He made a simple read on the LB and when he stepped up, he went over the top.
Really this has been a great start for us and more than I think most of us could have asked for. OL is looking good and despite Bridges needing to get his head around, Hall has been in that pocket holding the ball a lot at times because the coverage has been there.
I think we're due for a pick or 2 from the defense when we drop back.

Needless to say, if we can continue to run as we have been, we take this one.

What I don't like is our pass defense. Just leaving BYU receivers way too open.
We're giving them a zone and forcing them to beat us in a true bend but don't break. I actually like what I see by and large as they've mostly been held in check on the YAC and the tackling has looked good in the first half.
This is a good team we're playing even if they're down a few guys that could make some plays. Perhaps Nacua grabs that play vs Bridges in the end zone but perhaps Flowe blows up a play for a fumble too.

Yeah, since the Georgia debacle, our tackling has greatly improved.

Presuming the score a TD, then get the ball to start the second half... easily could have changed the momentum to lose the game. Rookie head coach call. I'm glad it worked, but I doubt we ever see that again.
I’d assume DL knew that. He also knows our OL is beating their DL like a read headed step child.

I personally don't understand why people were saying Ty was terrible only because Nix was chosen as QB, or something like that.
Anyways imagine if this game was part of a home-and-home series, it would have been kinda cool to be in Provo even if we have more chances of losing there than in Eugene.
