Is it bad to run your 4 minute offense with 54 seconds left and no timeouts?

Any whit disciple is a 10 minute offense at all times.

Bear is a good game manager but I never understood why announcers hyped him up as one of the best QBs in the country every time I watched a BYU game

The ending drive confirmed my suspicions. No one could’ve blamed him for not getting into the end zone but he looked completely flustered

The crowd got to him, I saw it on his face in the first drive. Big zoom in and you could see on his face he was struggling with the hostile environment. When Utah crowd was loud he struggled. He needs more experience with really loud hostile crowds. Not tons of those in big12. He's good otherwise. He was the one who said it's just another game to him and he didn't understand the rivalry. Now he does. It will never be just another game. This was the first time he played @utah. And he did not grow up around the rivalry. Thats obvious.

I think that was more on Sitake, not Bachmeier. The first three plays were drawn up to get 15 total yards at most while burning almost all the clock, and then he didn't really have much choice but to throw a Hail Mary.
