False, I am looking at the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters. Once they adjusted we didn't counter back with a response adjustment. We won on over arching skill, and nothing more. We won because Taysom Hill was the best player on that field, and nothing short of a broken leg was going to stop him from winning. It had little to do with Anae's playcalling, which was pretty innefective for most the 2nd and 3rd quarters, and only barely effective in the 4th (because Taysom just started running the ball and not caring about his body). We lucked out a win.

So if Blueisbetter was the offensive coordinator we would have scored 100 points.
Blue is getting all cut up splitting hairs. I'll quote Coach Howell after the game, only 2 stats matter, W's and L's.

So you both think that the all out blitz (that was brought about midway into the second quarter) was countered effectively by our offensive playcalling?

That kind of depends on what our defense and special teams do or do not contribute. The BYU offense earned every point it got and overcame horrible field position, their own mistakes, spotty officiating, and the loss of JW in doing so.

Our defense is supposed to hold anybody and everybody below 24 points. Go ahead and subtract the Pick 6, KOR, and Safety. They still gave up 30. You would need to subtract the PI non-call to get them to 23. And if Houston kicked the EP instead of going for 2 - 24. But you cannot subtract that because calls go both ways.

And KOR to the house ain't supposed to happen. Rarely does. And that is one of several places where ST did not do their job.

If the BYU D holds BSU, ND, and Wisconsin each BELOW 24, BYU may win 1 or 2 of those.

Well that pribably depends a lot on who is healthy when those games come.

The D has held anyone and everyone under 24 - well under - until recently. Hopefully they get backcto that.

Something tells me that if BYU scored a touchdown on every possession but one, and kicked a field goal on that one exception, there would be a thread started on why the offense failed.

With 47 points scored despite numerous hurdles (including mistakes), the offense did just fine.

Don't forget that there are two teams on the field. Sometimes the other team makes a very good play. Sorry, but we have to play against another team who unfortunately actually succeeds in some plays. The key is to be successful more often than the opponent. I for one enjoyed that game more than any in a long time.

You didn't answer my question. "So you both think that the all out blitz (that was brought about midway into the second quarter) was countered effectively by our offensive playcalling?"

The key is to run plays to counter what your opponent is doing to take away their advantages. Anae didn't do that. Against a more talented team we lose that game. Boise is a more talented team than Houston, so is Notre Dame, so is Wisconsin.

That right there is a recipe for a 7-5 season. Are you all happy with that?
