Re: Official BYU game Thread

Happy we play South Dakota next week. Good luck to BYU this year.

South Dakota will be an easier opponent than this week, sure.
But they're no slouch.
We can't overlook them.

The Cougarboard said Hall's knee was down on the play.

Re: Official BYU game Thread

One I haven't seen yet: Aren't you down in college football when you have possession and your knee is on the ground. Shouldn't Hall have been called down and the pitch to Unga for the TD not count? Could have scored on the next play, but it sure looked like Hall was down.

I thought about that too.

Re: Official BYU game Thread

Guys on cougarboard seem to agree that Hall's knee was down before the pitch.

Re: Official BYU game Thread

BYU hasn't lost 4 fumbles in 4 years, never in this coaches tenure. That is more breaks than an opponent will ever receive.

Some of those fumbles were caused by our defense.
So yeah, we received some breaks, but we CAUSED some of them, instead of them being given.

Ever is a long time. No guarantees, ever.

Re: Official BYU game Thread

Ok first off... let's leave the dumb complaining about the refs and helmet to helmet bull crap out please (I mean let's not forget that your DB headhunted on our WR after the ball was clearly out of the play, but I'm not gonna dwell on that here like some fans have because that's football.. it's gonna happen). I think BYU had the most penalties in this game if im not mistaken. I haven't really looked at the numbers but so what? Those are words of a sore loser, and I don't think that most people on this board are sore losers... or at least shouldn't be based on posts from the last week plus.

That being said... good game for you guys. Ball security was the obvious achilles heal for BYU in this one (I don't really understand what BYU was thinking giving their backup RBs carries when the game was still not really decided IMO, and passing the ball out of your own endzone?? Pretty upset with what BYU coaches did for some of this game, they've got some improving to do still themselves IMO). Two fumbles at the worst time in the worst places... it was the difference between a complete blowout and a more exciting game in the 2nd half.

I think it's just what BYU needed to be ready for their season. It's actually a pretty good thing that UNI put up a fight when alot of other teams would have folded (fumbles aside) because it just goes to show.. you don't quit playing for any reason no matter what... even if you're up by 3 touchdowns! Good lesson for BYU there.

For me the game was never really in question.. not disrespecting UNI, but it was evident that UNI's D couldn't really stop BYU's O. Even with those fumbles... they just couldn't be stopped. I expected that... what I didn't expect is how well your QB did. You guys give a lot of props to Lewis and Gray, but I got to be honest.. those guys were pretty nonexistent, and maybe that's due to BYU shutting them down. Your QB will be a good one though... patient and tough come to mind (someone get that guy some ice! )

You got a good team on your hands and should do well.. good luck the rest of your season.

I just saw on the ticker that they were beating up someone pretty bad 42-0 in the third quarter.

Forcing fumbles is not breaks, it is good football. Bad calls by officials that go for you is breaks, but there were not enough bad calls in this game that we should complain. When you are an FCS school playing on the road against an FBS school you have to know going in you are not going to get the calls.

Halls knee was long down before he pitched the ball, he was within inches of having his entire leg laying on the ground.

Farley just said on the post game show that our headsets were were down for the whole game. I bet that helped us alot...

I would have to think your D focused on shutting them down, opening the door for our RS Freshman Josh Collins to make some big players.

clearly out of the play? please!
the ball was within his reach, and if our DB hadn't hit him (looked like a clean hit to me. he led with his shoulder), the WR still had a chance to catch it.

I wouldn't have complained too much about the hit(s) on Grace, IF they hadn't called the 15-yard penalty on our DB for something that was no worse than the hit on our QB.

yeah, well.... that is against St. Ambrose, an NAIA team. But yes, they are a decent team and we sure don't need a repeat of our North Dakota foul-up

No doubt. I'm sure BYU's headsets worked just fine......

And the phone line used by Rima & crew kept cutting out.
For a supposedly "big time" FBS program/facility, BYU has some sh#tty equipment.
