I agree with your position Carl, but we have to assume D knew how much of a stud this kid was going into the game because we certainly talked about it here that's for sure! He was a "man among boys" in that game! Maybe we just didn't have the talent or ability to focus specifically of his duel threat capabilities.... Who knows?
Correct, I wasn't in any of the meeting rooms and I don't have direct knowledge of the BYU defensive game plan. Here's the thing though, I was at the game, and from our vantage my friends and I agreed that if we did have the idea that somebody should be spying the QB incorporated into the game plan, they weren't doing a good job of going about getting it done, that's for damn sure.
It's all in the past now anyway. It's very clear that Diaco approached last season as a transition season, and my hindsight 20/20 tells me that the loss of Casey Cochran in game 1, quickly turned it into a complete tear down and rebuild.
Let's just go out and kick the crap out of Villanova. Can we? It bothers me that this game makes me so nervous.
