BYU vs Washington game thread

That's the longest throw this season by our offense. Also ended up as the longest pass play.

We have had A LOT of penalties this game.

Dumb mental errors. Still, if we can hold them to 21--sounds like a tall order--we have a chance.

Has anyone else noticed that Washington is holding all over the place (and "edge blocking" on Kaufusi being another phrasing of "legal" holding) and not getting called for it?



What refs do we have, anyway?

absolutely no pressure on Browning and he is carving us up. Just as I expected. I was hoping otherwise but reality is reality.

QBs must dream about playing against BYU. No pressure, soft zones all night. We do a pretty good job of stopping the long bomb, but it's an EASY 10-15 yards a play.



With a lot of teams, the bend-not-break defense works because they'll make a drive killing mistake eventually, but not against a team with the talent and experience of UW. This could get ugly.

Well, we had a chance to go into the half down just 14...screwed to pooch on that one

Ugh...what a horrific game. Not sure I will keep watching.

This BYU team has been reading their press clippings. I am not seeing a focus like I saw against Wisconsin. Unless they get focused at half time the game is going to end up worse than I was imagining.

And once again we look timid out on the field.



Defense is letting Browning do whatever he wants. Offense is so jittery they can put together 2 successful plays in a row.



Hey...Mangum is making his passes. Now if we could just throw a pass longer than 10 yards.

Maybe Petersen will have mercy on us and play his 2nd stringers in the second half.



Honestly, this is something I got sick of with Bronco. Get a big win that surprises everyone and then wet the bed a game or two later. Very definition of being "exposed."



I'll tell you what, if we go 0-2 this week and next, that pretty much negates the Wisconsin upset.

Defense is so bad. No QB pressure because our DC doesn't believe in it. Secondary is a joke.

Offense has called a decent game, I'd prefer to run a little more because UW has shown weakness to it. But the players are just flat out. Ot getting it done. I'd sit Hifo the rest of the game for putting the ball on the floor.



Our defensive secondary is not very good. We miss Dayan out there, and Takitaki biting on way too many crosses.



The good news is (other than Tanner playing awesome) we couldn't play much worse, and we get the ball to start only down 3 TDs. UW is beatable. They played nearly perfect, and we played terrible. We have zero margin for error now, but there's still a chance.

They completed some balls downfield early but Washington has completely stopped our Jet sweep and other running plays so they no longer are allowing anything downfield. BYU's offensive line needs to start blocking for the run or BYU's total offense is going to grind to a halt.

This morning, I would have DREAMED of this passing efficiency for our offense.



But we are rushing for <2 yards per play. We have now become one-dimensional the other way. Our offensive and defensive lines will need to play the way they did vs Wisconsin, and running backs stepping up and running for sustainable yards, to get back in this game.

We are not a top 20 team.

The most frustrating thing about this game is that Washington (aided both by unfair officiating and our lack of effort) is making it look like a 4-0 Alabama is beating a 1-3 team.

That TD is on Butch. Corbin is on a spy and Butch left the TE to rush the QB. Easy throw to the TE for a TD.



Guys trying to do too much.



Our secondary just can't hang with top 25 teams. Not good.

Katoa and Tanner the only good things in this game.

Stop giving the ball to Canada. He isn't getting anything.
