1) Max Hall makes too many rookie mistakes. He makes poor judgements on many of his passes and it will come back to bite him as the season goes on. His wind up to throw the ball makes him susceptible to Defensive ends stripping the ball, as in the last two games, which brings me to point #2.

2) The offensive line is too big and slow. Yes it’s impressive that they are large and experienced, but they are just too slow to compete with an athletic defensive end. I played tackle and guard and I would get reamed by my coach if I let players in the way they do.

3) Penalties! Two weeks in a row of penalties screwing up key drives, destroying momentum, and losing the game. I agree with Blake that my team would be running until they puked, I don’t care if they are coddled scholarship athletes, penalties, like personal fouls and false starts, show a lack of discipline. It looks like a Gary Crowton coached team out there.

As for speed, I agree a bunch of white secondary kids are going to be slower than a majority of the quality receivers, but that is no excuse. There are ways to level the speed advantage of a wide out, BYU hasn’t figured out how for years though.

Although I agree with the point that Bronco needs to have some more discipline with his team, that is not why the Cougars lost.

They lost because they have no speed in the secondary. Until BYU can get someone back there who can run, they will be vulnerable to teams like Tulsa with great speed at WR.

Funny how 1 week can change the attitude in the state about the direction of the two top programs.
