"I'm a man! I'm about to go 0-4 in conference!" - BYU vs Oklahoma State

[All-American]

I remember thinking Friday night "Ta'ase is winning this game for us!"

Watching AFR now. Holy cow, Ta'ase had an enormous game. I hadn't noticed because his name never got called-- no targets as a receiver-- but his blocking on the run game was outstanding.

Box reactions from coaches are my Kardashians. I love it.

I didn't watch much Retzlaff last season. This season is really my first exposure to him. I realize that is ot a full picture. But isn't this like John Beck a bit? We waited for Beck to have a GREAT season and he finally did as a senior. Not perfect, but great.

Jake is having a similar season (in terms of impact). This guy is so much fun to watch. Yes, he's a "gunslinger", which has resulted in plenty of great plays this year (he has to have more big plays that INTs) that have extended this season. 7-0 could end up as 7-5, but I trust that Jake and the coaching staff are locked in. Fully Committed (thanks Bronco!).

John Beck came into his own when he slaughtered TCU and never looked back. He was a fun QB to watch play. I see similar growth in Retzlaff. He's not as consistently accurate in passing as Beck was, but he adds a lot with his athleticism.

Steve Young said something like the defense is giving the offense room to grow. They have made huge strides so far this year. Seems like the defense didn't give them much room for error last night, and the offense answered. Just stay healthy!

People are way too hard on Jake. He had two interceptions last night. The second one was basically a hail mary at the end of the first half. That one really doesn't even matter.

Offense had 4 possessions in the 2nd half last night. Here is the results:

TD
TD
FG
TD

He and the offense are better than he is given credit for.

I love Jake. He's not perfect and still growing, but he's a baller!

I was thinking it would be good to bring a Star of David to hold up in the stands. Perhaps an Israeli flag would be too political? What kind of rules does BYU have about such things?

There were several things said in this thread in the heat of the moment. Ha.

All is forgiven.

I will admit that my mental state was not in the right position to watch last night - I missed the first 1/2 and didn't know whether I could handle a 4Q loss lol .

GO COUGS!!!!! :

It's always nice when you win your clunker.

Clunker? OSU is a good team and we fought back to win, despite not having our best performance on D.

This isn't UNLV (in prior years)!

[Jeff Lebowski]

Get off the bandwagon. This is disqualifying.

(jk LC, you are a loveable )

I don't think BYU has ever beaten Okie State in football. The losses in '74, '76, and last year were all painful. No mas!

This is correct.

Same. I watched this game well after the fact, and I had heard things from others leading me to believe the ending was either really good or really bad.

Very pleased with the ending.

Good thing you didn't turn it off in disgust when the "really bad" did happen with a little over a minute to go in the game.

I was at the Luke Staley game in 01. Probably recency bias but last night seemed a bit better. I was asleep on my couch in nyc for the Boise state win. I do NOT miss being on the east coast for these night games.
