The new plan was the same as the old one for BYU’s offense, and the result on December 6th was the same as it was on November 8th. The only difference was that this time they started strong and faded as the game went on; in the first game, they were flat from start to finish. Maybe the most telling similarity was the reliance on Bear Bachmeier’s running game. When that was removed from BYU against Texas Tech, the offense looked lost in both games.
That’s the flaw in relying on Bachmeier to run so much.
