BYU - Utah Game Thread

[Gunk]

Tanner has 3 interceptions. He's had bright spots but for the most part he has not played well. Anyone claiming otherwise needs to go back and watch the game.

Arod is available for receivers coach. Cahoon was fired once before for a reason

[Matty-B]

In the end Mangum rose and receivers couldn't.
this team is in shambles

It only works if the offensive line can block and the receivers catch the ball. Folks the problem with this offense isn't the QB, it isn't on Ty (totally) it is on the receivers and their coaching and the offensive line and it's coaching.

The Cougar O-line is awful. 69 yards rushing isn't going to get it done. And Mangum isn't going to last the season taking this kind of pounding.

Isn't it all of the above? Isn't Mangum also making errors? That last drive, he made some great throws and our receivers stunk. Other times, Mangum has not looked on point. IMO, this was disappointing all around on offense.

2 dropped balls. Anyone still saying this is Tanners fault?

C'mon Man.. you're looking at the last drive only. Mangum was AWFUL the entire fist half and only semi decent the second half. He was good the last two drives. The bulk of this game you CAN look to Mangum.
He did turn it up at the end but it was too little too late

Alas. It was not to be. Alas.

Cahoon is a joke. Guy needs to be fired ASAP and Detmer needs to be put on the hot seat. Absolutely pathetic and the Holmoe has the audacity to charge $100/ticket like we're some BCS school.

BYU fans no longer expect or even think we'll beat Utah. Students have come to BYU, gone on missions, and have graduated without ever seeing BYU beat Utah. It's not much of a rivalry if your hope going into the game is that it isn't a blowout.

I disagree. While he was most certainly not perfect, there were missed plays by the receivers all game long. QB's only throw to guys they trust. He was trying to force things to guys he could trust. If BYU had a group of prototype physical BYU receivers from the 80's or 90's we would have had a better chance in this game. If BYU had the Oline from 96, 01 or 06, along with said receivers from the 80's and 90's we would have blown this team out.

No rest for this team, with WI coming to town. May the receivers improve. May the run game improve. May the coaching improve. May the kicking game improve. May my heart improve.
