Does BYU's Loss to Kansas Mean the Miracle Run is Over? | CFB Week 13 Big 12 Preview and Picks | ASU

Do you think BYU will make the Big 12 Conference Championship game?

[@qm5776]

No

[@saturdayswarriorbyu]

@@qm5776 Ouch.

[@sbaileyduncan]

I think we can adjust. I think we can recover and play a great game at Arizona State. I think BYU will keep it going. My goggles might have gotten foggy from crying after the loss, but they’ve cleared up, and now all I can see is blue.

[@saturdayswarriorbyu]

That's the spirit! BYU is certainly capable of it. Let's see if they bring it this week.

[@MaryLuCrafts]

No, I can hate Arod. I've been hating him for years. He can call plays, he fails at calling drives. Why on earth are we running it to the short side of the field when we've been stuffed up all night? Why is Jake calling an audible for a QB keeper when we've struggled all night in the red zone?

[@saturdayswarriorbyu]

There are a lot of valid criticisms, especially for ARod. I'm not saying not to point those out. But to lose one game and immediately call for him to be fired is reactionary and unrealistic. ARod has his flaws, but it is on Sitake to correct those. ARod has done a lot to help get the team to 9-0. I've even felt he's shown more ability to adjust this season.

[@MaryLuCrafts]

@saturdayswarriorbyu I appreciate your perspective. I still stand on my "I've been hating for years." We have won this year, often in spite of Arod rather than because of him. Our defense has done enough to cover for his... lack of judgement. I have been complaining about him all season.

[@saturdayswarriorbyu]

@@MaryLuCrafts As long as you're consistent, then I can appreciate that. Like I said, I know he's far from perfect and share much of the angst about him. But unless BYU completely flames out, I cannot see him getting fired after a season like this.

The big question is can Colorado and ASU be contained or will their momentum continue to build… If KU beats Colorado and BYU beats ASU you a VERY different story than Colorado beating KU and ASU beating BYU… The later would make for a very wild Big12 season. After that you’d likely see ASU and Colorado being favorites from the Big12 to go to the playoff.

[@saturdayswarriorbyu]

Absolutely. Colorado losing to KU would be great for BYU, but I'm most worried about BYU just winning at this point.

[@dacokc]

@ yes… unfortunately for BYU, they caught KU while KU was red hot.. unfortunately for them again, ASU has all the momentum in the world as well..

[@saturdayswarriorbyu]

@@dacokc Yeah, not good. All I can hope is that they are overconfident and BYU is hungry.

[@brandonl2555]

The lord had to take his tithe. Now we can win out.

[@saturdayswarriorbyu]

Haha, then I'm just glad it was against Kansas and not Utah.
