BYU vs Virginia

BYU couldn't have started this game better, TD, interception, TD, TD. That TD drive by virgina was frustrating but if BYU keeps scoring it won't matter. And it looks like they are about to go in for TD #4 in a sec.

so 21-0 wasn't enough of a cushion for Tuiaki's defense. Is there a defense for this guy? I don't see one. There is no excuse for a 35 point quarter with no offensive turnovers.

Insane first half. Let me just start by saying we have got to have the best WR corps in the country right? Top 4 WRs are just awesome.



That being said. The defense...what...is...going...on!? I've never been a fan of Tuiaki's D just because it's boring to watch, but no one can deny that stopping homerun plays and forcing long drives has its advantages. Protecting a big lead should be exactly what his D is made for. Where's is that defense when we need it?!



Props to the offense for keeping us in this, but things could get real ugly in the second half.

I swear it looks like our defenders are purposefully avoiding contact and reaching out with limp noodle arms to try and tackle. It's REALLY bad.

A punt! A punt! We got a punt!

Funny how the commentator knows exactly what uva is going to run but our defense doesn’t.

That 4th down TD. I think everyone in the stadium and watching on TV knew it was going to #99. Not sure how nobody on D knew.

We got our 1 stop for the half now the offense has to score on every possession and have the ball last.

Tyler catches that pass and we are up. Sigh. He is a warrior though. No quit in him. Refs blow the PI on Nacua. More sigh.

So...only we can commit DPI now? Got it

True, but if they line up Algier behind Hall 4 times and run it down hill, we score that way too. Sometimes Roderick gets too cute.

Huge forced fumble and TA is SO GOOD! BYU is responding in the second half big time

We were up 21-0 in the first half and lost that half. Can we hold onto a 10 point lead? I sure hope so. I'm telling you guys, I did not think BYU could keep up with Virginia in a shoot out.

Regardless of the bad reffing, Tyler Algeier is a man among boys. Wow.

BYU just ended Armstrong's Season. Too bad. I feel bad for Bronco on that.

Armstrong is amazing in his scrambling. Never has someone looked so slow and yet so effective. And he is a gifted passer and leader. Tough loss for VA

If you told me VA would only score 7 in the second half after that second quarter, I’d said you were nuts. Team did something right to slow down VA.

I did NOT think BYU could compete with Virginia in a track meet. This was an impressive win. The defense got turnovers and forced a couple punts. After giving up 35 points with no offensive turnovers in the 3rd quarter I didn't think there was any way the defense was going to be able to keep Virginia from scoring at will in the second half. The meat of the schedule is over, we get Idaho State, a bye, Georgia Southern and a bad USC team to end the season. I think BYU is going to end the season with 10 wins. That is an impressive thing to do with this schedule. Imagine if we don't have the hiccup against Boise State.

Man, I'm so surprised how that second half went. D stepped up big time. TA a man among boys. This is a good team!



One more P5 team to go. Let's hope we stay healthy the next couple of weeks and finish strong!

Allgeier now is second in touchdowns in the NCAA but first in rushing touchdowns. He is third in both rushing yards and rushing yards per game. He has to be on the short list for running back All American. I feel bad about their qb Armstrong, he was leading the nation in passing yards and was a Heisman candidate. Allgeier should now be a candidate.
