How Is No One Talking About This?

Jack Bouwmeester went absolutely berserk against BYU... he should've won them the game if Utah didn't fold.

[@vibely.7511]

[@drwillblake]

No one is talking about it because the Utah coach and AD are too busy crying that 1 call (right or wrong) stole the game. The punter definitely deserved a highlight reel and callout. Way to go him, and to you for recognizing it.

[@mikealvord55]

Yeah, because you’re right if Utah had scored in the second half we wouldn’t be worrying about this

[@shadowsayer1516]

As a Utah fan I'm embarrassed by the whining of the AD and coach. You reveal your true character when the chips are down and they are being huge babies. Hell they didn't even need points in the second half, just a few more first downs would have won. Or the DB catching that pick right into his hands on the last drive that he dropped. Pathetic. BYU wanted it more and they got it. Good luck to them.

[@LuvErs1]

Yeah……the refs didn’t keep you from scoring just 2 or even 3 points in the second half for the win lol

[@tacticalmattfoley]

Considering the QB was wrapped up and going down before the flag was thrown, they have a legitimate gripe....no referee throws a flag for holding on a running play 50 yards behind the runner.

[@phav1832]

@@tacticalmattfoley When the flag was thrown is irrelevant. After seeing the jersey grabbing, it might take the ref a second to get the flag out. If Utah is grabbing and holding, it takes away the QB's options and he's gonna get sacked. That's the purpose of the rule. Utah got caught. It was a better call than the face mask call against BYU that clearly didn't involve grabbing the face mask.

Nobody is talking about special teams without bringing up the punt return. It really doesnt matter how good the punter is, if the rest of the team cant stop a return.

[@jakedavis8377]

Uh... BYU had a total of ONE punt return yard. Are you talking about the kickoff return for a touchdown? lol

[@lilsammywasapunkrock]

@jakedavis8377 you are right, I mistakenly said punt instead of kick. How silly of me.

[@austinflake3938]

Dang! That really was some incredible punting. With that kind of placement, dude should definitely be scouted.

[@smsouthwick]

Right?! He was dang good! I'm a BYU fan and I started noticing just how good that punter was after his second punt. And the guy just kept doing it every time he kicked the ball. It was frustrating as a BYU fan, but gotta respect that skill. GG Utah!

[@nathanross8409]

As a BYU fan, the field position battle was just killing me this game. Sam Vander Haar did his best but he was constantly punting out of his own end zone, so Utah would get the ball at the 40, punt back to the goal line, then BYU would maybe get a first down, then punt from the end zone again, repeat for an entire half.

[@TSL5]

I do like Jack and he is one of our best players...but the only problem is that he is one of our best players and has to punt a lot...offense isn't giving our team support at all.

[@CharlesDoidge-h6i]

Lots of bad calls that game. The face mask called on BYU against the QB. He was holding his jersey and the reply clearly showed it

[@og5981]

Perfect! Isaac. You the man! Dead on. I totally agree with you. Why is no one talking about the HOF performance of this punter and all other punters in the game at any level. Well done my friend. And thank you. A punter is worth their weight in gold in the points they keep off the board of their opponent. This is a big part of BYU's undefeated success this year, field position. When they had less yards than their opponents this year, they still won. Why? Field position and turnovers. Total yards is a totally deceiving stat. It's irrelevant.

[@sirrobin4394]

The MVP is the scoreboard: BYU 22, Utes 21.

[@cpat7065]

A great punter is worth his weight in gold. It could add 5 to 8 plays to a drive if pinned back far enough. It puts the pressure on the offense to get out of a hole, it also can make it so the other team's putter has some pressure to sail it out. Mad respect for good punters.

[@ehemple]

Why is no one talking about the facemask penalty when the replay showed that BYU didn't touch Utah's quarterback's facemask? That penalty led to a Utah touchdown. However, on the fourth down, when the ref called holding, the replay confirmed that Utah was holding. So, what are the Uts' crying about? BYU won and Utah lost.

[@SecuritiesattorneyHB]

I totally agree with you. They were pinned inside the 10 yard line the whole game. Their punter was incredible.

[@mygtispeeds]

Welcome to the Holy War yall...this is all part of the rivalry. Look back at the last 20 years of games...either blowouts (rare) OR always comes down to the last drive. Kalani got out-coached by his mentor in Kyle Wittingham, but still found a way to win. flag was a flag, BYU still had to go down and score to win. What a GAME.

