BSU game thread

Well the 1st review went BYU'S way

Magnum so far has been sharp

Touchdown! Nice drive nice play calling a little lucky on the review but a good opening drive for the cougs

I'm done with 60% Mangum.

Game over Magnum is not good, doesn't matter if he 60% or 100%. This offense gave up after the opening drive PATHETIC!

I was hoping to see Critchlow start this game.

Mangum made a big mistake but otherwise is playing fine. The real problem is that our defense is falling apart in a very winnable game.

I am glad this is a Friday night game and I am not wasting a Saturday watching this horrible team play. Especially with so few nice Saturday's left before winter.

Mangum has 68 yards passing, the offense has a massive 115 yards but you are blaming the defense :skeptic: . Oh that's right the defense should only allow 3 points.

Yeah, I'm not buying the defense blaming. I have little confidence that our offense scores any more points without some turnover help.

BSU scored 17 points in the first half. 3 of those from Mangum's turnover. I don't see how you can put the other 14 on Mangum's shoulders.

I'm not saying Tanner's going to win us the game, but the criticism is a bit misdirected when the whole team is playing poorly.

No but an offense should be able to score 14 or more points shouldn't they?

Probably, but an offense is more than Mangum. Our backs and receivers can't make anyone miss, and our play caller keeps calling for 5 yd throws which demand yac, so Mangum would have to be 100% to make up the difference. Defense can't seem to get off the field right now, but I guess that's on Mangum somehow too?

The defense got off the field and then the offense gave it right back.

Absolutely not on Mangum it's on the whole team. Offense is pathetic and the defense plays soft. This team has no identity outside of losers.

Mangum is not a good QB and the "wild cougar" is not an offense. Blow it all up start over and bring in one of the redshirt freshmen, it's time to start building on the future because the present is a waste.

The redshirt freshman wouldn't make any difference. This is a bad football team. Offensively, Defensively and special teams. The whole team is a mess. This coaching staff has ruined a team that averaged 9 wins under Bronco for 11 years in the short period of time that it took to graduate Hill and Williams.

If defense keeps Boise from scoring any more than they have done their job according to Bronco. #magic24points

Bronco's defense shut this BSU team off in a blowout win for Virginia a couple of weeks ago. I watched that game. This defense has an unearned reputation. If this defense was good, it wouldn't give up 1st downs on 3rd and long consistently. This team is getting harder to watch. Being a loyal fan, I can't turn it off but this is bad football all the way around.

Dude, this is not a great defense. But, they are not doing terribly. They have to go out there series after series knowing that their offense probably isn't going to do anything. What do you expect will happen long term. The defense has not been stellar, but the failure is on the offense.
