Tanner still sucks. Hooray his completion percentage was finally over 60%. He still can't throw the ball over 15 yards well.

Taking Seattle to Pound Town - BYU vs. Washington

I really liked the shuffle pass wrinkle to the rollout.
I was fine with running the ball at the end of the half (not fine with the fumble). They were close to their own 10-yard line for that play and taking a knee would have put the punter in the endzone on the next down.
The offensive line provided little to no push for the running game. Losing Squally didn't help.
On the penultimate play of Washington's second scoring drive, I was upset that the official missed a blatant block in the back that resulted in Shelton on the turf and a 20+ yard gain for Washington.
Washington's O-line was blowing up the D-line all game.
No pressure on Browning is not a recipe for success.
Tanner was not the reason BYU lost this game.
Didn't expect this at the beginning of the season, but felt like we really missed Zayne Anderson - especially on those multiple completions in which the WA receivers were just sitting in the open spots of the zone. Felt like he could have done a better job contesting those and maybe even picks one off.
I am not terribly upset about this loss since I was expecting a tough matchup. After the win over Wisconsin, there was no way to catch Washington off guard. And they had a lot more film to study of the new offense than previous opponents had. And they just have more talent across the board. Just wasn't our night.
Still, 3-2 is about as good as any of us could have reasonably expected at the beginning of the season. Let's hope guys get healthy and they can get a win on the short week coming up."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

Our high school once had a coach who won multiple state championships for us. One of his favorite sayings was "Big games are won or lost with special teams, and great seasons are created on the line." I don't know about the special teams part, but his focus on the line was a winner for him. This season for BYU, the team who controlled the line of scrimmage won, and that team was Washington last night. Obviously, there's more to last night than that, but we can't win if we don't control the line of scrimmage.sigpic

Looks like the team is trying to leave Seattle on an upbeat:

Originally posted by smokymountainrain View Postand you can't control the line of scrimmage if you don't have numbers. when a team stacks the box, it doesn't matter how well the fat guys play, as long as the defense isn't physically overmatched, they will stop the run. that's when you have to hurt the defense over the top - and every team on the upcoming schedule should know that probably isn't going to happen."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

Originally posted by smokymountainrain View Postthey don't have to, but they did. and whether you have to or not, why wouldn't you? that's why going forward - maybe Boise doesn't have to - but they certainly should. no reason to play with fire. Wisconsin thought they didn't have to and got burned."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"
