LIVE! BYU Game thread. Official.

[Hank]

The clock didn't matter. Some of you want to blame it on clock management because you get off on it

Tell ‘em, brother.

 

[1991 Orange Bowl]

I still think it’s far less of an issue than the fact a TO wasn’t taken right after

Both things can be true.

 

[Hallett Hell]

Steven Montez without the arm.

 

[Da Lama]

I’ve seen enough of him. He’s not gonna get better time to start playing Staub with some JuJu mixed in.

Juju. Staub never should’ve gotten a shot.

 

[cdubBuff]

Same ole buff ****

 

[Bread]

Salter was ass for 3 quarters outside of one drive. Took 2 terrible sacks, a terrible throw to Miller on a key 3rd down, slid on the 2nd to last game, then threw an INT.

He had one good week against a **** team. He's a bad QB.

If it’s so easy to lead FBS in touchdowns, why don’t you go do it

 

[Medford M.]

BYU's freshman QB was much more poised and decisive than our senior.

They played to his strengths for four quarters.

We do that for one or two drives a game

 

[Duff Man]

I still think it’s far less of an issue than the fact a TO wasn’t taken right after

Both are major issues. Every yard matters in that situation because getting first downs quickly matters. He inexplicably slid really early.

 

[Pilotbuff]

I said about 5 pages ago, Salter is the kind of QB that late in a game will slide instead of fighting for yardage. Even my wife said he doesn’t run hard, he plays not to get hurt, that’s how obvious it is. Prime’s luggage looks more like a wet paper bag at this stage. Let’s see if the media has the stones to question some of his moves or are they still too scared?

 

[ZKobalt]

Nothing will change unless Deion get rid of his guys and actually hire a competent staff

 

[Bread]

The armchair QBs in this thread are ****ing hilarious. Acting like BYU doesn’t have a legitimate ****ing defense.

 

[Corey Trevorson]

If it’s so easy to lead FBS in touchdowns, why don’t you go do it

This is a terrible rebuttal

 

[patebuff]

BYU's freshman QB was much more poised and decisive than our senior.

He was a senior Sefo. He’s gonna be a stud

 

[krom]

JUJU TIME.

With Shurmur calling plays, why would this matter?

 

[Da Lama]

We were in the game till the end. Honestly I don’t think we’re even in the position to win without Salter. A bunch of you calling for Juju are just accepting a lost season. This is a week. To. Week. Conference. We can win each and every week it just takes couple balls bouncing our way. I’m not upset about this loss. We showed grit and we are a better football team than we were 2 weeks ago.

TCU will beat us by 20+. Hoover is going to SHRED our DBs. Shred.

 

[IowaBuffs]

Someone else needs to handle the clock management at the end of the first and second half. Its glaringly obvious after 3 years that Prime doesn't know when to call timeouts. This team looks lost running a 2 minute offense.

Enough of Shurmer. Let Leftwich call the offense. And I'm about done with Salter. If we're going to struggle, I'd rather be struggling with a true freshman QB getting valuable playing time.

 

[Da Lama]

Can we talk about the first 3-4 drives play calling and then the rest of the game? Two weeks in a row. So weird

Good coaches adjust.

 

[Corey Trevorson]

The armchair QBs in this thread are ****ing hilarious. Acting like BYU doesn’t have a legitimate ****ing defense.

I know it's hard to expect a 5th year senior QB to hit open guys, not run 20 yards backwards, slide at the end of the game in front of the sticks, among others

 

[Gramburglar]

The clock didn't matter. Some of you want to blame it on clock management because you get off on it

TO should have been called at 2:40 going into to 3rd down. However that still doesn’t matter, Salter is glass, one crack and he shatters.

 

[Bread]

This is a terrible rebuttal

I honestly don’t give a ****. He accomplished that because he can play well. If you’re acting like he doesn’t know how to play the position well in college, which you are, you’re ****ing stupid.

 

[BUFFset]

Would you like a popsicle? So weird how happy you are to say you were “right” about something negative for this team. For every time you called something out you were wrong about 3 other things. Odd behavior.

Dude grow up. Juju isn’t ready yet and this game isn’t close with him under center atp

Bachmeier was. I don’t think he was a 4/5*, you have to let the kids play. Salter is a terrible leader, has low football IQ, poor instinct, charmin soft and that trickles down. Play calling isn’t helping him, but man, he makes the worst decisions every time the pressure is on. This game was close because of Drelon.

 

[Medford M.]

Good coaches adjust.

The problem wasn’t even necessarily that they adjusted.

We literally just stopped doing what worked.

We didn’t force them to adjust, we adjusted for them

 

[Robert Sorell]

Both are major issues. Every yard matters in that situation because getting first downs quickly matters. He inexplicably slid really early.

He slid early a lot tonight, that time was easily the worst.

I'm fine with making a business decision a lot of the time, but he left at least 20-30 yards out there between about 5 early slides.

I can't imagine that at least some of his teammates aren't pissed about it too.

 

[1991 Orange Bowl]

BYU played a better game, had a better plan, were the better coached team… but (and I feel like I’m repeating what I said after GT) we clearly had the most talent on the field. That’s what’s so frustrating.

 

[Boulder]

The coaching staff needs someone within an an aptitude for analytics and clock management. There are other issues but having a voice that can handle the more technical side of the game is needed. Loyalty to coaches is going to torpedo this season.

 

[BuffUp]

we might win 2 more games

this **** gets old.

 

[Corey Trevorson]

I honestly don’t give a ****. He accomplished that because he can play well. If you’re acting like he doesn’t know how to play the position well in college, which you are, you’re ****ing stupid.

Newsflash, he isn't playing the position well at this level

 

[Duff Man]

I'm fine with making a business decision a lot of the time, but he left at least 20-30 yards out there between about 5 early slides.

If you run as a QB more than 10 times a game, taking some hits is a byproduct.

 

[Bread]

TCU will beat us by 20+. Hoover is going to SHRED our DBs. Shred.

Again, congrats on your crystal ball for CU to lose. ****ing weird

Yeah. Wasn’t bitching at the time because he was picking up chunks but his sliding all night was pretty ridiculous.
