Lining up in the shotgun on 4th and 1/2 yard with Kj "fricking" Jefferson is a crime.

People shite on Briles for boneheaded calls but this is just as bad.

I mean to be fair that had to be last thing the defense thought we would do.....it certainly was the last thing I thought we would do.


Luckily for BYU there was plenty of time to figure it out though

Who does lining up offsides on a FG fall on?

The failed fake.

Same as last year, shootout ugly at times.

Try and wear them down in the 4th.

He was asked it during his press conference, been asked that 3 times and I’m on to the next question.

I took a couple of days to cool off before my rant.... so here it goes:

1. Why in the heck don't we have a quick huddle, hurry to the ball, QB sneak? 4th and a half yard and we go gun, motion, check with me for 30 seconds, and run a scat back who likes to dance in the hole.

2. I'm remembering everything I didn't like about Enos. His passing offense is really good, but he won't use it until desparation time and even then he completely ignores the obvious..... How many shot plays did we take all night? I'll be glad to be corrected, but the answer is less than 3 if I counted right.... you HAVE to take the top off the defense.

3. I don't care who it is, after a certain amount of holding calls on the same guy you HAVE to get him out of the game.

4. O-line..... this performance is squarely on their shoulders.... can't blame the backs this week. This group isn't as bad as advertised, they are worse.... clear now why Braun transferred from FLA... he's terrible.... yet good enough to start for us? wow

5. Sam does not have the killer instinct to win games like this... we had a 2 score lead multiple times in this game and either got conservative or hit the self destruct button. He is going to have to coach against his own tendencies or he will be out of a job.

6. Lost in all of this is that the defense still played pretty well. Well enough to win easily but the offense kept putting them in bad situations. Outside of the busted assignment on the trick play I can live with how they played. On the long touchdown run the DE crossed the face of the kickout block instead of taking in on and letting Pooh fill. If he does that right it's probably a 5 yard gain and we line up and go again.

7. This is not where we should be year 4 with a veteran QB. Clearly Enos was a bad hire and his offense is showing that it didn't age well at all.

I'm not saying we can't get it together and right the ship but geez this was a bad loss going into our tough stretch. After how we played in this one I'm having a hard time seeing 6 wins.

Sam has none. He has folksy "turn that juke box up" shite that a huge portion of our fanbase adores, and will retweet, and even buy t-shirts saying it.

He is always telling the players what good kids they are.

He never gets up in anybody's asses about anything. Have we ever seen it?

He came here to retire, and he's already mentally there.

Another season with Pittman is wasted time, which means we will probably give him another season.

Bad move to let him get another year.

Breaking in a new QB and losing quite a bit on defense.
