MissouriCoug18 Starter

9:52am

Just skimmed video game trailers on YouTube. I’m not a Fortnite hater, but…

Kdubb

9:51am

Utah plays at Laramie next year, are they throwing oil money at these teams

RC Vikings

9:47am

We are 117th in the nation in 3rd down conversion. The 16 teams below us are

OU Cougar

9:47am

And against 3 not so good teams.

WJCougar

9:48am

3rd down conversion is less important if you are willing to go for it on 4th.

NWCoug

9:49am

I think fans are hoping you dont have to make the decision to go on 4th

WJCougar

9:51am

Conversion Opp % means more than 3rd down conv

molodyets

9:51am

I always say, you don't really know much about a CFB team until week 3-4. This

Stucoug83

9:44am

This defense looks so much bigger and faster than many defenses from the past.

Don Carlton

9:46am

The nice thing about this season is that there is a solid 2-deep across defense.

HiLife

9:49am

BYU's win projection continues to creep up

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

9:40am

Still only favored in 2 remaining games. Feels so similar to last year.

Haysom Till

9:41am

7 of our remaining 9 games project as single score Vegas spreads

Indy Coug

9:43am

It will be a continual uphill battle the rest of the season to hit bowl eligibility but we can do it, esp if LJ can

Haysom Till

9:47am

So UCF is the remaining team we’re least likely to beat? And it was SMU before we played them?

hamaca

9:43am

UCF got lucky last night. TCU wilted.

WJCougar

9:49am

Is the defense for real?

freeedomguy

9:31am

We'll know more next week

byujacob

9:33am

Still TBD. We will know more in a week.

WillsPitStop

9:33am

Count the sacks. Compare to against bad teams last year. Definitely a much

Plato

9:34am

It's for real... but prepare to see it get seriously tested. Beginning this week

Blueto

9:34am

Is SMU that bad? They’re 2-1 and SP+ has them ranked #38, 15 spots ahead of BYU.

Japan Coug

9:35am

Wins against very, very bad teams. No TD vs us. They are not good.

Plato

9:36am

SMU is actually a pretty good team and that’s where our defense shined. Yes-

Jomilo21

9:37am

Haven't really been tested through the air

Projectoor

9:39am

We should have a pretty good idea by December.

Sparkling Delirium

9:41am

With eye test, much more depth and significantly more assignment sound. D-Line

oryguncoug

9:41am

I think every position is better than last year on defense

LeonMarek

9:49am

Announcer last night really keyed in on the third down stats.

byujacob INSUFFERABLE KNOW IT ALL

9:31am

Yep...against SMU it was too many 3 and out possessions.

WJCougar

9:32am

I was mostly happy about the final score stat.

Ted Lasso

9:32am

Me too. It's great to be 3-0. I'm thrilled but still very concerned.

byujacob

9:33am

This is a big concern with A-Rod. 3rd down conversion rate is a crucial stat.

Yucatan

9:33am

BYU got a first down on 5 of the 11 times they reached third down. They only punted 4 times

Indy Coug

9:33am

So while the 3rd Down play failed to convert, in at least 3 cases it at least set up a manageable 4th down

Spiff

9:38am

Last year we converted 28% of third downs and 50% of 4th. So far this year it's 28% on third and 80% on 4th.

byujacob

9:47am

Coaches don't care about 3rd down. In the least.

foofcoug

9:35am

RE: Coaches don't care about 3rd down. In the least.

foofcoug

9:36am

That’s crazy

deliciousmocha

9:43am

By my count, they got 20 first downs. So it’s not like they had that much

SoCalCoug

9:48am

Should have followed with, what about 3rd down on our side of the field?

oryguncoug

9:48am

Well, last year it was 0 against Oklahoma State, 1 against Oklahoma, 2 against

SoCalCoug

9:43am

In our topsy-turvy world, it's good to know there are some constants

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

9:29am

Time to shuffle RB rotations…

Coug76 All-American

9:25am

Loved watching Moa drag guys after initial contact

Projectoor

9:30am

Reminds me of H Unga….

BYU4eVeR

9:35am

Davis should be a 3rd down back.

HiLife

9:43am

Seems like Huanga is getting lots of love but not Moa. What am I missing?

byujacob INSUFFERABLE KNOW IT ALL

9:24am

ypc

Plantagenet

9:26am

Although Moa looked good breaking down tackles and had a TD called back.

