Byu USU game thread

[imuakahuku]

I stand by my statement that Koy Detmer is a bad option at QB. We better hope that Tanner or Beau is ready next week. I just don't see any way that BYU comes out of the next 2 weeks with a victory. Will this team be able to regroup and get 6 wins in a row after going 1-6? I don't see this team beating Hawaii on the islands this year so my opinion is that they won't. I think they will be lucky to win 1 to 2 more games all year. And folks, it is not all on the offense. The defense does just enough to lose as well. This entire team is in disarray.

This was all on the offense. The D had one bad drive and then dominated. Then the O just kept giving the ball back. Same story in the second half. That emotionally wore the D out who fought but the O kept coughing up the ball. We win this game easily if not for the seven giveaways. The were not takeaways they were giveaways. And what the heck do our QBs see? Throwing to people that are buried. They hit guys in the back. I don't know what they were looking at. QB play was absolutely awful.

The turnovers were the reason we lost the game but the defense gave up 1st downs late in the game that would have given the offense more chances to help us win. Clean that up and BYU possesses the ball again. I am not saying the defense sucked, but they didn't get USU off the field enough.

We didn't punt once in the second half and only scored 3 points. This loss is all on the O. As for USU, 34 points off turnovers. What team survives that? 4 drives end on TOs three on downs second half.

This might sound disrespectful to USU fans, but I think BYU would have won the game going away if not for the injuries to both Tanner and Hoge. We looked like the better team even with an injured Hoge in there, and he was really limited.

On the other hand, BYU's defense lost focus and could have kept us in the game.

What happened to pauu

Hurt.

when, how?

If Hoge can come back next week, I think we will have a reasonable chance.

I reported this post as offensive. Nothing can save BYU and you're trying to raise false hope...

[BroncoBot]

I'm not as negative. Coy improved as the game went on. Get rid of even 1/2 the turnovers and the game is winnable. Clean them all up and byu wins.

Not sure any other team will strip the ball as well as usu ...

If Hoge is back, I'm even somewhat optimistic about next week

You can't put the ball on the ground like that.

Or in the air like that...

You know it's darkest before the dawn. It's this thought that keeps me moving on.

Unfortunately it's darker than it is light in the fall/winter.

And then dawn will come! Or so my hopes and dreams tell me
