2022 BYU Football season

[Bo Diddley]

although on that long TD run vs baylor (wasn't baylor post ASU?) he looked as fast as he's ever looked. maybe it's an acceleration issue or a quickness issue? i don't know but i do agree he hasn't looked as fast or explosive.

It reminds me of after Taysom Hill got hurt. But I feel like his speed eventually came back. That could be simply holding back while the body continues to fully heal. And sometimes it's simply a function of watching the run from a deceptive angle.

I agree with this., but I think it's been like that ever since the ASU injury. He is slower this year, for sure. Not sure if that is injury related or if he just hasn't opened the full throttle yet, but he is definitely not getting the corner like he did pre ASU.

Yip. He's played very well.

The one area where he doesn't seem as good as last season to me - his foot speed. Maybe they've just been playing against faster teams, but he hasn't seemed as fast to me as he did last season.

I'm seeing the lack of it when he's eluding defenders.

Gunner is playing on Thursday.

That could be right. But I'd rather have him pass than run, either way.

Based on precedent, only one of the first four names mentioned will play on Saturday, and either Puka or Malik is dead.

Pretty much.

Hall looked good Saturday, that had to move him up the draft day charts.

There wasn't another BYU fan present to confirm this when it happened--the BYU fans I arrived with had long since eaten and then run off to their special place to seek comfort in the face of an ugly game--but the three or four Duck fans nearest me in the Oregon box from which I suffered through that beatdown were all VERY impressed with some of Jaren's throws in the 2nd half. After one dime from the far hash, two of these guys turned around to look at with raised eyebrows as if to say "glad we got out to a lead early in this one, because this kid can sling". One of them even said "we might be title contenders with that kid at QB."

Hey I got into a verbal altercation with a drunk UO frat boy. Do you think I was going to risk my life and walk that concourse a 2nd time?

As for the compliment. I believe at last 2/4 adult male Duck fans in the suite played D1 college football. So they know what they're talking about.

I agree. No way the Irish would ever under achieve playing a less talented team.

[Art Vandelay]

Notre Dame has talent and they'll use it to their advantage just like every other team we play with superior talent. They'll control the line of scrimmage and grind it out. I have zero confidence in BYU winning that game.
