Time for a second turnover

 

[Rudy89]

again, this could cost us the game not taking the points.

Hopefully the D doesn't do a classic end of half turtle here...

They missed the PAT and we just gave it back to them. That wasn't smart.

 

[MacIrish75]

You never know how it’ll play out, but if BYU puts up 7 and we counter with a FG it’s a one possession game and not two.

 

[NDGOLDEN]

You guys are thinking too much into one point lol

 

[irishff1014]

Mills was held bad.

 

[KPENN]

Blatant hold lol

 

[Sea Turtle]

I don't like chasing points.

 

[NorthDakota]

My goodness

 

[IrishLax]

ND is a couple bounces/miscues away from being up like 28+ points. Thoroughly dominated that half.

 

[MacIrish75]

I mean, hey.

Good half.

 

[KPENN]

Good half, but it feels like it should be bigger than a 12 point lead

 

[sixstar]

255 to 60 total yards going into the half. Beautiful.

 

[rtrn2glory]

I still don't like not kicking the extra point.

Getting the ball after half and kick a field goal makes it a full 2 possession game.

 

[Irish4life]

My expectations have been surpassed. Very strong first half. Love getting the ball out of half time.

 

[rtrn2glory]

The strategy of preventing two touchdowns for the lead.

It's the first half..I think you just kick it. You get the ball after half there's no need to chase

 

[Rudy89]

I just hope we can keep it up. Nothing has ever been consistent about nd since I’ve been a fan of it and no lead is ever safe.

 

[DomerInHappyValley]

I feared Stroud far more than I fear what I've seen of this BYU QB
I don't care how much Garrett dick rides him.

Exactly. They are a dropped Chris Tyree screen pass and a blownup 4th and 1 near the goalline from being up 26 - 6 minimum. With the opportunity for an additional int/pick 6 and a missed fumble recovery.

This team played on fire in the first half.

 

[NDGOLDEN]

The only reason they have points is because of the punt return. If it wasn’t for that they probably wouldn’t have scored this half

 

[Riddickulous]

Has to be said: Drew Pyne is dealing once again

 

[ulukinatme]

Hindsight is 20/20. Kicking the XP puts us up 13, missing the 2PT leaves us 12 up and doesn't change much. Making 2PT puts us up two scores, it wasn't an awful choice. The pass got rushed, we had an open guy.

 

[arrowryan]

Going for 2 was the right call.

Going up 13 doesn’t do much, compared to 12. They wanted the two touchdown lead.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Pyne is doing well..... But anybody else see that last throw to Thomas and think he literally threw that as far as he could

Yup.


Especially knowing they had no timeouts and were absolutely dogging them on D.

 

[T-Boone]

Pyne is looking good in the pocket - better than Book. He has a better looking pass as well.
I hope to see more of Staes.
Estime is goodd do.
The oline looks good.
Just need some more turn overs.

No.

 

[sixstar]

BYU would be NFL champs if not for some jitters apparently
