And the controversy lives on

[rblack]

Riley Nelson plays good enough for controversy, not good enough for win.

[Schmoe]

Yeah, Riley Nelson was a big factor in the loss

[rblack]

I'm just saying, there will be those who point out the 3 interceptions and loss as failure and those that point out the 24 points by the offense as success.

[Jarhead]

I guarantee you that the offense did as well as the coaches hoped in determining how they expected to pull out a win in this game. This is 100% on the defense. If you're BYU, 20 points had to be the max threshold that they didn't want OSU to cross. Are you really going to blame the Apo pick on Riley? Remember how the offense converted 3 times on 4th down to make it 14-14?

[rblack]

I saw alot of positive and a little negative with the offense.
Positives:
Time of possession.
Yards against a good defense.
Riley is healthy.
Williams is making good decisions.
Negative
Dropped passes.
Riley is not going to stay healthy.
Bad decision making under pressure.

Are you really going to blame the Apo pick on Riley?

yes, yes i am. how come every time he throws that one to apo its either over his head or apo has to go to the ground to catch it? what happened to hitting a guy in the numbers?

Yep, those three bad throws to Apo really cost us the game...

Yep. If Apo gets the pass in the numbers then it is a good gain. Apo having to dive caused him to flip it up to the defender.

Still I think the offense could have won this game if we could have defended the pass better.

quarterback didn't cost us the game but didn't play well enough to win either.

Yep, 24 points and 386 total yards is not good enough to win vs. a top ten team. We'd have needed the return of Steve Young to win this one.
