BYU had to accomplish 7 things today to lose to arguably a lowly Missouri team. Failing to accomplish any one of these likely would have led to a win.
- QB forgets how to throw the football much of the game.
- Receivers forget how to catch the ball - some likely to #1
- Is run blocking allowed for BYU lineman? Particularly since Anae loves “up the middle”.
- Defense forgets that center screens are actually a permitted play - over and over.
- Lots of correctly called penalites that hurt.
- Lots of penalties not called that hurt just as much.
- A nice sprinkling of extremely stupid penalities that sealed the deal. You gotta love 31 - how many times has he done this now this year. Really!
As stated, that was not a good team that BYU lost to today, but at least Bronco can be proud of one thing. It was a team effort.
