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.
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.
You're one furrious cougar. Tough man to please.

I guess....but when you get payed all that money...I expect smarter decisions than that, and better control of your emotions at the right times, and showing of emotions at the right time. It's not like he's volunteering out of the goodness of his heart.

But the play they ran was stupid.
agree 100%

**raising my hand** BYU wins in overtime, BYU's defense was dominating BSU, BYU would have won in overtime.
<<raising my hand too>>
<<Raises both hands. I won't tell you which fingers are up or down.>> The offense hadn't scored on you in 4 entire quarters, even getting the ball at the freaking 5 yard line!!!

-We have hit 68 consecutive extra points so a tie was but all guaranteed

-Our offense was finally moving the ball ok
Reason seems to say that we could have kicked the PAT, got a stop on defense, and kicked a field goal to possibly win. Worst case scenario is we go in to overtime where we have ALL the momentum.
Dumbest call I've ever seen in a BYU football game in my life.
Couldn't be more pissed and embarrassed as a BYU fan right now...
It is very discouraging. Such high hopes. Could have, and should have, won the last 2 games.

When I saw the offense trotting out there to run a play I already labeled it the wrong decision, whether they converted or not. Not kicking an onside kick was unintentionally giving up. Time for a shake up.

Should have kicked the PAT. After missing 2-point conversion, with no timeouts, should have kicked on-side kick. We really need someone who understands ANYTHING about offense and managing the clock (saving time-outs) to take the reigns of this team.
What I saw tonight was the WORST coaching I have ever seen in any sporting event. UNACCEPTABLE! I am ready to join the Ute fan at heckling Bronco. Not really but I am ready for a change. We are back to the Crowton era everyone!
At least we have Rose for BB!
