I was hoping I'd miss Hall after this season.

At this point, I highly doubt I will. I hope I end up eating those words.

edit.....I will miss his blocking.

He is what he is and we live or die with him. I would like to see him finish at least one game this season without an interception but I don't think it's going to happen.

Does he win the MWC Offensive POY with his 50/50 ratio? I know he's up one or two now, but you get the idea.

Only because he's a senior.

I'm not sure what to think of Hall. He hits guys in the numbers and makes good decisions on nearly all of his passes, but has those 2 or 3 bad passes or poor decisions that usually result in INTs.

He has the 50/50 TD/INT ratio, but he also hits on 70% of his passes and has a very good 9.1 ypa. The team is averaging about 35 ppg under him and is 4-1 with a win over the number 8 team in the country, with the one loss on the defense rather than him. Ultimately, I guess I can't complain too much.

Oh and he will finish his career as the 2nd leading passer in BYU history, one of it's most efficient and possibly the winningest QB to ever suit up.

I'm going to miss him just because I don't see anyone in the pipeline that will come near to Hall's ability next year. Riley Nelson has no arm and Jake Heaps won't be ready. I think we're in for major rebuilding next year.

Get a JUCO.

Get a JUCO.

The Huskies seem to be happy with the last successful Juco QB we had.

Get a JUCO.

Bronco will get a butterfly tattoo before he goes for a starting JUCO QB.

I don't know anything about Nelson's arm, and they haven't exactly let him throw it the few times he's played, but I like what I've seen from him so far. He plays excited and he always seems pumped up. I like that. I think he's got a lot of drive.

Yup. BYU will lose 4-5 games next year. Personally, it will be a bit refreshing as the fanbase doesn't appreciate winning.

I could care less if Hall throws 2-3 ints in every game this year but Utah and TCU. If BYU wins the turnover battle, I think they will beat both. BYU's defense isn't great but it is good enough to keep those teams from scoring like they did last year. The offense, specifically the turnovers, will be the key. I think BYU could lose the TO battle and win every other game they play.

My edit is that I think knowing this is why I really expect Heaps to start. I think if Heaps starts next year and he is healthy in 2011, he is likely to be a better qb than Nelson will be in 2011 if Nelson is the starter next year. I think Mendenhall takes his lumps next year, especially if he wins another MWC title (i.e. beats TCU in Provo).

I'm not so sure about that.

I think Harvey Unga is the best offensive player in the conference. Hall actually had his highest Pass efficiency game today 175 which is very good. Both of those picks were bad, in fact the first one was horrible he eyed down the receiver the whole time and that safety just slowly drifted over, that is a highschool mistake. The second one was just a poor throw and decision. However you live with those mistakes when he makes throws like the deep ball on a rope to Ashworth for a TD and those corner routes to Pitta.

Defense played great tonight, Jan was phenomenal for those that dont pay that much attention to individual matchups go back and watch the game and pay attention to Jan, when he is lined up on the outside he is dominant. When he moves inside he is still very good but is double teamed more often. Overall though he was awesome including forcing a 3 and out by himself.

Completely agree about Jan. Just like the Tulane game, when he was lined up outside he was killing Tulane. For some reason, they changed the defense and moved him inside when Tulane was going to be throwing the rest of the game. Couldn't figure that out. Same thing tonight. I just don't get it.

Let me clarify my stance on Hall. I think he thinks his arm is stronger than it really is and he makes major mental mistakes because of that. He forces too much especially when pressured. Tonight, he had very little pressure and picked USU apart when he was smart. I like Hall, but he is what he is. A QB with average physical skills, huge balls, and better skill position players around him than just about any BYU QB has ever had. He should be dominate but he isn't most of the time. I like him, but he will not go down as one of my favorites. In fact, I'm looking forward to watching someone with upside next year when I know it is a rebuilding year.

Yep as soon as they moved Jan back inside the pressure on the QB stopped and USU started moving the ball again. Jan set up Denneys sack with a hurry flushing Borell out of the pocket as well. Jaime has to watch that on film and realize he needs to tweak his scheme.
