UNLV selling out to stop Harvey & thoughts on the game

Post by hawkwing »

It looks to me like UNLV is selling out to stop Harvey. Having linebackers follow him no matter the play. I think this could clear up the middle of the field for the TEs to have a big day. The question is, does BYU try to take advantage of this?

That interception by Jordan Pendelton has to be one of the most beautiful interceptions, athletic plays I've ever seen!

UNLV is selling out against Harvey, but it didn't do them any good. Harvey beat the first LB and then the whole field was wide open for his 33 yard touchdown run.

Also BYU's kickoffs have been magnificent so far this game.

Hall to Pitta for a beautiful 30 yard or more pass, it was a thing of beauty. Pitta is just so good at getting inside his man. And then Harvey Unga walks into the corner of the endzone.

Also, one of the best parts of this game? I have KSL radio on, and it is synced PERFECTLY with the TV broadcast. Hooray!

And the first negative on the Cougar squad. They completely left the middle of the field open on the kickoff, allowing a return for a TD. It was also the first kickoff not to make it to the endzone this game.

And Harvey gets his 3rd score because the LB that is shadowing him can't tackle him. This run went what, 52 yards? He's already over 100 yards for the game.

Scotty Johnson just made a very nice pick. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

And while I'm gushing about Harvey here, how about Manase Tonga? The guy is a bull dozer out there, blowing away the UNLV defenders.

Hall just nicely faked the screen pass and found Pitta completely wide open down the field. Pitta then made the secondary look foolish and practically walked in to the endzone. Man he is that good.

Great series for J.J. he's a family favorite in our home. So it's great to see him get some nice runs and catches on this drive.