[@kevinstrong5832]

I'm a Ute season ticket holder and big UTE fan. I've watched this hapless offense for 4 games prior to this one. I KNEW THAT BYU WOULD MARCH DOWN THE FIELD AND SCORE. They did it in the Ok state game or the Kstate game. They have the confidence and talent to do so. This year BYU is way better than the Utes. The were getting huge chunks of yardage on their pass plays and the quarterback was throwing to wide open receivers. I will be surprised if the UTES win one more game this year..sad but true. I wish BYU luck in their quest for a great season. Alabama, Texas, Oregon ,Ohio State, Notre dame, Penn State, Iowa, Ol Miss, Army and others will be more than stout competition for them to reach their goal. I will be rooting for BYU!!!

[@gumshoe2273]

Good analysis. Never thought about that. Utah has always had great special teams.

[@Mountain4487]

He truly was the MVP I was in awe when he pinned us inside the ten on almost every punt. And had the bounce been better one that touchback it would’ve been on the one yard line

[@alanajolley9407]

no the MVP was Will Ferrin

[@Watermelon_Man92]

It's not that it wasn't a good game. But it was a game that Utah should have won. They played the better game. I'm not gonna claim the refs handed BYU the game but it's something that the Utes should have been able to easily avoid. If they would have just called a soft zone on 4th down instead of press coverage, they win; you can't get dinged for defensive holding if everyone is playing back. I was angry, not at the refs, but at my team. Because it was potentially the upset of the week (maybe the year). It would have ended a four game losing streak. It was in their pocket, they were prepared to shake hands, and they managed to somehow f it up.

[@justinjosie5417]

I would agree with you that utah should have won but they did absolutely nothing the second half. Did put a single point on the board. Byu struggled compared to other games but they were consistent the whole game. Kept pecking away and pulled out the win. Byu deserved it

[@Watermelon_Man92]

​@@justinjosie5417: Well, if by "deserve it" you mean they didn't beat themselves, then I suppose that's true. All I'm saying is Utah committed suicide. They controlled the game, they just didn't finish. They actually had like five or six different chances to put that game away and they didn't take advantage of any of them.

[@rdancranston]

The best way to put the game away is to score more points ...even a filed goal would've done this but they couldn't even do that in the 2nd half. In the end BYU played the better game by scoring drives and their defense stopping any further scoring after the half...

[@robmack519]

BYU fan here, and from where I'm sitting, neither side "deserved" that win. Utah looked good in the first half and their Defense deserves their reputation of being elite. That said, both teams played very sloppy football, and committed a bunch of penalties to shoot themselves in the foot at key points. BYU had 9 penalties, Utah had 8! In the 2nd half, Utah got the ball 3 times at midfield and couldn't move the ball 15-20 yards to get into field goal range. I'm just saying, nobody played well last night. Also, if we're talking penalties that shouldn't have been called, look at the facemask call against BYU in the first half. Rose moved his head weird, but if you slow it down, there's no facemask. That went from a 10+ yard sack to a 15 yard penalty and resulted in a touchdown. take that away, and the defensive holding away and BYU loses 3 points, but Utah likely loses 7.

[@Watermelon_Man92]

​@@robmack519: You gave each team a lower grade than I did. As I said before, I'm not putting it on the refs. But Utah beat themselves. They missed their chance. That's a part of life. I'm a USCF chess player, I've messed up a lot of my own games. It happens.

[@DotNibroc]

No one's talking because we lost

[@lunchplateboy]

I mean the very fact that the punter had a highlight tape from one game is the reason why Utah lost the game. I called it at half-time that Whittingham would micro-manage the offense again to shift over to the overly conservative offense that Utah always runs when they have even a slight lead. Utah only wants three things for their offense. A good running back, fast linebackers, and a punter. They don’t care for a good QB or any receivers.

[@localenterprisebroadcastin5971]

Lots of people are talking about this game….rule of thumb, get a dominant lead so a bad call (or a few) won’t ruin the game for you

[@ARIZJOE]

Punting is the least appreciated and understood aspect of football. It really helps your defense, and athletic punters can execute a fake when you need it. A good punter is gold. Coach Whittingham has done an outstanding job through the years obtaining good punters.

When the Seahawks traded up to get Dickerson it was a bit of a head scratcher to most people because what difference does a punter make? Then they saw him play. Are we about to enter a stage where punters are taken higher because a few can really make a difference? Or will the standard become so high that every punter is dropping balls on the five yard line?
