QB Jaren Hall is much more mobile than Zach Wilson so you may see Grimes adjust the game plan to have more RPOs to take advantage of his running ability. He also has an arm for the deep throws like he showed in the Toledo game.

What I saw was they were picked to win the MAC.

My sincere question--is Khyris Tonga hurting his going-to-the-NFL-this-year chances this year by the defense playing so subpar on rushing defense (which is supposed to be his strength)?

I thought the offensive line was suppose to be a strength, does this team even have a legit strength?

Let's be honest. BYU should never struggle against any team in the MAC. They're one step above the Sunbelt conference. BYU looks like they're striving for mediocrity.

Really? The HD looks fine on my system.
No, the HD is fine--everything else about the broadcast (in/out of focus, commentators who obviously didn't prep for the game before 9am this morning, bad camera angles/zoom choices, no 1st down line, production issues etc.) is .mtn quality.

Hence, .mtnHD.

What's not to like about a QB who runs backwards three times before taking a sack instead of just throwing the ball out of bounds?

Gotta keep that completion percentage up to keep your personal stats looking good for the pro scouts, ya know.

Sadly, this is something you could see coming with Sitake. Beat USC. Lose to Toledo. Sitake is consistently inconsistent.

Or my personal favorite: run out of bounds for a 3 yard loss (not under duress) instead of throwing the ball away.

Items 1 and 2 on an unfortunately pretty long list.
His "understanding of the game" was supposed to be his calling card and advantage over Hall. I just dont see it.

I said a year ago before the bowl game to not count Hall out and give Wilson the reigns just yet, but the majority of Coug fans rode the train to crazy town with their expectations.

Really? I saw that they were picked to be 3rd at best in MAC. They lost some real talent from last season and were not expected to be able to quickly reload.
