When was the last time the BYU offense tricked you?

Post by Stirfry »

Watching Oregon play and many other teams it's not uncommon for me to lose the ball. This never happens when I watch BYU. It seems like even a pump fake is rare from our QB's and selling out to fake a hand off or QB keeper just doesn't happen. You never lose the ball while observing BYU.


Finally figured out how to get the Rich Rod quote off my signature that randomly showed up! Sorry if you thought I stole it from you……..whoever it was that used to have it

The only time I lose the ball is when I'm watching the Pac network and the ball is not on camera because the amateur camera guy followed the wrong player.


I'm just a regular, everyday normal guy,
I can't afford a car, I use public transportation,
I don't mind, I read till I reach my destination,
sometimes a newspaper, sometimes a book,
the money I save, this stuff is off the hook,

I thought Taysom had a knack for fake handoffs that got my attention (and the attention of the defense) going in the wrong direction. His other skills were good enough that it was often overlooked as one of the things that made him great. But trick plays, not so many of those really these days.

Thats an interesting observation. I really can't remember. Lol it definitely doesn't happen often. I'll also admit that I was lost a few times watching Oregon tonight. The fact that arizona bit on nearly every single misdirection didn't help either.

Max Hall's wildcat play fooled me but the refs called a "deceiving" penalty. :skeptic:

That penalty still boggles my mind.

When they told me Brandon Doman's "Nitro" offense would be awesome.

Can't remember. However. The camera crews appear to be tricked all the time.

That one time that we didn't dive up the A gap on the first down of any drive.

I am also still shocked to see that BYU doesn't know how to perform a running back screen. And, to his credit, Doman did have one good play call with the shovel pass. That always fooled everyone. (Maybe because it went for positive yards?)

Hahaha! MWC camera crew as well. Of course, no one saw much of anything in those days. :roll:
