This comes down to coaching. We got demolished in the coaching category and the BYU coaches made awful decisions. They need to take this one on the chin and learn from their mistakes. Mistakes in personnel, gameplan, and preparation
Moreover, when they made adjustments, they made at least one of them in the wrong direction.
the BYU coaching staff makes no counter adjustments and sails to three consecutive quarters of scoreless football along with a second half of near complete three-and-out possessions...

#1 - I bet the offense has many more penalties against them when Riley plays.

#2 - I suspect that the RB average yards per rush is much higher when Heaps is playing.

Final observations:

#1 - I fail to understand the rotation at RB. I don't see any competitive advantage in using Kariya. Furthermore, I don't understand why DiLuigi is leading the team in big plays but sharing the workload evenly with the other two.

#2 - I am concerned about the coaching staff's response to BOTH the Heaps interception and the DiLuigi fumble.

#3 - The whole thing with Riley Nelson and the two quarterbacks feels so... dare I say it... Crowton-esque. In fact, the infatuation with Nelson feels Lance Pendleton to me. We have suddenly gone all cutesie... and truly, we are better with precision execution sustained over time... when taking into account all of the film this year, hasn't Heaps drives looked more precise, deliberate, and intentional?

Someone on the BYU offensive Coaching Staff needs to be held accountable. This stuff is obvious to everyone who watches.

I said this last week. Give JJ more touches. Take away Kariya's touches. Give Quezada some touches. Simple.

JJ had about 11 yards per run on Saturday. He got 7 touches.

Nelson had about 4 yards per run on Saturday. He got 20 touches, or about 3 times more than JJ.

Kariya had about 2 yards per run on Saturday. He got 7 touches, SAME AS DILUIGI!

Quezada had zero touches for the 2nd game in a row, after outplaying Kariya in Fall camp. Ridiculous.

Hard to keep giving JJ touches when he keeps putting the ball on the ground. There are two players that make me wince every time they touch the ball - JJ and OC. I'm just waiting for the fumble to come whenever they get their fingers on the ball.

But they MUST get Quezada the ball, and NOW. Screw the "seniority" bull crap! Go with ABILITY!
