1. Horrendous performance by the offense in the first half. They looked terrible. Like they don't even practice. Remember the days that BYU used to drive the ball down the field at will? Yes, they were good days.

2. Having watched 6 quarters, I felt like there were no real weapons on offense. No one who could create a big play. The new RB transfer, he may be strong. But he doesn't have any juke in him. He doesn't make people miss. And he's not all that fast. He's not a big play guy.

3. Well it turns out that the best player is the WR Simon. He came up big, as the only WR who made plays.

4. Its seems like our QB still has a lot of good will among the fans. But man, he in general wasn't very good. Part of the issue is the poor OL.

5. The OL could not protect. As one article pointed out after the game, that was surprising given how bad the TN defensive line is. Gone are the days of Ty Detmer with 8 seconds in the pocket.

6. Placekicker was obviously huge.

7. Impressed with the number of BYU fans in the stands. That was a very nice invasion of SEC home turf. I miss having BYU in the same conf as TCU. You could go to the game at TCU and half the fans were for BYU.

8. Nice to win. But we've seen this movie before, just like the Wisconsin win last year. Except this TN team is worse than that Wisconsin team. So what this means is that we don't have a disastrous start. And it's more likely that we will qualify for the bowl game. But we essentially have nothing else to play for. No NY bowl. No playoff. No conference championship. Just bowl or not. And top 25 or not.

9. I still can see a bad end to this year. And empty stands. And Sitake being fired. That outcome is still in play.
