I seriously don’t know if I am going to be able to take nail biters every Saturday. I loved close games when I was playing, but as a fan I want to see domination and physical play. However, at the same time I have accepted that each game will be close and BYU has the ideal team to win any game that goes down to the wire.
How much confidence do we have in our BYU offense? You can talk about the turnovers or the penalties, but you have to tip …

Tulsa falls to the mighty Razorbacks. It was a close game but Tulsa threw a late interception that sealed the victory for the Razorbacks.
Florida State is down late to GT and probably won’t be able to come back.
Minnesota fell to the Northwestern Wildcats on the final play of the game. Minnesota’s quarterback threw an interception, which was returned for a touchdown. This heartbreaking play put the Wildcats up as time ran out.

The Colorado State defense has been about as consistent as a defense could be, especially in limiting offense’s big play. They use well-schemed pressures and athletes in different positions in order to create mismatches. Sometimes their scheming works and sometimes it hurts them. Early this season the defense had to play a lot of snaps and learned quickly that if they don’t give up the big plays their team will have late opportunities to win the game. They are also a “bend, not break” type of defense.

1)The Power run game with pulling guards.
2)Always running to the same O-Linemen (They had strong and weak Guards and Tackles, not left and right. They would rotate to where the majority of the runs went)
3)Scissors. Coach Mendenhall would have the scout team running that route every other play.
But each year had it’s own memories as well…
In 2004 I was a walk-on freshman and converted LB, previously a safety. I had started the first …
