Utah State game thread

Grimes play call on 4th and 1 is a fireable offense. Mangum did a poor job, but it never should have been in his hands at that point.

BYU can't win a shootout against this team. 14-0 early is killer.

Tuiaki's defense on 4th and goal was just as egregious. We suck bad.

Defense is sleepwalking. Offense is pee wee league. I can't defend this team anymore.

Finally they aren't afraid to throw one a little farther down the field. USU's DBs aren't Washington or Wisconsin or Cal's.

Our offensive line is getting absolutely dominated in the run game.

Zayne Anderson didn't stay with his man. That one is totally his fault.

That's what happens when you don't challenge the defense vertically. They're stacking the box and daring us to beat them through the air. We won't do it.

They have to show they're willing to throw the ball farther than 5 yards a couple of times before USU's defense is going to worry about not stacking the box.

The defense played on great on that 4th down with the exception of 1 player. I for sure thought we were about to coverage sack their qb.



I haven’t been this angry while watching a game in a long long time. If the keep this up, the coaches don’t deserve to come back out of the tunnel after halftime.

This team is starting to look more and more like last years.

Or we need to block someone so their defensive line doesn't get 4 yards of penetration before our runner even gets the ball.

This all goes back to Grimes’s play call on 4th and 1. This is a game where you could not afford a start like that. All the rest of this so far just feels inevitable.

regression to the mean?

I'd take either at this point, but it sure seems like the defense is going to have to come through with a score or two to even make this a game.

By the way, in my opinion it was #11 Austin Lee that blew his assignment on that touchdown play.

Wow. I might leave this game.

Zayne Anderson with the facemask on a stop. Maybe he should have stayed out of the lineup today.

I hate the defense.

I hate the offense.

Our coaches suck, our offense sucks, our defense sucks. This a complete team meltdown. We suck bad.
