Check downs are always terribly placed and usually behind the receiver to where we get 0 or negative yards.
And they come after he has held the ball for 4 seconds and it's obvious where the ball is going. So he does the only thing he can, which is rifle a pass that either they cant catch or complete it to a back that is surrounded by defenders in the backfield.
I know I’m in the minority but I don’t believe in the “Butch’s players are crap” theory. I think it’s almost all subpar head coaching right now. With a sprinkle of very bad QB play.
The majority of the upperclassmen suck. QB play isn't covering up mediocre coaching either. It's the exact opposite of what happened with Dobbs and Butch. Pruitt gets fired, it will be due to JG's inability to play qb
Pruitt’s not going anywhere. We’re stuck with him unless he leaves on his own, dies, or is found to be doing something illegal.
Again, we hold them to 1 td in regulation and it was a short field due to a horrible, staring, late throw into quadruple coverage. We move the ball inside their 35 on 6 occsasions and get 1 fluke td on another dumbass play. GS was coaching malpractice. The staff didnt coach a bad game last night.
This is what Chaney does better than anyone, why can’t Jarred grasp that the play has changed? He can not compete a proper check down, there was a lot of lay up yards he missed. Those might have set up Chandler for a rushing first down or a Jennings pass.
And therein lies all the issues. I think the rest of the team played well yesterday, barring a catastrophic mistake by Taylor, but Guarantano cost the team a lot of points.
That's actually incredible to look at. The other 4 receivers have gaps you can get them the ball. Top of the screen is wide ass open. The check is wide open. Looks like that's Jennings that's open underneath that triple coverage. Bottom of the screen just made a move coming back on a hitch, it looks like, and is about to be open. Guarantano throws to the one receiver that's blanketed.
BYU had three drives that started inside the 25 and scored 20 points. They had ten drives that didn’t start inside the 25 and scored 9 points. With the exception of that late 4th play, our defense was good all night except they folded when faced with a short field.
