/18/23 8:28pm

Well that is the problem with such high stakes plays counting on 11 players

Cougarbib

9/18/23 8:33pm

Austin Riggs. Coach Pop says so in the interview.

JAK

9/18/23 8:49pm

Exactly. A RB would have Pay or our other center blocking. Instead we have a

Cougarbib

9/18/23 8:54pm

Long snapper - tough spot to be in for that play

Coop

9/19/23 10:31am

I think he's terrified of contact.

whoneedscorners?

9/18/23 1:32pm

Because he's a punter, not an RB

Why not have a running back there to receive the fake punt?

Archaea

9/18/23 2:51pm

It was a fake field goal this time.

Cougarbib

9/18/23 8:57pm

It seems like an obvious point of failure in play design to rely on a punter to

BYU'01

9/18/23 3:33pm

He’s a punter not a running back. Also there is a guy scraping down the line

davidmj10

9/18/23 4:07pm

Watch the video replay. That hole lasted less that TNT’s cardboard house in a

Coug98

9/18/23 6:05pm

IDK, watching that video, the hole closes really fast.

WhyaskY?

9/19/23 2:05pm

How did he run into the back of his own guy rather than through the gaping hole

VACougMD

9/18/23 1:17pm

Because he’s a 6’5 240 lb punter and running the ball is foreign to him.

NewBYUfannonLDS

9/18/23 1:21pm

While that is true, running to a gaping hole instead of into the back of your

LifeLongLakerFan

9/18/23 4:04pm

He was following his blocker as he was probably told to do. But, long snapper

Cougarbib

9/18/23 8:58pm

Tunnel vision, all he saw was the LB crashing in from the right so he went left

cougarstrong

9/18/23 2:20pm

Huge hole if he had run inside. It was there.

BYUtka

9/18/23 1:17pm

No it wasn't. #40 was untouched filling it. Rehkow wouldn't have made it

Blue Print

9/18/23 1:41pm

Yes, but coach also said that Riggs/long snapper was supposed to block him and didn't

JAK

9/18/23 6:48pm

Yeah more 4th down running plays for our punter

9/18/23 1:17pm

An RB scores there. Rehkow is not an RB

2FarGone

9/18/23 1:18pm

With a hole that big and open, I think TNT could have scored...

BYUtka

9/18/23 1:19pm

This!

zero84043

9/18/23 1:20pm

Have Kingston hold!

stoils

9/18/23 5:16pm

I love it!!!! Be aggressive - we will find something that works.

Swish

9/18/23 1:19pm

Definitely didn't follow his blockers.

JuicyJam

9/18/23 1:21pm

#40 would have destroyed him if he'd run inside. It was 7 yards and Rehkow is no

Corn Pop

9/18/23 1:21pm

Yeah he had no chance

9/18/23 1:23pm

He wouldn't have destroyed him. Probably would have tackled him short ...

Coop

9/18/23 1:39pm

Kingston should be the holder. Former QB with good hands and he would have had the vision and speed to hit that hole.

9/18/23 1:21pm

It makes sense but nobody does this anymore.

JuicyJam

9/18/23 1:25pm

Even a guy like Miles Davis, who was a top RB, last year before injuries.

Mabuhay Coug

9/18/23 3:08pm

Taysom is not the holder for the Saints.

JuicyJam

9/18/23 3:57pm

Actually, Taysom does hold. He is the backup holder.

Mabuhay Coug

9/18/23 9:24pm

That article is five years old.

JuicyJam

9/18/23 9:44pm

Nobody sealed off #40. I don't think he gets there.

Benfica1

9/18/23 1:23pm

No more fakes.

durandal

9/18/23 1:24pm

Great idea to risk injury to the best punter in the Country.

YbeatsU

9/18/23 1:26pm

This was my thought exactly.

Cougarbib

9/18/23 3:32pm

40 would have met him right in the hole. Nobody blocked him. Horrible play call

JAGA97

9/18/23 1:28pm

Looks to me like the snapper missed his block and his guy closed the hole quick

Bryceo19

9/18/23 1:44pm

So by advertising to the world that they are going to run more,

SV72 Sale

9/18/23 1:48pm

I'm clearly in the minority here but I like the call. I love 4th down football

CT98

9/18/23 1:50pm

If you only need a yard or two, you go for it with your offense. Don't fake punt

Nikomedes

9/18/23 2:12pm

I like the call if you’re the New York Jets.

YOHONOMOTO

9/18/23 2:14pm

It was a horrendous call. You are in the minority

Idacoug

Not in a two score game on the road. Take the 3 points.

Captain Rex

9/18/23 8:36pm

Luckily, the penalty on us forced us to take the 3 points in the end. Having a 7

Cougarbib

He ran right into the stack

AudiS4

9/18/23 1:53pm

Oh right because the inside looked wide open. What a joke.

YOHONOMOTO

9/18/23 1:56pm

Etienne misses on #40...

I'm not against fakes, but why run your upright runner who, at best, runs a

CaughtForaTouchdown

9/18/23 2:11pm

Use someone who loves contact , not a punter who runs from it. Scary coaching logic.

Also, am I the only one who thinks it’s asinine to risk injury to one of the

YOHONOMOTO

9/18/23 2:17pm

They should to reverse-fakes. Line up normally. Have Slovis punt it.

ryebrye

Straight from the Waterboy-he PRETENDS to fake

byuTX

9/18/23 2:42pm

I actually didn't mind the timing or location for this particular fake

gww687

9/18/23 2:46pm

Well, the field goal from 5 yards further back sailed right through the uprights

Cougarbib

9/18/23 9:04pm

Unlike many of you, I'm all for more fakes

OldFogey

9/18/23 3:26pm

I for one am glad the world now knows to expect fakes from us.

byujdmba

9/18/23 3:52pm

Two things here: 1. doesn't want to crush Rehkow by saying we'll never do that

provokid

9/18/23 4:24pm

They'll practice it and he'll get it right the next time they run it

9/18/23 4:50pm

If Sitake is going to keep calling this play, can the team at least practice it

BlueDiver

9/18/23 4:54pm

I love fake kicks, but I think they should have a holder who is an RB/QB/WR

runnincoug

9/18/23 5:00pm

That looked like he was running with his eyes closed

9/18/23 5:24pm

the hole was there...

CougarBuddy

9/18/23 6:26pm

Let’s not run our punter bc he’s not good at it and his health’s supes important

9/18/23 6:38pm

You just made me happy it wasn’t an injury

Your Royal Blueness

9/18/23 6:55pm

#76 totally let two guys run past him. One was #40 and another guy. Total whiff

jpal1397

9/19/23 12:22am

when Lavell Edwards was coach fans were upset that he rarely faked punts or FGs

greentruth

9/19/23 11:54am

Initially I thought there was a hole, but No. 40 would have gobbled him alive.
