    Good thing it happened in Vegas. Anywhere else and he'd have to talk to his ecclesiastical leader(s) about that type of behavior.

            Not really. Both are pretty unlikable so it’s easy to ignore.

              A vast majority crowned Critchlow as the savior last week. What they didn't understand was that Ty simplified the gameplan and Critchlow didn't have to do much more than identify a primary receiver and heave the ball. It was much more vanilla than what Ty was asking Mangum to do. Unfortunately we saw what happens when you're QB doesn't have the experience to take on a defense that can throw a lot more at you than what UNLV did. Mangum was improving from week to week and had he not suffered the injury we beat FSU and we beat UMASS.

              It's rough to be a BYU fan at the moment.
              Sorry, just got time to be able to respond...

              I wonder if the mighty 0-11 Portland State Vikings, in last place in the mighty Big Sky Conference, and who by the way just got waxed 59-33 by the also-mighty Eastern Washington Eagles, watched game film and planned against a healthy Tanner Mangum with 2 years in the system? Because BYU was pretty much equally sucky in both games:

                I wonder if the mighty Portland State Vikings of the Big Sky Conference, who by the way just got waxed 42-20 by the also-mighty Northern Arizona Lumberjacks, watched game film and stacked the box against a healthy Tanner Mangum, daring him to beat them through the air?

                        Not that hard. Mangum's first game in a complex new system. Confusion reigns and our receivers were terrible. Not really uncommon for a new offense to start slow and it was the first game of the season. That's why they are generally referred to as a tune-up game. Also at that point Ty was relatively inexperienced and unfortunately didn't really get to install his system the previous year because of the presence of Taysom and Jamaal. We aren't helped by the fact that we are short of talent and depth. Injuries and a key suspension were already taking a toll from fall camp.

                        Fast forward to last Saturday. Second to last game of the season and we should be firing on all cylinders correct? Not really. Fourth string freshman QB fresh off the mission, numerous injuries, and very little offensive continuity because of said injuries. There has been some talent improvement as our guys have gained experience.

                        This game is easy: UMASS sold out to taking away the run while applying pressure to a very young and inexperienced QB. Critchlow wasn't long enough in the tooth to do anything about it regardless of what Ty did.

                          This seems about right to me. There were also several drops by the receivers that could have and should have been caught on Sat.
