EM_PumaThe backups made the 2nd half a bit loathsome only scoring one TD and and giving up 24 points.

nuk13Wow! McChesney had 228 yards rushing. That 6th highest in BYU history and highest ever by a freshman. Where has he been? The report on the BYU sight says his average was 15.2/carry.

What was incredible was that he wasn't the featured back.

He returned in June from a mission so is still working on his conditioning and is using a redshirt this year. But he should certainly factor into the RB equation next season as a redshirt freshman.

EM_PumaYou have to admit that BYU has luckily had their worse injuries in the 2 areas that were apparently their deepest positions--QB and RB. Now I don't put all the RB's at the same grade as Ty'Son, but it's been very good.
It was good again to see Zach get back in the grove and get a good tune up before the game next week with San Diego.

SharperSummary for those who couldn't watch the game:
First drive was nothing. After that, Wilson was decent (only because of the lousy defense not making him do much), and pretty much everything on the offense was working (Allgeier and Katoa ran consistently, Shumway, Katoa, and others had some good receptions), 7 straight touchdown drives. Would've been 8 had Kalani not decided to forgo their time outs at the end of the half and let the clock run out on an "easy" field goal.
Speaking of that field goal, Oldroyd clanked it off the right upright. As a former college and semi-pro soccer player and coach, my poorly-informed analysis is that (either the holds suck, or else) Oldroyd doesn't understand how to lay off the power to achieve more reliable accuracy. That means he has a chance to make long-distance kicks, but he's hitting shorter kicks the same way when he doesn't need the extra power, turning them inconsistent. Just my two-cents.
First half, defense demolished their offense, as they should have. I actually felt bad for their injuries on offense and my wife began rooting for them to at least score once to retain a little pride.
Second half, if any normal starters played, it was mostly in positions where they weren't the starter before. Guys you never heard of before showed up. Critchlow was 4/7 and while he had a couple of good throws, wasn't that impressive and to be fair, didn't get called on to throw much. Nice for him to get some back after that disaster in Provo which I paid good money to watch in person a couple of years ago. He's after Romney and Hall in the depth chart for a reason, though. It appears they didn't play only because the coaches want them to get as much recovery time as possible to heal up.
So second half, offense could've scored more, but part of that is the switch to just running clock on most plays. The backup defense let down a little in the secondary and in the pass rush.
Ghanwoloku is a beast, knocking balls out and recovering others, but we knew that already. Nwigwe on the D-line snagged an interception; it was that kind of game.
The starters and backups on the offensive line ran all over their defense and the receivers destroyed them blocking downfield. As others have noted, McChesney had several long runs and looked good in the process. Glad to see some future talent for next year and to help fill in for injuries in the last two games.
All in all, a better "destroyed them" expected outcome than last week was. Nothing to get too excited about (it was a now 1-11 UMass team, after all), but the team managed to come out and play as expected for at least the first half, which isn't to be taken for granted after some of the earlier games in the year. All the redshirts and backups got better-than-practice reps in the second half, so there's that.
