The Summers Pick

[Nostical]

Look, I wished he would have scored. Had he deaked and headed right he would have likely gone for 6, but had he tried to run over the QB and fumbled we all would have said why didn't he just go out of bounds. This is a teaching moment for him but instinct takes over. I remember a game where we had an interception in the end zone. CB could have knealt down for a touchback. Instead, he saw some open space and headed out to make a bigger play and a fumble occurred. What was the better move? For us second guessers, like with the Summers INT, it was the move that wasn't made.

Everyone watching knew he should have headed right and scored. Just another example of how/why we should have won the game. Diaco knows we left wins on the field at Mizzou and in Provo. Look for us to bury UCF next week. Who's heading down with me?

I will be there. Heading out of Boston Wed morning.

I wish he would have scored too but it's tough to criticize a player after making a GREAT play to read the QB, get the INT, and run it back some 30 yards. Plays like this get magnified because of our offensive ineptitude but that was a heckuva play by Summers. BYU runs incredible tempo and I can't fault the kid for being gassed at the end of the play. Not getting in the end zone with a short field is more of an indictment on our offense than the CB who just made a terrific play to create a turnover.
