Video of dropped balls

Hence, in all, the drops directly attributed to between 10-14 less points, and only killed two additional drives. This game could have been a lot closer, but without some defensive three and outs, we likely end up with the same result--just not as ugly. Perhaps the offense could have given the defense more rest, but I am not sure that it was fatigue that was getting to BYU since we were driving the ball as much as poor tackling.

Thanks for the analysis. The game would have been a lot closer and maybe even winable with 10-14 more points. Because when BYU's offense is on the field USU's offense isn't. USU likely would not have ended up with as many points simply because they wouldn't have the ball as much.



I'm not saying that without the drops BYU wins the game, all I'm saying is that it would have been winable.

Definitely winnable. That 14 points would have given us 30 total, which is what Bronco said we need to win. So if we get those 14 points and our defense is able to turn one touchdown drive into just a field goal drive, we win the game. Let's hope we get those things corrected and fast. I have no doubt that under Bronco the defense will improve and keep opponents to under 30. We still need the offense to show they are capable of scoring 30.

Not only that, but let's not forget about the total mindgames Heaps has going on in his head before throwing every single ball. He doesn't just have to get it there anymore, I'm sure it has to be "perfect" in his mind now.



We now know what Max chose to do: Not throw to anyone else. You drop my throws, you don't get them anymore... And Maybe when Pitta and George and Jacobsen are double teamed I'll look your way. If Harvey isn't open, that is.

Why did I watch this frickin' crap?!?!



I'm just as frustrated now as I was on Friday!



Fire Asworth! Get him out of here! I would say the same thing with McKay BUT, blah blah blah... He's our more experienced one. He just showed the rest of the team how to drop 50% of his passes.



I hope Heaps matures sooner than later. Then he'll know not to throw these balls to Asworth and ------



I could see the anger in Bronco's eyes this game. He didn't look happy at all. I'm sure he wanted to yell the exact same things I was yelling at that time.

I wish he would've, but we know that will never happen. Sounds like he's letting them take it out on themselves this week by making them practice hard

I have been saying it since the firing of Hill. The offense has been bad but the defense has not given us a chance to win the game since the AF game. BYU was in the game at FSU until FSU came out in the second half and walked down the field in every drive in the second half for a score. Nevada walked down the field at will in the first half to a 24-3 lead. Utah state walked down the field at will in the first half for a 24-3 lead. If the defense keeps the score close in those games, the team doesn't lose heart and quit. Mind you, there is no excuse for quitting in a game (Heaps didn't have any quit in his eyes in any of those games) but it happened. Bronco is going to fix the defense, we will see how that affects the offense.

I agree. The biggest thing for me is that the Defense was actually expected to be pretty good this year. We definitely lost guys on that side of the ball but they were supposed to pick up the slack from the lack of experience on offense. Some people have asked why the offense hasn't been held more accountable, but there wasn't as much expected from the offense. We knew the offense would take some time to gel. The defense was supposed to not miss a beat, IMO.

Yeah, and not only have they been below expectations but this has been the worst defense that I can remember since I started paying attention to BYU football back in the Detmer days. Even in 2001 when we gave up nearly 35 pts per game, we weren't last in the country in run defense. This defense has been terrible.
