POLL: In your opinion, who would be the best Cornerback to cover Arizona's best Wide Receiver / Offensive Weapon, Tetairoa McMillan?

BYUfannonLDS

9:18am

At its most fundamental level, the single biggest difference between computer and human polls

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

3 tix available for AZ. Sec2 Row9 (front row of lower section) across from ROC.

Are people putting too much emphasis on Strength of Record?

Abe Froman

9:14am

Or not enough. That really is what the rankings should be, based on resume

RGGeemer

I'd say not enough!

The #1 thing I hope we see this weekend (aside from a win)

Arizona has shown weakness against the run game, in part why K State

Archaea

It’s hit and miss. Against Utah Arizona did just fine against the run.

Brisket

Because Wilson couldn't pass.

#1 thing I want to see this weekend besides a win

If they played Jennings the whole game against BYU, they might (maybe even probably) win.

Wow the line swung 5 points from where it started. Used to be AZ favored by 1

OU Cougar

8:58am

Arizona losing on Saturday fueled a lot of that

RGGeemer

9:00am

That's why I'm surprised they released a line before that game.

JuicyJam

9:11am

Oh no! Obviously, God has been punishing gamblers so far this season using BYU. Now he'll have to punish via a BYU loss.

Byron McNertney

9:00am

We're 5-0 against the spread this year. We're at home. We're playing a team that just lost at home.

IdahoCoug

9:01am

That's almost within the margin of error. Most estimates are a 3 point margin

We're about to find out.

K State is way ahead of us on computer rankings. Did we find out then?

I don't understand the computer algorithms but I suspect they become more

Agreed. We have a really good fanbase reputation right now. No need to tarnish

Bald Eagle

Just keep Cosmo away from the set

PSA: 5/11 top AP teams lost to unranked teams this weekend. It happens

Cougarclaw

8:43am

It usually happens because the rankings aren’t very accurate early on

Jericho

Except it was Week 6, and it's going to happen in Week 10 also.

The Dark Knight

8:42am

They also have a lock down CB but who do they lock down?

Pretorian

8:49am

Fifita is still a sophomore, although he's been through six games

Archaea

8:49am

He doesn't seem to run for yards either right? Uses legs just to buy time

Covid-19

8:49am

Every defense knows McMillan is the guy that needs to be neutralized. And

BGRTHNUMEGO

8:50am

Could we double him every play? I'm no DC, what would that mean for scheme?

The Dark Knight

9:11am

Robinson vs McMillan matchup will determine this game.

RGGeemer

8:54am

I don’t think so… looks like Robins could get help and they have nobody else…

Pretorian

8:59am

5'10 Robinson aint covering 6'5 McMillan. Bamba will likely match him.

LeonMarek

8:59am

Who will Evan Johnson cover?

Archaea

9:00am

Baylor went after Bamba all day last week....and found some success. McMillan

RGGeemer

9:03am

Will Evan Johnson be back?

Is it odd that BYU is encountering so many dual threat QBs?

Archaea

Fifita is not dual threat

RGGeemer

8:51am

I am seeing that. He is elusive to buy time, but so far you're correct.

This is the key. LJ may be the key to victory.

I’m just glad Jay Hill is our DC. I trust he’ll have a decent plan for Saturday.

rainorsnow

He's the third mobile QB we've played. Robertson picked us apart.

He has a tendency to throw into tight windows that work sometimes

Archaea

I noticed that during the Utah game. I was shocked that he was completing as

ebv

8:33am

The DBs and safeties will need to be on their A games.

Archaea

8:34am

Is he really that mobile? He dances around in the pocket to extend plays but

RGGeemer

8:33am

Not having watched many games of his, I'm not sure. He is able to evade the rush

Archaea

8:34am

So far this year he has 15 carries for 17 yards through 5 games

RGGeemer

8:41am

So bring the pass rush and cover his top receiver well.

Archaea

8:41am

Last year through 11 games he had 31 carries for 2 yards

RGGeemer

8:43am

Probably right. I don't think they rely on him to rush, but he's pretty shifty.

ebv

8:34am

We need to bring pressure

HimmerFredette
