Here is some of our defensive stats. After reviewing these, how many wins does BYU have if we had an "average" defense?

byujacob INSUFFERABLE KNOW IT ALL

1:56am

7 or 8? Average defense + a little above average offense + above average ST

Rhubarb

2:12am

8 maybe.

NYCougz

2:16am

Our D had an awesome year and killed it tonight.

NYCougz

2:24am

We would have the preseason record projected by Vegas. 5 or 6 wins

maYbe

3:26am

Yup, last night our passers went 12/24 with 4 interceptions...and we won by 22

krindorr

3:52am

Defense went 12-1 this year offense 7-6.

idcougarfan

BYU ABSOLUTELY should have been in the playoffs

Bigtimeballer

1:29am

Eh. I'm over it. You should move on too.

byujacob

1:31am

We controlled our own destiny is not a great argument.

NYCougz

1:31am

How else would you describe starting 9-0 and then going 1-3 to end the season?

LOLzzz

1:42am

First of all, we didn't go 1-3. So there's that.

byujacob

1:46am

Every team that didn’t win the conference could say the same thing.

NYCougz

1:55am

So if even if we won out (which was ver possible) you don’t think we would have

Don't say why we lost to KU or those with blinders will throw more tantrums.

88Coug

1:34am

several playoff teams had worse losses, and BYUs other loss was far better

FieroCoug

1:36am

Bias for the two top conferences is going to be there. Only way to change it is

Jstak17

2:33am

BYU was the only ranked team colorado played and all the stars were playing.

FieroCoug

2:34am

Common opponents shows something else imo. However far you want to take that.

Jstak17

2:53am

Nah they lost the play in game against Arizona State. They win that game and they get to play again. 1-3 down the

NYCougz

It’s funny how so many have in their heads that we went 1-3 down the stretch.

Your Royal Blueness

1:57am

Maybe the committee thought we lost 3 games?!?

NYCougz

2:05am

Which should not matter at all. So should we schedule a fcs game late to

NYCougz

2:04am

The problem is the perception of the conference. More than just us. The team

Jstak17

2:36am

No question the big 10 and sec have huge perception advantages.

NYCougz

2:40am

Did you watch Indiana and Tennessee?

slatecoug

4:01am

The CFP committee needs to be using metrics just like they do in BBal

slatecoug

4:04am

The computer metrics said good things about the Big 12.... But not about any particular Big 12 team

krindorr

4:46am

They lost back-to-back play in games to the CCG. That toasted their CFP chances.

idcougarfan

4:43am

Teams I would have liked to see have a crack at the playoffs this year:

Countcougula

1:48am

I like where it’s at. But they should make all teams play one or two out of

Jstak17

2:56am

Good argument for two teams out of the Big Twelvd. Which probably adds Iowa St

Colorado’s mascot was totally foreshadowing their team’s performance.

Definitely an adolescent

Anybody know what the TV viewership was for tonight’s game?

Crowgar All-American

1:27am

It takes a few days for those numbers to be available.

kalifi

1:31am

I’ll bet they know them already. How could they not know?

Crowgar

1:37am

Because they get ratings data from a third party (Nielsen) who compiles the data

Pop tarts spent like $8b today. Got a fun game though.

It’s amazing how much I laughed with people dressed like pop tarts

NYCougz

I’m absolutely buying a box of Pop Tarts this week

The crunchy ones??

What flavor?

TNT

Jake Retzlaff rushing stats compared to other QBs in cfb:

byujacob INSUFFERABLE KNOW IT ALL

12:58am

Good for him. Lots of clutch runs for not being a “dual threat” QB but a pretty well rounded game manager

GoodBetterBestBYU

1:02am

How many BYU QBs have had more rushing TDs in a season?

Japan Coug

1:18am

That’s a good question. Did taysom ever play enough games?

NYCougz

1:25am

If they all return, could be an all time LB core in '25. Fastest ever perhaps

cajuncoug

12:55am

Amazing performances tonight

GoodBetterBestBYU

1:03am

Esera has amazing closing speed as well

RUNBYU1

1:09am

Man with all four of those guys makes you wonder if they shouldn’t do some 3-4 sometimes?

