4th Quarter Thoughts

1st Offensive Possession
Can't expect much on 3rd and long.  And we didn't get much.  Not a bad attempt, man coverage, getting Hoffman on a crossing route, but at some point, BYU needs to take a shot deep.
Much better punt coverage tonight, for sure.

1st Defensive Possession
The D continues to deliver solid pops, even this late, on a quick turnaround, getting demolished on time of possession.
Man, big time play on 3rd.  And lucky bounce...too bad it didn't go sideways and out of bounds, gained another 20 yards on it.  Not much chance for the BYU O unless they do something different.  Doman needs to earn his paycheck here.  I don't have much faith here.  I think BYU has to throw the ball deep on this possession.  Boise has NO RESPECT for BYU's ability to throw the ball down the field.

2nd Offensive Possession
D was playing for the pass there, backed off.  Young QB, this is bad...historically bad.
Good toughness by Taysom.  Cut upfield and went for the first down.  Nice.
Another penalty...yikes, BYU.
Man...open WRs twice.  Even Nelson could have made those throws.  Haha.  BYU just can't catch a break.  Stephenson had a HUGE punt called back for a review.  Coming back from the commercial, watch him shank or Boise block it...man, the pessimism is coming out in full force tonight.  Good old BYU football.
A lot of "bad luck" tonight.  BYU needs to get off their butts and MAKE some good luck.  Do something different, throw ONE deep pass to Hoffman 1-on-1.  Hit a TE on a post.  Anything.

2nd Defensive Possession
BYU D has been huge on 1st downs all night.  Problem is it sets up passing situations...lucked out with a dropped pass (and called offensive PI...).
And another great bounce on a punt.  I think you have to go with Riley.  This situation is too big for the frosh.  Backed up inside the 10, down 7, 4th quarter.
The BYU I know turns it over here and loses this game 14-0.  Is this BYU team better than that?  They haven't looked like it...

3rd Offensive Possession
FINALLY!  Take a shot deep and good things happen.  Looking more like a BYU offense.
Man, where has this been all night.  Excitement.  Mixing things up.  Pass, Option, QB Draw.  Biggest play of Taysom Hill's career for sure.  4th and 3.  Thursday night.  On the road.  ESPN broadcasting it nationally.  I'm curious to see what Doman draws up for the young buck.  I hope it's not a designed QB run.  I don't want to see a rollout either.  In the pocket pass, tuck it if you need to.  Tough call.  Doman's got to make it.  People will question him until the end of time if he gets it wrong.
Nice play by Hoffman on that catch.  That's balls.
Wow...why Bronco?  That's a bad call.
Go to OT...no timeouts...have to get a three and out and then kick a FG...three and out, well, maybe.  Drive and FG...nope.

3rd Defensive Possession
Too bad on the return.  Too bad on the play-action pass.  Too bad.  Bronco showed confidence, which is nice...but you can show confidence by letting him win in OT...the first down ended it.  I don't know why they aren't just taking a knee...

  1. wow - if I am Boise, I just run some clock and punt. No way BYU O can score on them. Can't let the D have a chance to.

    For BYU, this is pathetic. The defense has got to be so upset. I can't believe we have 5 TOs and are still down only 7-0. Good thing Boise has no FG kicker. If we could somehow get to OT, that might even give us an advantage.

  2. Dumb to go for two - OT and BSU has no kicker.
