Idaho State game thread

Wilcox already making an impact getting the ball tipped up for a pick 6. Overall, they aren't starting off at 100 mph, but hopefully getting things going.

Penalties continue to kill the offense. That makes 4 punts in a row? Come on....

At least one penalty on each offensive possession all 1st quarter--5 times in a row. 2 minutes remaining in the 1st quarter.

Idaho State defense peacocking all over the BYU offense in this first quarter.

Not impressed with Zach’s decision-making so far. I knew he might not be physically 100% yet, but was hoping after a few games off to think about it that he would at least look smarter out there.

Yep, 2 more false start penalties on the O-line to start the 2nd. 6 penalties already between false start and holding calls on offense.

Today's game is confirming my opinion that both Jaden Hall and Baylor Romney are better QB's than Zach Wilson. IMO if Baylor Romney were the QB right now, we would have at least 1 if not 2 more TD's on the board. Wilson holds onto the ball too long and doesn't go through his reads.

I like all 3 but I still think Zack is the better of the 3. Jaden is fun to watch because of how athletic he is and Romney definitely gets the ball out fast. But Zack has the most talent and that why the coaches go with him. His timing to start the game was off but it's been getting better as the game goes on. We don't see what happens during the week, we are comparing QBs that haven't played the same competition. Zack is throwing darts in the 2nd quarter.

Has Jake the Make lost the nickname now? That should have been an easy FG to finish the half.

The game is well in hand, but I hate seeing things like that big run by Rango for Idaho State for a TD. He is a freshman and that was his biggest run of the season. Sitaki was rightfully pissed. Guys already starting to just go through the motions?

They just showed a shot of the crowd--pretty good for your FCS game. If you hear the number please let us know.

Baylor gets rid of the ball more quickly and usually with the right read. Zach not so much. He holds on much longer.

ISU is overmatched. But we seem somewhat uninspired on O.

Standing behind your line and waiting for someone to get open is not the way a QB should play. I don't care about "talent" I want the guy who reads the defense and gets the ball to the right guy at the right time and Balor is that guy. I will root for Wilson if he starts the rest of the season but I feel our best chance to beat SDSU is with Baylor behind center. Wilson, even though he has improve a bit in this game is still not reading the defense very well.

No Katoa and Hifo?

We will miss Simon. A lot.

Haha. Announcers must be reading Cougar Corner. Both have injuries.

Our penalties have neglected about 120 yards in offense

Dang but Critchlow looks better than Zach

WR Keanu Hill was exciting in his reps. McChesney seems like another guy who could help at RB.