KYU

Anyone know when Swanson leaves for his mission? Here for spring?

BYURider

The sooner the better.

JuicyJam

He leaves at the very end of January

Yes, that’s exactly right.

Does Colorado have a rival? Seemed like Nebraska was a big deal for them.

Next year’s game against them will be huge. They will be out for revenge. Could be the start of a great rivalry between

I think Colorado State is their biggest rival now, and Nebraska is probably #2.

Jake Retzlaff compared to top 100 FBS players with at least 1000 yards passing:

byujacob INSUFFERABLE KNOW IT ALL

12:42am

Hard to not feel like we were one great QB away from conference champ

775coug

12:46am

We were one flukey pooch punt bounce off a DB’s helmet away from the CCG.

Japan Coug

1:30am

Or Jake’s pass before the half…

775coug

1:50am

Or many other plays.

NYCougz

2:02am

You could also say that we were one endzone interception away from the CCG.

byujacob

2:05am

Or a third down stop or an onside recovery…etc etc etc

NYCougz

2:18am

It's like you have a personal grudge. Did Jake give your wife an autograph?

LSUcougar92

12:47am

I'm just posting his stats. Why do you feel like his stats are negative?

byujacob

12:47am

Your stat Cherry-picking is interesting. He seems to live in your head rent free

LSUcougar92

12:48am

What other stats would you like to see?

byujacob

12:49am

How about where he ranks among QBs with 15 games of D1 experience with 11 wins in second season

GoodBetterBestBYU

1:17am

TD’s? YPA?

palangi

1:31am

Updated

byujacob

1:45am

I’m excited for his analysis of every position.

NYCougz

12:57am

He didn’t say anything subjective 😂

775coug

12:48am

Ya think

KYU

1:19am

Of those top 100, only 16 have 11 or more wins. Jake is one of them

bigbossbyu

12:52am

How many of them have a Jay Hill defense?

775coug

1:16am

I’d wager at least half

bigbossbyu

1:18am

Yet they still had that big Menorah in front of the Alamo

calvindyer

12:56am

Now overlay that data with wins and see who drops out? I think you are straining at gnats and ignore so many

GoodBetterBestBYU

1:10am

Remind me your “why” in this exercise? Do you advocate we send Jake to the portal for someone else? Start Bohanan?

GoodBetterBestBYU

One big positive from Retzlaff this year: He’s been a very good read option QB.

DC15

12:41am

Imagine being so bad at defense that you give up 49 points to Colorado

LaVellIfIKnow

I’ve seriously been trying to figure that out for that last several hours.

Hans Olsen coming back to the fold very lucky, the U dumpster fire would be

SwanSong

12:39am

The only thing that’s changed about Hans is your perception of him. He has not changed at all. He was never a Ute homer

KYU

12:40am

He absolutely was a homer

YOHONOMOTO

12:46am

100%.

COUGZ

12:50am

It’s a pretty accurate litmus test of fan intelligence.

KYU

12:51am

Agree with almost all that but he has/had a man crush on Whit.

shimmy

12:47am

He has a crush on good football, and Whittingham has produced some really good football.

KYU

12:50am

It’s Whitt personally. And that’s fine

shimmy

1:00am

I don't think he was a Utah homer, I think he was positive towards Utah to avoid

LSUcougar92

12:41am

He was positive to Utah and negative to BYU consistently.

YOHONOMOTO

12:47am

That’s because Utah had consistently produced good football and BYU had not.

KYU

12:51am

Dude acted like they were Bama when they were losing 4 games to the Plaque12

Not bad either. Closer to great than bad actually

KYU

1:06am

Good game manager to log 11 wins.. played hurt. Good, positive leader. Bet he’ll be better next year.

GoodBetterBestBYU

12:34am

With a mid defense this a .500 team, imo

deliciousmocha

12:36am

nah if the defense was about the same as the offense BYU still wins 8 or 9 games

byujacob

You are staying pretty late after an amazing win and an amazing season

NYCougz

If you think I'm ripping him apart by doing side by side comparisons, what does that tell you about your interpretation

byujacob

I’m asking the question of why you are posting it.

NYCougz

I'm just posting a side by side comparison for discussion. You are the one who thinks it's negative.
