Honestly pulling for BYU, but I know realistically speaking that Boise State is going to win this shit.

Also, off-topic, but how's the IW beta? DLing that shit now; heard it was basically a copy of BOIII.

Refs trying to figure out the rules on the fly, I guess.

Never heard so many boos.

Let's just say they're lucky they're packing in CoD4.

(IW isn't great)

 

[diehard]

yall just missed one of the worst special team calls ive ever witnessed

edit: yall missing some fuckery.

 

[chaosblade]

I can't believe that was called. I can't believe the punter didn't question it or just refuse.

Just... what?


And then Boise misses the FG. What is this game?


Lucky as hell and actually gain 15 yards in the end off of that awful, stupid decision in the end.

I would say Ghosts 2.0, but the campaign looks pretty decent so probably closer to AW 2.0.

 

[diehard]

bwahaha this game yall

 

[chaosblade]

Another pick-6. Boise's QB might be bad.


This game is a comedy of errors.

 

[Westonian]

And followed by a fumble.

Boise does not want to win this game.

 

[diehard]

They will get their shit together, cause our offense is uuugh right now

why Mangum is not playing will never be explainable.

 

[Westonian]

I feel like the turnovers have been more luck than anything. Our secondary is baby thigh soft.

 

[chaosblade]

That was a pretty catch.

378 yards to 98 yards. But the game is 21-17. Lol.

 

[ryseing]

AW had decent enough MP tho.

I can't even think of a comparison as there hasn't really been a game in the series with shoddy MP but a decent SP. MW3 maybe?

 

[diehard]

Man i wish we had an Elite 8 winning, NFL caliber throwing QB on our roster. Oh wait, we do?

 

[DorkLord54]

Why can't every game in the series be like MW1+2 and BOI+II and have both a good campaign and multiplayer?*

Also, if Boise State actually loses this, I will be so happy since it means, if Western remains undefeated, they might have a chance at a NY6 bowl.

* Purposely leaving the first two games out since they were mostly SP focused like fellow WWII shooter MoH.

 

[Westonian]

Boise is trying so hard to give this game to BYU.

And BYU is trying their hardest to give it back.

Hot potato W.

 

[diehard]

Anyone ever feel like they could honestly be a better ref than some of these dudes out there?

 

[perfectchaos007]

That was a beautiful TD catch by BYU

edit: looks like he'll be down inside the 1 yard line. Still an amazing grab

 

[Westonian]

Anyone ever feel like they could honestly be a better ref than some of these dudes out there?

These refs look like they took out a prop bet on the number of flags in this game.

 

[chaosblade]

No TD and basically no penalty for roughing the passer.

Got it on the next play anyway.

 

[Westonian]

This game is a suck off.

 

[Westonian]

LOOOOOOL!

 

[diehard]

can we pleeeeeeease not get a holding call when we are near fg range? Our offense cant get 20 yards in 3 downs.

 

[Westonian]

BYU's red zone offense consists entirely of drawing holding penalties.

 

[DorkLord54]

Holy shit, BYU might actually pull this off.

 

[diehard]

Holy shit, BYU might actually pull this off.

they really wont

 

[eBay Huckster]

they might, but probably won't

 

[diehard]

what a dumbass decision to not get more yards

 

[perfectchaos007]

wtf? They get the ball back because the kick attempt doesn't cross the LoS and they kicked it before 4th down? I have never heard of that rule

 

[unknownstranger]

LOL I've never seen what just happened in this game.

 

[DorkLord54]

Get mad, Boise State.

 

[unknownstranger]

Clock I think should have kept running and this game should be over.

 

[DorkLord54]

Such an anti-climactic end.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Boise St's playoff hopes stay alive

 

[diehard]

4 losses by a combined 8 points

i hate this season

First off, we only schedule 3 teams.

Second Colorado was no cupcake

Colorado absolutely was a cupcake when you scheduled them. You can get credit for playing an improved Colorado team, but you get absolutely no credit for scheduling the game in the first place.

It's why i keep telling people that when we scheduled Fresno St, they were consistently good. Not our fault they suck now.

UM thought Colorado would be a cupcake when they played the game. And in most years they'd be right. I still don't really know if they're a good team, but they're not nearly as bad as they usually are.

That BYU fake punt was the worst I've ever seen.

 

[Fragamemnon]

That BYU fake punt was the worst I've ever seen.

That was one of the worst coaching decisions I've ever seen, and I lived through years of Jeff Bowden playcalling. I'm convinced something got screwed up with the inputs to the decision process-not even the zoobs are that dumb.

Maybe the punter decided that on his own like the Clemson guy did. Any coach calling that should rethink his career.

Nebraska gets extra credit for Fresno State and Oregon this year then haha

nah, look at the blocking. it was called.

I think there is some genius to it, calling it where they'd never expect it.

The problem is in that kind of situation the other team is usually running punt block soooooo

You're right about the blocking. Dumb call. Of course it looks genius if it works but it puts your defense in such a bad position if it doesn't. Obviously on the opponents side of the 50, a fake punt makes sense. This just doesn't.

I don't see any way to defend that call when it was a one score game in the first half. Plenty of time to score. They were lucky it didn't result in a safety, though I'm assuming BSU scored a TD afterwards so a safety would have actually been preferable.

 

[jstevenson]

Related to Indiana stealing signs:

"*After the game I wrote about how Nebraska used special cards to help change up their defensive play calling this past week. Come to find out, those cards were just one of many decoys the Huskers put in place to mess with Indiana’s offensive staff who is known for stealing signals.

One of the coaches I talked to on staff said it was pretty funny to see the Hoosier coaches frantically writing down what each card was, etc. to decipher their signals.

The best story was after the refs stopped play because Indiana tried to snap the ball too fast, the Nebraska booth caught the Indiana booth looking to see what their next sign was going to be. The coaches box said “hold up, they are watching what we do,” so Nebraska didn’t signal anything and Indiana was forced to use a timeout because they couldn’t get a call in with a 25 second play clock vs. a 40 second clock. It was pretty good gamesmanship all around. "

BYU actually got the stop after that and Boise missed the FG. It was ridiculous.

Tons of credit for scheduling them! Not so much for beating them.

Holy... what the... I can't.

Yeah, inexplicable call. Hopefully Lonestar or you (whoever does next week's OT) can hang onto that gif and put in the OT.

4th and 19 from your 2. In the 2nd quarter in a one score game. With the punter trying to run the ball out. :jnc

I should be able to do it next week. Had a deadline in federal court Wednesday that had me all but living in the office for the past couple of weeks.

I meant Miami since they were playing last night and returning to the acc cellar where they belong

 

[Fragamemnon]

Thinking you are smarter than you actually are is very much a BYU thing, so yeah it makes sense in that context.

The world's a better place when Miami's in the dumpster.
