BYU's downfall!!!

Okay, before you read this post I will say up front that I am no football genius. Some might call me a armchair quarterback, but I would like to think that I know a little bit more then the average Joe about football. I played two years in high school, and I have watched college football for the last four years of my life. I look forward to college gameday, I stay up late at night getting the ESPN highlights of the games that day, and I let my voice be heard when I know that a team blew a game, and just a little hint for everyone, my goal in life is to coach a college football team to a national championship. I feel personally that the instant reply in college should be done away with, even if it fixs problems that some stupid officials may make. The thing about college football, is that the student athletes on the field are playing with all their heart, they have family and friends that watch them and they try to show them what it is all about. Pro football is all about money and PR, high school doesn't have the talent like college athlete's do, so what is the greatest football on earth, college football. Today's game was disappointing to BYU fans all over the world. For us to lose a game that we had been leading all along is rather pathetic personally disagree with Mendenhall's coaching strategy, his defense is to aggressive putting 8 guys in the box and leaving teams with plenty of cushion underneath to make small plays. You don't need a 80 yard pass to score every time, you just need to keep picking up the first downs. You pick up five yards on every play you might ended up with a 3rd and inches every now and then but not enough to force the punt. I understand that he is trying to put pressure on the quarter back but his defense wasn't placing the pressure that he needed. He should have been playing three man front dropping eight d-backs, forcing the young quarter back to make a throw or TCU to run the ball. The entire loss wasn't on the coach, the team didn't play defense the last quarter of the game. They felt that the lead they had would hold up and they just needed to slow them down long enough. You can't play like that, especially if your coach is going to blitz on every play. You have to bring your A game on every play. You can't take a play off and come back for the next one. BYU, played a spectacular first half, but the game didn't end at half time, it goes for four quarters. BYU should have learned that after TCU upset Utah last week in the same manner. Just some thoughts. BYU can still make a bowl this year and can still have a winning season, they can still become Mountain West Conference Champs, we just need to bring our A game and play to our best every game. No more trying to find our identity.
