Default I'm expecting an apology to BYU fans by Bronco

for putting out a disgraceful Crowton-esque product on the field.

Today was a reminder of who the DC was in many of those blowout losses under Crowton. Yes, our own HC, even Bronco Mendenhall.

I do think Bronco will apologize, and will admit to being thoroughly outcoached in terms of preparing the team, getting them mentally ready, coming up with a good scheme, and adjusting the gameplan during the game.

The value of a good senior 3 year starter QB is amazing. He completely exposed the D. That along with the no-huddle scheme. The combination was kryptonite. Or more like lead in the paint.

btw, if this were Cuba 1950s football, Feinga and Bright would be blind-folded, given their last request of human growth hormone, and be shot.

Bronco owes us an apology for forcing his stupid sloganeering on our fan base. "Raising the Bar" and "Fully Invested" are just empty platitudes. His team has obviously not bought in.

But how can a team be so unprepared after the game we have against UCLA? I really expected them to commit few penalties this week. And fewer turnovers.

Bronco just said: that he shoulders the blame for the loss and that "we were exposed" with the speed in the secondary and against the deep ball tonight.

Mike you want a list of people that blame it on the refs, i want a list of people that jump ship on our D, that has played unbelievable in 12 of the last 16 games.

Just the secondary and coordinator. The front 3 played well. It wasn't our backers best game, but they had their moments. Our secondary was horrible. Bronco was outcoached as a DC.

Seriously we have some of the best linebackers out there, Why do Gooch and Buchanan feel the need to bite on every play action? Let the LBs do their job you are the last line of defense.

Apparantly they're not coached to play assignment football. Too much fanatical effort.

sorry, cj, I guess I'm supposed to congratulate Bronco.

Lack of speed was part of it. You don't think that UCLA and Arizona had fast WRs?

Give me a break.

When I see Nixon and Bolden (sp?) trailing a guy 35 yards down the field, with no safety help, I know that we are getting beat by the guy sitting upstairs.

In games we have won, we have been able to do so without being exposed for lack of speed. But in the game Bronco was simply outcoached. The scheme was not deceptive, and the guys were on their heels the entire game.

we have one very good LB. And we have two good LB. I think Kehl will play at the next level. Nixon and Poppinga won't IMO. I'm actually disappointed with Nixon's play this year. I was expecting him to be a bit more dominant. Maybe his injury/surgery is an issue.
