Worst Coaching Decision in the History of BYU Football.

Love the call. If they get it everyone on here is saying what a great call it was.

Uhhhhh. No. I'd be saying it was an awfully stupid call, but that I'm glad we got it. Just because something works out well doesn't make it a good decision.

Although I don't agree with it, Petersen said he would have gone for 2 as well. And they do always say to "go for the win" when you're playing away.

Yeah, after sitting on it for an hour, and given our offensive ineptitude. I think you go for two.

I change my vote.

If you convert it, now Boise has to open up and take chances on offense and maybe they make a mistake trying to force things.

We want aggressive offensive coaches. Right call, bad blocking.

You are all crazy. It was absolutely the right call. Raise your hand if you think byu would have won in ot. but at that point byu had the momentum and bsu was on their heals. When your offense has looked that completely and totally inept, but you have a chance to win the game, you take it. I have no problem with the decision to go for 2.

But the play they ran was stupid.

**raising my hand** BYU wins in overtime, BYU's defense was dominating BSU, BYU would have won in overtime.

<<raising my hand too>>

Disagree 100%. Our o has not shown that they nearly enough mental toughness to win in ot. They would have choked the game away on penalties or turnovers. Going for two was the right call.

Yet were stuck with a loss so.....was it really the right call? No way! However, not trying an onside kick when Boise didn't have a kicker they trusted and we had no time outs was just as bad!!!

EXACTLY. When your offense is stinking it up, but by some miracle you have a chance to take the lead late in the game, you go for it.

The guy who blew up the play was the guy who had the pick six. He made a play when it was needed.

There certainly was merit for it. Here's my take... Bronco was caught up in the "emotion" of the game. Something we've wanted to see out of him for a while. We wanted to see some innovative play calling. Wanted to be unpredictable. He was providing all of that and I'm fine with trying to get the win. the offense just PLOWED over the last 20 yards of the field and BSU was guessing. Great time for the call but BSU had some players really step up in that final play.

You guys whining about the loss need to get some perspective. The season is over and it is over even if we win this horrible horrible game. This offense isn't doing anything against the meat of our schedule so what does a single win matter? It's going to be an ugly year.

Oh please, you can't count all the of the bad O that Nelson had and say that the offense was stinking it up and we wouldn't be able to score in OT. Taysom had 3 drives and scored a touchdown. And let's face it, I'd hardly say the one starting from our own goaline counted for much. Additionally, if anything, Boise should have been figuring out Taysom more and more with each drive, instead it was him who was getting more and more confidence and the extra edge.

But Taysom had just shown that he was completely capable of another score. Makes no sense.

I'm sorry there was no merit for that. And see Bronco's emotion was the problem here. All the times that he needs to grow a pair and do something bold he doesn't. And the ONE time where he should finally play conservative like he normally does, is the ONE time he doesn't. I mean, go figure. Jeez.
