BYU Football and Trick Plays with Jake Oldroyd
BYU football has had a great season so far this year. When they went up against one of the hardest teams in their schedule though they started behind. They were down for a little while against Houston. Everyone was kind of nervous, but then we had a chance. Jake Oldroyd walked onto the field and did a trick play, he did an onside kick. Not a person had any clue what he was doing except for the person who was gonna get the ball. BYU recovered it and that is what led the way to BYU defeating Houston. BYU getting that onside kick swung the whole momentum of that game. That was very important for BYU, Jake Oldroyd gives all the credit to the person who got the ball, Talmage Gunther. Jake says without him it would not have been possible. That one play was one of the most vital things in the entire game. Without that extra confidence boost right there who knows what could have happened, but with that BYU was able to get the win over Houston 43 to 26.
There is no doubt that what Jake did was very important in that game. Jake says that is not the only trick he has up his sleeve though. He said that one play was just one of many that he has been working on. He said that he has been working on that play called the chip, 9 since he was in high school. He said he and Talmage Gunther had been working on that play for forever. He said that they had run it so many times. Jake was very happy about that play, but he still says without Talmage that great trick play would not have been possible.
With that play though BYU´s undefeated season is still going. With BYU high in the rankings right now people are very optimistic for the rest of the season. BYU’s next really difficult game is going to be against Boise state. If BYU wins that one they could possibly have an undefeated season this year which would be crazy for the BYU football program. People are very happy with BYU so far this year, but no matter what happens this will still be a legendary season for BYU football. They are set up good for these next few games with Jake Oldroyd playing great and BYU undefeated so far they are still bound to have a great rest of the season.