TempeCoug

9:29am

Moa's a good power back (as is Nawahine). But he's not special in terms of his skill. Not like Haunga, anyway.

SinkingQuffa

9:35am

ESPN SP+: BYU 53rd. Offense 50th, Defense 50th, Special Teams 46th

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

9:23am

Wait, I'd've assumed overall grade would mathematically need to be some average

LeftOfNormal

9:28am

Those aren’t ratings, they are rankings.

StantonMac

9:34am

I’m guessing this is an example of Simpson’s Paradox

zuko

9:35am

So our awful offense led by a terrible QB is in the same place as our

StantonMac

9:35am

It’s almost as if… neither our offense or QB are terrible?!

Jomilo21

9:39am

We will never be ranked in the top offense…

BYU4eVeR

9:39am

This UCF video gave me a siezure.

momowagon

9:21am

I want to see more Haunga at RB next week. He could be a what the team needs.

SausageKing

9:19am

He will be a lot of help.

Plantagenet

9:27am

Reality is after 3 games BYU and Utah are about the same.

WJCougar

9:19am

I hate to say this but...

Adrielle

9:22am

That deep Utah team withered against Baylor in the 2nd half.

WJCougar

9:24am

It's much more likely we'll need to beat Rising in Salt Lake.

Plantagenet

9:28am

Unfortunately the eyeball test for both offenses (when utah had rising in) is different.

Crazy Joe Davola

9:23am

Against SUU most QBs will look good.

WJCougar

9:24am

I hate Utah as much as anyone. But with a healthy Rising, we are not the same.

PING Man

9:24am

Against Baylor in the first half one TD was from a blocked FG....

WJCougar

9:25am

Good point.

Japan Coug

9:27am

Take off the blue goggles and try to be objective

PING Man

9:28am

I guess you are basing their greatness on past seasons?

WJCougar

9:30am

These people that go out of their way to defend the Utes on a BYU message board

YbeatsU

9:35am

Rising is the difference. Also Whittingham > Kalani.

WillsPitStop

9:37am

Probably pretty even when Rising isn't playing

Projectoor

9:44am

They scored 38 against USU yesterday without Rising.

WJCougar

Wake Forest cancels return game with ole miss after getting smacked. Not a good

spidercoug

They learned from Tennessee.

Japan Coug

9:11am

On the bright side, we need a P4 non-conference game next year, don’t we?

Japan Coug

9:12am

Not anymore. Playing Stanford

spidercoug

9:12am

Oh, I missed that. Thanks. Is it a one-game deal? I don’t see a return game at

Japan Coug

9:13am

We already played at Stanford. This is the return game.

TempeCoug

They owed us a game in Provo...but it was scheduled for like 2030...

BYU is beating the spread by about two TDs this year

I’m surprised it isn’t more than 7.5

CB is concerned about the turnovers and inefficient passes.

WJCougar

8:57am

I like it! 💪

Borg

9:00am

He’s had 2 good games against 2 really bad teams. Until he starts doing better

cougaman

9:02am

He also has no running game to back him up... scratch that, he is also the running game

darkcoug

9:14am

That’s no excuse for the inaccurate throws and poor decisions though.

cougaman

9:18am

It kindof is related though. Without running game, defense keys on passing

runnincoug

9:22am

And it also gets smaller against better teams even if you have a good run game.

cougaman

9:24am

We'll see. There aren't many QBs that aren't throwing occassional bad passes

darkcoug

9:22am

You have had like 2 good posts out of 70,000 and no one is sitting you down

travelcoug

Hans Olsen is onboard. Praised him last night.

Carnac

Probably the best time to hop on. I hope he plays well next week.

By the way, I still expect BYU to lose this week.

Not true. I listened to many expect a close game. Corso picked WYO as superdog

Corso is about as coherent as Biden…

Like clockwork. Win or lose - CB will always whine about the refs.

At least two of the holding calls were very questionable. When you have the

Not too shabby Jake!

He has the upside. If he just limits mistakes, he will be a fine qb

Retzlaff is NOT Accurate enough to be a D1 QB. GB hit receivers in stride.

Hold the comparison...GB had just 3 passes

Wrong his throw on the run was one of the better throws all year by BYU.

If Retzlaff gets hurt we will put him in.
