Bernard is good, but not a bruiser- Dont think he can handle more than 15-20 car

-ries per game. BYU also has 5-6 really good linebackers they sub in and out that will stay fresh all game and weigh 235-255lbs. Bernard will either get injured or just run out of gas by the late 3rd and 4th quarter with how hard he runs.

Whitt is stirring up something unexpected.

The Y's Insider

Triple option

Just got response on a FOIA request for recent U of U hires. Surprising name:

Nicely done 🙂

They are going to go over every single run of 5+ yards against us this year and emulate that in their scheme

darkcoug

11:35am

This is my expectation - ground and pound and hope their defense can win it

Glasker and Batty need to make him pay early and often

dingus79

3:33pm

Bernard has had several games this year with 20+ carries

krindorr

5:24pm

UCF had the most success when their RB bounced outside

Kajdin

11:41am

Yep, but those runs started between the tackles

darkcoug

11:45am

Perhaps, because essentially all runs start b/t the tackles, but if there is one

I sure hope our coaches are doing the same thing.

WDaddy

I'm way more confident that ARod will dial up something interesting

fattycoug

11:43am

What evidence would you suggest that a Whitt team can do anything wild re:

fattycoug

11:42am

No evidence. I just know they are desperate enough to fire an OC mid year.

The Y's Insider

11:44am

They have been making desperate moves this year with poor results.

fattycoug

12:01pm

I think Andy Bernard is still healthy. Maybe something there.

shokupanmanbo

11:45am

The easiest thing he could fix that would deliver the best results is the o-line. They have been pretty bad

P-Boy Squad

11:43am

Surprisingly, Utah's offensive line grades at the top of the conference on PFF.

runnincoug

11:51am

That is surprising, the games I've seen Wilson was getting pressured constantly.

acadian8

12:11pm

Maybe so, I would have to dig into that because I agree. It's strange

runnincoug

12:14pm

Wilson is slow to release the ball. I think the O-line holds, but QB delays

NYC and Japan

12:20pm

It's not even that it's slower pressure. It's that teams blitz more because they know he can't punish them for it

krindorr

5:43pm

It's a Wilson issue and not having the knowledge to get to his hot routes (at least not yet)

krindorr

5:41pm

Could be a QB thing. Rogers fixed the Jets OL issues (they grade out well now).

Boring

2:23pm

Utahs defense is always about this good. This is no difference than any other year...except for that their offense is

Preppy

11:43am

This: take care of the ball and we win. Could get interesting if they can run

ballen

11:48am

yeah, take care of the ball and be adequate in stopping the run...

icecougar

1:00pm

And....headsets

JupiterJones

They are going to pound the rock.

byusage

11:46am

I hate that there's a bye week before this game.

BlueFever

11:47am

They will tap into our helmet communications and coms just like UTEP

indocoug

Bernard in the wildcat package

MoodyBlueCoug

2:27pm

That is kinda what I’m thinking, too.

The Y's Insider

3:27pm

They've hired AOC because she knows how to run a mean pick 6 (per Tim Walz)

Trent

11:54am

You give the Utah offense too much credit

Virginia Ute

12:01pm

I think he gives the Ute defense too much credit also.

acadian8

12:14pm

Utah will need at least 3 turnovers and holding BYU to the defenses season averages to win, at least.

Virginia Ute

1:21pm

Assuming this is another low scoring game, a few plays could be critical

BYU Fan

1:30pm

Exact opposite.

The Y's Insider

12:26pm

If there was something they could do to fix those issues, they would have

momowagon

Stop that! You’re scaring me.

We on the other hand will show all our cards.

Happy As Larry

12:42pm

They have an excellent running back. Their offense will scheme around him, I am sure.

Brant Kuithe in the wildcat

Kuithe and Bernard in a co-wildcat V formation, then optioning to each other. JK

jaba166

2:40pm

They basically only have 2 real options at QB right? Neither is a real dual

MaximusMeridius

1:09pm

Prepare for the mean Pick 6

calbearcoug

KWitt loves on-side kicks at unexpected points of the game.

GMGlenn

1:15pm

Could you imagine being Kwhit and seeing the school he's worked so hard to keep

Cheap Seats

What team pulled the trick play where the running back tossed the ball back to

CT98

1:30pm

Oklahoma State

BYU Fan

1:31pm

I loved that play design and want BYU to add it to the playbook. The play

CT98

1:33pm

BYU has that in the playbook. Ran it multiple times with J Hall

fattycoug

2:14pm

At home vs Baylor was the first I remember it being run. Dude tried to take out our lineman’s legs which is a penalty

touchdownbyu

2:30pm

Which Offensive Coordinator is whipping up this scheme?

Doogal McCougar

1:34pm

They will punt on first down every time they get the ball.

cougar4life55

1:40pm

That's one way to minimize TO's

jaba166

2:42pm

Same as Coastal strategy. Keep possessions low. Don't pass if possible

Bobmarleyjr

RE: Same as Coastal strategy. Keep possessions low. Don't pass if possible

gymrat

2:14pm

Does that include Pile-driving our QB to the ground multiple times on the same

jaba166

2:47pm

Probably part of the game plan

Bobmarleyjr

4:26pm

At least the can't rely on PAC12 refs to execute the key part of that plan!

jaba166

Good old Warlock Whitt

Knight-who-says-ni

2:43pm

They had two weeks to plan for TCU and scored 7 points at home.

rivercitycoug

2:45pm

It was ASU they had two weeks to prep for.

BackPacker

2:47pm

I'm confident BYU wins if Utah only scores 19

fattycoug

2:50pm

Agreed...I think Utah finds a way to score in the teens. Their D is good enough

BackPacker

2:59pm

This is Whitt's deal with the devil game

Burton162

You are paranoid.

The only way BYU loses is if BYU collapses…

First-n-10

Special teams, trick plays, run game, defensive turnovers

Maybe a linebacker playing running back
