That's not true. Toledo is no slouch. Not like Idaho State, Liberty, or UMass. But the team has had sucky moments on all sides of the ball.byufan4ever wrote: ↑Sat Sep 28, 2019 1:10 pm This should have been one of the easier games on our schedule...

Late tackle out of bounds and DB with hand on WR but no calls.

Re: ESPN+
They also are no where near the team they were last year. I read up on their season expectations and who've they've played so far this year and they are an above average team. That's it.Fido wrote: ↑Sat Sep 28, 2019 1:12 pmThat's not true. Toledo is no slouch. Not like Idaho State, Liberty, or UMass.

Re: ESPN+
Take aways from the game:
- Zac Wilson injured his right hand/arm on the last interception (getting in on the tackle).
- Jaren Hall looked good in a situation where he had to come in and throw the ball downfield in a hurry. Showed he can but a couple decisions were tough--couldn't finish the game-tying drive.
- Offense was terrible in converting 3rd/4th and short (5/15 on 3rd down, 0-2 on 4th down).
- Defense was jeckyl/hyde from the 1st half to the 2nd half. Kept the edge and slowed Toledo in the first half. Let Toledo do whatever they wanted in the 2nd half.
A huge setback. Blaine Fowler said it best--as big as beating USC was in moving the team forward, the Toledo loss sets them back. BYU looked like an average G5 team today.

Re: ESPN+
It was a team loss ... offense couldn't score, stalled in plus territory, etc. Defense choked in the 2d half, didn't make adjustments to Toledo
Look anywhere you want, O, D, Special Teams ... it was a team loss

Re: ESPN+
Post-game discussion: LBs have responsibilities for the running QB to keep him contained. At times BYU had 4 freshmen playing LB so that inexperience was exposed a bit.
Defense giving up 242 yards rushing is way too much.
Dayan G's interview that may be a bit telling--(I'll paraphrase)--People keep saying the tough part of the schedule is behind us but its not. Its just starting. Every game is a dogfight and if you don't show up you won't win.

Re: ESPN+
I was disappointed to hear that Wilson was benched because of injury. I was hoping that he was benched because of play. With 1 minute left, 3 time outs, tie game, on your 25 there is no reason to throw 30 yards into double coverage in the middle of the field.
I'm a big Jaren Hall fan, and I haven't been impressed with Wilson's decision making. Hopefully they open up the competition and give him 50/50 reps over the bye week. Hall is every bit as good as Wilson, he just needs the reps and game xp.

Re: ESPN+
Sitake interview: All phases of the game this week were not good enough--offense, defense, special teams, and coaching. Could not get momentum going their way. The guys are playing hard but as a team they aren't playing good enough together and that is the coach's job to fix. They are going to evaluate everything and get ready for USF. "Looks like we'll have a new QB for our next game". Said they are still evaluating but Jaren Hall will be the QB for USF at this point.
