Re: A WVU tweeter's comments

MHVer3 has been close on some news, but far off on others. I do think he's connected, but considering his sources are at West Virginia, I don't think they are as solid as he thinks. I do think it would be more likely for BYU to be a football only invite rather than a full member. If it happens, eve...

Re: BYU's Offense

I think it's been the same at BYU--the offense and defense are built to be co-dependent. Anae's offense is meant to get up early, and the defense is meant to bend-don't-break to preserve that lead and put the onus on the other offense to create big plays, which Bronco's D is meant to prevent. But w...

Re: BYU vs Boise game thread

#1 ranked Gopher hockey is up 3-1 on Bemidji at 6:00 in the second period. Goldy's playing well again this year.

Re: Rumors abound

I don't know that buried on the depth chart of an NFL roster is a great place to develop and improve as a player. That is what college is for. I'd be surprised if this is the route he chooses. I'm downgrading that from shocked because he has had his college year ended twice in three years by injury...

Re: I hate it when I hear these words "Career night.."

I've always called it BYU's "Heisman Defense"--i.e., the play of the defense turns the opposing QB (or best player) into an overnight Heisman candidate. At the latter end of my days at BYU, I recall BYU implementing the Heisman Defense against the likes of Marques Tuiasosopo, Bradlee Van P...

Re: Game Day at LES and attendance...

As has been mentioned, BYU is not the only school with this problem. Seen at the U of Michigan student union: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ByLONIZIQAI_n_I.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ByK1eXeIIAEJjOc.jpg Michigan is now claiming the promotion was a miscommunication: http://www.washingtonpost.com/b...

Re: Commentators are as stupid as refs

I actually thought the commentators were pretty good today, Matt Millen especially. He was absolutely spot-on with his observation of lack of speed in both receiving corps today. Even Cougar fans have to admit Blackmon has not been as fast as the hype. Besides, Matt Millen knows his receivers--he's...

Re: BYU vs UVA game thread

Looked like a bad read on the 3rd down play. Looked like he should have kept it.

Here's a similar article from a few years back by now Grantland columnist Chris B. Brown (who provides excellent tactical analyses):
