Bronco, meet good coach. Good coach, meet Bronco
what an ass-kicking.
We looked like a directional technical institute out there. If I were Bronco I would have driven to the airport at half time. |

And Mangum looked like a true freshman quarterback. Ball didn't look like it was coming out of his hand right. Like maybe there was something wrong with his arm. Maybe it was the wind. Pressure up the middle was giving him happy feet, not stepping up and throwing.
It's hard to tell to what degree it was his problem or the receivers' problem or both. Announcers were saying that the receivers were getting no separation. Just kinda sad to lay an egg like that on national TV. BYU looked like the side-trash receptacle in the women's restroom. I was embarrassed and I don't even know anyone who cares. |

Mangum showed his lack of experience, but in his defense, our receivers were beyond AWFUL. The refs were allowing the Michigan DBs to be very physical with them and they just wilted and shrunk rather than get nasty and push back. Even if they would have been flagged for an offensive PI, they had to do it anyway to get the refs' attention and force them to watch what was going on. Without our receivers being able to get open there was no chance for our offense.

I'm sure several guys who think that they have a chance for the NFL on BYU just saw their stock crater

I thought the Roughing-the-passer call on Langi was crap. I'm hearing good explanations on CB that Anae's inability to adjust is to Michigan's CBs playing bump-and-run was Mangum's unfamiliarity with the offense. Oh well. |

I agree that some of the refs' calls early in the game were bad. Michigan's DBs were getting away with blatant holding and PI that wasn't being called. That's why I would have wanted to see our receivers get physcial back. The late hit call on the sideline against us as well as the roughing the passer were terrible calls which killed any chance we had of fighting our way back in.

I predicted TM's limited knowledge of the playbook would get the blame, but now that Michigan has diagrammed how to annihilate the Cougs, it will be interesting how many teams can replicate that performance. I am truly doubtful that we have a staff capable of producing a memorable season. The staff is capable of delivering 8 and 5 seasons galore and an occasional 9 and 3 or rarely a 10 and 2. It is unlikely we will ever see a 1 or 0 loss team with this coaching staff. And please shoot me the next time I start believing BYU has competent receivers. I fell for it again.

I would have loved to have seen a BYU receiver just shove one of those stupid DBs. I was a little encouraged today to read that Coach Holliday said he told the receivers to play tougher and hit back. Supposedly UConn has big physical DBs. Their defense is supposed to be good but their offense is bad. We'll see how it goes.
