The ball is dead unless one of our guys touches it, so rather than take the chance of giving them another shot, we just left it.Sammich wrote:So why weren't our guys going after the ball after they blocked the kick? I thought the ball was fair game with a missed kick, and they could have tried to return it. And could NM not pick it up and do anything with it either? Their guy ran around the ends, picked up the ball, then took a knee. I admit I've always been a bit fuzzy on the rules with blocked field goals.

Agreed! Our O-line is terrible today. Max Hall has had adequate time at best and Unga and co. haven't had anywhere to go.hawkwing wrote:The offense is whats really killing me. Come on guys.
BTW, I am convinced we are gonna lose this game now. We just look THAT bad today

Re: BYU - New Mexico Game thread
What a frustrating game! Is it hurting our offense to have Aletto and Reynolds out that much, or is New Mexico's defense really that good?
BYU's defense is playing more like they usually do, so no real surprise there.

Re: BYU - New Mexico Game thread
Is it just me or does BYU always seem to choke on a big play on defense?
Countless 3rd and longs given up, 4th downs... those are the most frustrating things for me to watch

Wow, I'm discouraged by our play too, but that's Pessimism with a capitol P. Can you really think that?Matty-B wrote:BTW, I am convinced we are gonna lose this game now. We just look THAT bad today

Re: BYU - New Mexico Game thread
New Mexico is having serious problems with the field goal, their kicker looks pissed pushing a coach.

ARGH!!!!!!! I take that back... The most frustrating thing to watch is that damned "on the field commentator" Where did they find him?

Maybe not but I am in an incredibly bad mood right now. It's not just the "P" that is capitalized.
We should be THRASHING this team. 0-9??? and they are playing us this close???

Re: BYU - New Mexico Game thread
I can't believe there have been so many dropped catches. The throws haven't been the best, but these are catches these guys absolutely can and must make.

Great pitch and catch to Ashworth for the TD. Man that was a pretty throw and wide open receiver.
