Agreed. Would rather have Holiday than "pillows and feathers".Gunk wrote:I do think Taysom does better at a more uptempo pace. He's a fast paced, rythem kind of guy. I'd sprinkle in some more 2 min drill type scenarios if I'm Detmer. I don't believe in go fast go hard all the time, but when used strategically uptempo can be very effective.
Our receivers are soft. Holiday should not have been let go.

Was he let go or did we just get outbid? I realize it can be both but did we not bid a market rate of did they overpay?BroncoBot wrote:Agreed.

Re: Questions and observations
Television coverage showed a ton of Ute fans there, but I guess I missed the ticketgate controversy? Someone please fill me in here. Did the U sell BYU's allotment of tickets? If that's the case, then instead of sell the U's allotment next year, why don't we just limit their allotment to something near zero for next year's game? Or is BYU obligated to let the opposing team buy a minimum number?KingCoug wrote:

Re: Questions and observations
Some of the reasons for success in the two minute drill, are situational. That is, the opposing defense is in a prevent mode, trying to cover a deep field until the clock runs out. Then the short slants, sideline posts, and screens become easier to complete.
Still, I also noticed a more crisp execution in the short drill moments.
Detmer's game plan was good. He needed to keep it simple until this team gets more live game experience. He will advance the playbook when the team is ready for it.
On another subject, I want to know if the targeting calls are being appealed. Without going into details again, I think it is wrong for those two DB's to have to miss the next half game.

Re: Questions and observations
I think once the pac12 review booth reviewed it it was a done deal. We lose them for half of our next pac12 game as well.BOID wrote:On another subject, I want to know if the targeting calls are being appealed.

Re: Questions and observations
That is my understanding too. The call on the field was wrong, but those things happen so suddenly that the error and the egregiousness of it all rests with the Punk12 review squad who should have had the time and film to see how wrong the ejection was.
