Hall has first year starter lockonitis
He had receivers open but locked on to his primary receiver and really had his first bad, bad game. Glad our line made it good for Unga and Tonga.

Anae seems to have zero misdirection plays and screens in the playbook. It's kind of scary. This doesn't help Hall.
Anae is ok. But he's not going to be getting any HC offers anytime soon. |

It seems like WRs don't exist in this offense. It's either the check down or the TE in the middle of the field. It's like watching a very bad version of Romo.
I think Hall will be special, but he's obviously got a ways to go. Luckily he plays in a terrible conference, and plays for fans who don't expect to beat BCS in non-conf. so he will be just fine. |

Anae's offense can certainly be very effective when he's got really good players, but the ability to adjust when your players are underperforming seems to be the mark of a great coach, and the lack of misdirection and poor blocking is liable to get Hall killed. |

BYU must have plays in the system that take into account relentless pressure. The screen is a must-have play for such situations. I just can't understand why it has been totally absent. Hall ran the first bootleg play against UNLV that I have seen all year. It was incomplete, and he didn't look great on the throw. I wonder if he struggles with throwing on the run (so they don't call the plays) or if he struggled because he never practices throwing on the run. |

Why is Anae taking heat? We got 400+ yards in offense, and only punted once the entire game. That means that we either scored or turned the ball over every time we had the ball. I think Anae did a great job. UNLV decided to take out our WR's , so we ran the ball up up their ass. It was a sloppy game, but that had nothing to do with Robert Anae.

Texas Tech runs a WR screen to Crabtree. That kid is just a freshman man is he incredible. This is his line for the year:
2007 78 1244 15.9 75 17 17 touchdowns, 78 receptions, 1244 yards. In 7 games. Maybe Anae needs to go back to Texas Tech and sign up for a coach's clinic. |

I can't think of a single time this year that the thought occurred to me "we are winning because of our coaching." I have had the opposite thought. "we are losing because of our coaching."
this season represents yoeman's work on the part of the coaches. nothing special there. |
