BYU Football 2012

I'm alright with the 2-point conversion try. I can see arguments both ways. What I didn't like was the play call on the conversion. But I wasn't happy with the play-calling all game.

I'm fine with Riley at QB but they use him in the wrong way. He should have like 10-15 pass attempts per game and they should all be play-action. But he can't even do that now. The last two games are just the type of games he would pull out in the end last year. But he has regressed. I mean really what does he do well at this point? Lead? Whatever. Put him back on special teams. Give the reigns to Hill who clearly showed a good arm last night and obviously runs like a beast. Would've loved to see a draw called on that last play.

The thing is that if Hill converts that 2-pointer he is QB for life. So that sucks. But love what I saw from him. Too bad it will take some more beatdowns before BYU sees the light there.

Defense is just outright amazing right now and they can win games on their own if the offense would let them.

Just play like Utah. Run the ball. Mix in some play-action. Throw deep a few times to Hoffman to keep them honest. Punt and play field position.

Doman is calling plays like he's got Ty Detmer back there or something. To by honest, if he had Hayes back there BYU wrecks BSU last night.
 
I think Utah uses Hays a lot smarter to his abilities than BYU uses Nelson to his abilities. It's incredibly easy for a good defense to shut down Riley. His decision making skills go down the drain if he gets a little pressure. Rileys game play allows him to destroy lesser teams, but he will never beat a team with an above average defense.

Gutsy or not it was extremely stupid. They had Boise on the ropes. They had no timeouts if they missed they essentially handed the game to an opponent they had on the ropes. After making that call, if I was a BYU fan, I would be calling for Bronco's job.

I disagree that Boise State was on the ropes. Yes, BYU would have had the momentum going into OT, but having one good the drive the entire game doesn't put the other team on the ropes.
 
BYU has one of the top defenses in the nation. I can't recall a BYU defense that was even close to as good as this defense.

Sadly, BYU has one of the worst offenses in Div I.

If they just had decent offense that didn't screw up all the time, they could be BCS busters.

How many offensive TD's had Boise scored? Boise also had a kicker they had no faith in. I think they absolutey had that team on the ropes and that BYU had a huge advantage going to over time.

Boise State couldn't score when they got the ball on the 1 yard line. As bad as BYU's offense was, BSU's matched them in ineptness. Bronco blew it by going for two, plain and simple. Maybe if they had some timeouts, I would understand it but with no timeouts, I didn't see the logic. If nothing else, it would have been entertaining watching them miss field goals all night as OT dragged on in perpetuity.
 
byu wins in OT unless Boise is smart enough to start running the wildcat with the chubby defender who ran the INT back for a touchdown.

I don't like Johnson but he seems to play within his means at least. I also think Whit has more say with the offense than Bronco.
 
Neither offense was going anywhere really but BSU's sucked less. I think that's what Bronco was going off of. I'm fine with the call but I think BYU had attacked the perimeter so much that a run or draw up the middle would've worked. Heck, they flowed so quickly on that rollout that Hill could've cut back and walked in.

And who's responsible for that?

Nothing is preventing Bronco from having more say in his offense. Is he the head coach or not?

This isn't Skyline HS. Stop running the damn option and get the damn ball to your weapons.

Throw some quick slants, quick hitches, quick outs to these guys. Get them involved damn it.

Crowton looks like Mike McCarthy or Sean Payton compared to Doman.

If Doman were Hawaiian who merely played Oline (Anae) or an African American without a past at BYU (Hill) instead of white, Mormon, local, former QB, would he be getting such a free pass?

A. What did Doman do to deserve his OC position? Was he calling plays before?
B. What has he done to not be fired? His offense has sucked royally for 2 years. It isn't getting better folks. IF everyone thinks this is all on Nelson and Hill will do everything that Heaps and Nelson couldn't do, then I have real estate in Florida to sell you.

Again, when you're running the option 10x more than passing to your big boys, Hoffman, Apo, and Friel, you have major problems. It's like Aaron Rogers running the option to Benson rather than getting the ball to Finley, Nelson, Cobb, Jones, and Jennings.
