The Cougars had another tough loss last week to the in-state Aggies. Ben Criddle continues to mull over game film so you don’t have to become even more depressed than you already are as a BYU football fan right now.

Nice athletic move by Jonah to hop over would be tackler here.Unga w/ illegal block which IMO is questionable from this angle. #BCF pic.twitter.com/UmEr3ms6nq

Every young QB has to learn this difficult lesson, throw ball away to avoid contact. Beau Hoge ends up with a right foot/ankle injury #BCF pic.twitter.com/4xBT1SEYDF

Here's a closer look at the Beau Hoge right ankle/foot injury. Never a good thing to have a DT/DE fall on your plantar flexed ankle #BCF pic.twitter.com/xPan7ty1um

Another look and the club and swim move from Corbin Kaufusi. In 2017 27 TKL, 2.5 TFL, 2 SCK, 1FF, 2 QBU, 1PBU, 1 BLKD #BCF pic.twitter.com/pv7QNSt1ge

Dayan Ghanwoloku's PBU, technically could be called a PI, but it's a (Bang Bang) play that can go either way. IMO fantastic PBU. #BCF pic.twitter.com/uYg8fdnDvN
