BYU drops to 1-2; Sitake Era Underway

    Late last night the BYU Cougar football team struggled to score, and while playing decent enough defense to win, 5th year senior Taysom Hill was caught multiple times trying to run for positive yardage or making key throws.
   The halftime score for the first home game at Lavell Edwards Stadium was 0-10 to UCLA. Only a very long 50 + yard field goal attempt missing was a legitimate chance at scoring.
   BYU missed two players from previous week ejections for the first half, both defense secondary, and their returns in the second half overall kept UCLA to one more touchdown but the gifted Bruin quarterback Josh Rosen extended way too many third down passes, unlike what Taysom was unable to do.
    Tough loss. A few more offensive scores would have mad the difference, but it was too little, too late.
   My boys and I will see the next game against West Virginia in Maryland this coming Saturday. Let's hope the defense stays consistent and the offense gets untracked.
    Coach Sitake may still have a good first year, just a slower start than hoped.
   Also of note, former Heisman winner Ty Detmer at offensive coordinator is a first time college coach, only three games in.
