I didn't like the first quarter called by Doman. So vanilla. So predictable (other than the going for it on 4th down twice). Major complaint though: 4th and 2 and they hand off to a guy with less than 10 career carries. The offense needs to do SOMETHING out of the ordinary in the 2nd quarter. Utah State knows BYU too well to allow this type of play-calling to work.
The defense played great. USU's scoring drive was aided by a few huge missed holding penalties, including on the 4th down conversion. They stood inside the 10. They prevented the big play. I thought the DL owned the OL. They collapsed the pocket well, though they aren't quite making Keeton panic yet.
I thought BYU would start even slower than this, so I'll take a 3-0 deficit. Utah State O's is going to have difficulty scoring on BYU's D. But if BYU keeps this up on O, they will have those same struggles. Still feel like BYU can get this done if they take a few risks or do something out of the ordinary...
