Son of craig oscar.



I find it funny people call you "craigo" . But it works.



I don't want to jump in this fight, but I think for me Craig, it was the way we lost, not the loss itself. Our loss was giving up on passing, and giving up on our young talent. Jake was overly punished and has handled it well, but you just can't screw with young talent like that. That has been, and was very badly handled in the 2nd game and before.






yep, things like that happen in transition seasons. There aren't a dozen current D1 head coaches with any experience breaking in a true freshman in the 2nd game of a season where they also have only 7 contributing seniors. It was a fail game and there may be more this year; but sometimes that's what it takes to build a dynasty in the future. At least at BYU when we struggle, we still sell out our stadium and go to a bowl game (which is what will happen this year).



The tone of this forum has been that of a morgue. No one died, let's support our team and move on; and if there are bumps in the road sobeit. That's what happens with such an inexperienced team with immense talent and little actual flight time. These young guys will eventually spread their wings, but we dont' get to decide when and unfortunately the coaches have the tough job of weighing the risk vs the reward of kicking them out of the nest before they're ready.

Who are we to decide if they're ready? We dont' see them every single day in practice.



Whoever thought that this transition season would be easy was smoking something.



btw dont' worry about butchering the name....I'd rather have people make a mistake with my name than post under any form of anonymity. Trolls and those with multiple identities really ruin this and any forum on the internet. I could name 5 guys on this forum that I would give 10/1 odds on and take all bets, that have had multiple identities on this forum, just to spread rumor or take a stance that they weren't man enough to do on their main identity; a couple are two of the most frequent fliers here. I'll let you do the math.

Maybe that will balance out the fact that we're not throwing to receivers under Riley? Hope so. There are so many negative possibilities that playing riley ball could lead to.

Can you imagine Kasen Williams and Austin Sefarious-Jenkins (the #1 WR and #1 TE in the nation that BYU was recruiting) coming to BYU and being thrown to only once every three games with Riley Nelson as the starting QB?

BYU fans dont' seem to need Ute trolls to piss on our team, we seem to be doing it just fine ourselves. The bandwagon cleared out fast... The short term bitching over one game has been appalling and exasperating. It's one game and one season after several consecutive double digit win seasons, in a year where BYU has the smallest senior class in a decade. We potentially have the most talented freshman qb in the history of this school and he's playing this year; the fact that he's even capable of taking snaps as a true freshman is unbelievable.



I never expected better than 8-4 this year, and I didnt' expect to win at AFA. I think some of you wet blankets just got your hopes up too high and can't handle a transition year. The bitching and crying does nothing for BYU or the team... All you wet blankets need to go back and look at what we've achieved the last 4 years. A great deal of our talent are inexperienced and young and it showed on the field last week. Big deal.

Speaking of bitching... Jeebus!



And your comment that BYU had no shot at beating Air Force this year or winning 9 games? Really? That's just plain... there are too many negative words to describe it.



But clearly, BYU was good enough to beat Air Force is our coaches had been coaching FOR US instead of sabotaging the game. Anae sabotagued Bronco's 2 QB system, and then when JJ was far-and-away our best offensive player, he took him out the game too. It was ridiculus to watch. And it's even more ridiculous for a "fan" who came on this board to say he was never giving another dollar to BYU again to now say "don't complain about bad coaching decisions, or coaches and players giving up on BYU. It's not okay to be unhappy with poor effort and terrible results." That's crap and you know it.



Get off the board and go to a fireside if your take this week is "winning, playing hard, and trying don't matter to me in sports".

Everyone needs to chill on this thread. Get back on the topic posted by the OP and don't threadjack anymore. This thread was not meant to be a "Piss on the coach/Piss on Riley/Piss on each other" thread.
