In Game for SMU game

We agreed on that…:rofl:

Agreeing with me is probably the best thing you’ve posted on this board. The smart move is to do that from now on.
:slight_smile:

Watch BYU Sports Nation 2024 Episode 180: BYU vs SMU Highlights and Notes - BYUtv

Look at the 28-minute mark…

What he said:

  1. Get RB healthy.
  2. Don’t hurt yourself with dumb decisions.
  3. It wasn’t take-aways, more turnovers.
  4. Retzlaff made decisions that should not have been made.
  5. Retzlaff needs to have more ball control.
  6. That he believes the issues is coachable and could make adjustments (yet, he never said ARod knows how to teach that stuff).
  7. That SMU was not that good, but BYU made some poor decisions (offensively).

Thank you Floyd

When I think you are right, I will always agree. I don’t disagree just to disagree. That’s a fallacy that others falsely accuse me of. :upside_down_face:

Collie wants to see Retzlaff run more as well.

Yes, everyone eise is off the mark. I’m saying something just to see if you will agree with it or not. I don’t believe it, it’s just a small test here.

The word I used was “other” and not “everyone.” Does that help? Nice try :rofl:

So if we want the QB to run more (instead of throwing garbage passes) put in the QB that is top 5 running QB

Coaches and some commentators keep try to put the round peg in a square hole. „If only he would do this. if only he would do that“
If the competition was so razor close in practice and it was all about the difference in TOs in practice why keep trying to improve the guy with clear deficiencies that will lose games and noput in the guy that is clearly better in games. There’s actual history of both them in games against very good teams.
Makes ZERO sense to me. These are the dumb, obvious decisions that get coaches fired.
Watch Retzlaff be pretty good against a woeful team and all the coaches will praise him and then plays reverts back when it counts
There goes any shot at a championship

You are making an assumption that Bohanan is the same QB as he was 4 years ago. If he was, don’t you think he would have won the starting job? Maybe he still has some issues with the shoulder. I’ll let the coaches coach and as a fan, support BYU. Aside from that, if Bohanan is healthy, time to give him some playing time.

I too read ARod talking about the “razor thin” margin. He was obviously lying to keep Bohanon in the program. If he were even remotely telling the truth we would have seen Gerry start the 3rd quarter after one of the worst QB 1st half performances in memory.

But your own reference, Matich says Retzlaff needs to stop trying to make the big play.

his running is Retzlaff trying to make the big play according to Matich.

Him running more isn’t for a big play. It’s to have more options to make the defense have to think about him running. Especially with LJ out. Honestly Floyd…

As you are so fond of saying “Go watch what Matich said on SN on Sept 9th”. Right around the 27-minute mark, Matich will explain what he means by the “big play” issue.

For Example:
1st fumble was caused because of a broken play (miscommunication between Davis and Retzlaff), instead of tucking the ball high and tight, which limits your movements (Matich’s words) he was slinging his arms out and it was stripped.

2nd fumble was caused because Retzlaff was trying to gain extra yards after contact.

Interception was caused because Retzlaff tried to throw while in the grasp of the defensive player and going down, he literally threw the ball directly to the SMU player.

One of the golden rules for QB’s is that when you are in the grasp of the defender, NEVER EVER throw the ball.

The other interception was that Retzlaff was trying to be Patrick Mahomes and do the side arm flick pass, news for Retzlaff, he is not in the same category as Mahomes.

Every Turnover in that game by Retzlaff was caused because of his poor decisions and trying to make a “big play.” as Matich would say. The most important point, none of the turnover were a QB run designed play.

We had Ropati, Nawahine (which he broke out for a big run towards the end of the game) and Davis.

Nothing you wrote had anything with what I said. You sound like Kamala Harris.

Everything I posted had to do with and I quote you here:

You just cannot counter the points I brought up, so you do the political “sidestep”, BTW, Trump looked weak and often off topic.

Outstanding analysis of each TO—not only how it happened but how to avoid it next time by following some SIMPLE guidelines that every middle and high school QB knows:

  1. If you are running carry it tucked away high and tight or with both hands.
  2. NEVER throw while in the grasp. NEVER EVER.
  3. Don’t throw it right to a 300 pound guy standing literally right in front of you.
