Collie, once again, comes to the rescue as BYU downs New Mexico 21-3.
Now I know what you are saying,”whyare you writing your blog on sunday, as opposed to yesterday after the game.” Well I tell you why. Yesterday I was sicker then a dog, and it took all my energy to be able to listen to the game. From this I came to a realization, the commentator are good at talking but not at announcing the game. I good with Blain Fowler and all that he say but he’s a color commentator and that’s what he is supposed to do. Now the Play by Play man, whose name escapes me, would be better at color commentating. It was in the middle of the game and this guy was talking about Rocky Long in the middle of the play so you really couldn’t tell what was happening. Now that’s off my chest let’s get to the game.
The Cougars unfortunately did what I was hoping they wouldn’t, they overlooked New Mexico to TCU. Fortunately Austin Colle saved us with his great performance of 9 catches for 162 yards and 1 TD. Was it just me or did it take BYU offensive coordinator, Robert Anae a few series to realize that they need to be running it more. Once they realized this it allowed Couger RB Harvey Unga to have another solid game. Also it opened up the field for their passing attack. Every good game BYU has played has been when they ran the ball on a consistent. Every offensive coordinator knows that when you run the ball well then the defense will pack it in, thus opening up the passes. But I will not question Robert Anae anymore because he has been a brilliant coordinator.
It also seems like BYU’s defense went back to the bend but don’t break mentality. Although it worked against the Lobo’s it will not work against the elite teams in the MWC. But the defense did step up, only allowing 3 point is cool in my book, but for as many times as they were able to get pass the 50 yard line just doesn’t sit well with me. Also I would like to give a heads up to defensive player Coleby Clawson who had two sacks in a row, awesome.
Also I would like to say welcome back to TE Andrew George who had 2 TD catches. Once again Max Hall had a solid game with 265 yards passing and 3 TD’s. He would of had more if BYU WR would of caught more but I also have to admit that the DB’s for New Mexico played very well. Well that’s it for me, I would make this longer but I am still trying to recover from being sick yesterday. Oh ya…..Go Cougars.
