The offense is a major disappointment

Post by frdbtr »

So the offensive line and receivers are no better than last year and we don't have Jamaal Williams and Tayson Hill to bail us out. This is not an offense that can beat LSU, utah, and Wisconsin.

Nope. Mangum, despite all he does well, can't take over a game like Hill or Williams could.

Wyoming and this game have definitely shown us why Taysom was the starter last year. This team does not have Detmer's offense down yet. Hopefully it all comes together soon.

Well, yeah... But this isn't the offense we're going to see against LSU, Utah, and Wisconsin. You honestly think BYU is going to cycle running backs 18 times in the LSU game?

Receivers are no better? How many dropped balls were there? How many impressive catches?

O-line seemed to be making holes and providing adequate protection.

WRs still got killed by pressing DBs at the line of scrimmage. Cahoon's clock is ticking. OL still couldn't pass block or run block. Fonua at RB and Bushman at TE were highlights. Tanner can throw the dang ball still, but needs more time and open receivers. LSU, Wisconsin, Utah, Boise State, and Mississippi State are not good match-ups for our offense.

No they are not, although their were any dropped balls the WRs are still wimps and the O-line allowed PSU to have way to many hurries on Mangum. I agree that the offense we saw to day wouldn't be able to beat LSU, Wiscconsin, Boise St., or Mississppi St. but Utah Has no offense and their defense probably not any better than Oregon St.'s defense. That said BYU will still have to play a lot better than they did today to beat Utah. :skeptic: ;)

Play calling was pretty weak with lack of power back on third and 2. Al Backri had some good moments Mangum started slow and was unimpressive. Offense was very tentative in second half. Sure miss the teams where they just lined up and threw the ball and gained momentum.

The WRs will under perform as long as Cahoon is coach.

Remember last season when we kept waiting for Detmer to open the play book up. We excused the lackluster play calling, thinking Detmer had some ingenious scheme he was holding back for special games. It never came.

Detmers offense is slow bland and unimpressive. This type of offense has been scrapped by just about every college team in the nation. The only time they made any real movement is when they went to a hurry up type of offense. There was too many games last year when watching paint dry was funner then watching BYU on offense and today's game was worse. It's time for Ty's offense to step into this century and open it up, play fast and please stop huddling and slowing the pace down. And maybe teach the receivers what the 1st down marker looks like. A 5 yard route when you need 7 is getting old.
