Too Many Weapons?

yes, the TOP really surprised me. It sure didn't seem like they had the ball more. And I was really expecting big numbers for Asiata/Mack. And Louks turned out to have the most yards???

Anyone listen the post game show? The articles in the paper didn't have much insight. However, Kyle did say that wind messes more w/ the game plan than rain or snow. I'm leaning that the coaches game planned to a very conservative, limit turnovers ugly type game. That they scored so many points is likely pretty impressive.

I agree, BYU has the same problems with Unga, Vakapuna, Collie, Reed. Pitta, George, etc. The bottom line is Brian Johnson is not efficient enough. If and when Utah loses this year he will be the reason for it. You have good enough running backs and receivers to go undefeated but I dont think BJ is good enough.

It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out. Most games, he's been asked to simply manage the game and thus far, the team has been able to battle through his mistakes. At times, he has been flat out awful, but when he needed to drive the team down against OSU when most had counted him out, he came through

His biggest issue continues to be, IMO that he is so afraid to make a mistake tha he ends up making mistakes. He needs to not think so much and just get the ball to Casteel and the like and let those guys make plays.

All that said, the coaches also play a role in this in terms of his confidence and the plays that are called.
