Unsatisfied.

So, BYU played again this weekend, and they won. Being 2-0 is a good place to be, and I shouldn't have anything to complain about. I am still less than satisfied so far this season. Yeah, we beat N Iowa 41-17, and yes, Max Hall and Dennis Pitta are having great years so far stat wise. But it still seems like they aren't playing up to their potential. Which is annoying, because until/unless they do, potential isn't anything but hot air.

Let's look at the UW game this last Saturday. There is no way it should have been so close. Usually rock solid Unga fumbled the ball on the one yard line, Hall threw an interception that stopped a drive we were rolling down the field to end the half with, and the defense would play great, put UW in a 3rd and long or 4th down situation, and then let them convert.

Stat wise we dominated the game, but we never put it away. We can't keep playing like that. That won't work against UCLA, in my opinion, and we would be hard pressed to get that to work on the road against TCU, or Utah. A win is a win, but we should be able to play better.

On a side note, I am getting really sick and tired of all the sports people whine about how the flag at the end of the UW game was a bad call. It wasn't, it was the right call, following the letter of the stupidest rule in all of sports. There could not be a worse rule, if you put together a committee and said, go come up with a rule more out of step with watching a sports event, they couldn't do it.

However, it is the rule. Everyone knows it is the rule, because people complain about it all the time. Everyone knows that if you throw the ball high into the air after scoring, you have broken the rule, and could get a flag. Locker knew it, he shouldn't have done it, why tempt fate?

So, to sum up......the rule is stupid, but the flag was appropriate. And its hard to complain about it as a UW fan, when your kicker got his kick blocked by a guy whose feet were not even off the ground, and his hand was straight out, instead of up.
