TheLoneCougar Adrielle?!

We dropped 8 because we were getting pressure, but I don't think it was as much as you are thinking it was.

Also, the interior DL, while maybe still a question mark, is playing better and more disruptive than we have seen in years. They are more responsible right now for statistical success than the vaunted Tyler Batty on the edge.

I still cannot understand the decision: Retzlaff vs. Sugar Bowl winning, athletic QB.

Morning after analysis...

Austin Collie looked really ticked at A rod last night and was throwing truth

Probably. But I have no control over any of that. We won. I'm just going to

Don’t sugarcoat it. It wasn’t good, man.

The game plan worked great until the keystone of our offense got injured

MaxxPower

Nice analysis and very refreshing. I’m shocked at how few on here can enjoy

CougarEat

Sep 7, 7:16am

Its not a binary situation.People can enjoy while also pointing out obvious flaw

Sep 7, 8:12am

Pointing out a strategic feedback? Great!

one can enjoy the W over SMU & still be ticked off & concerned w/QB & Arod

mindzeYe

I think the issue is that this offense is horrific to watch

MaximusMeridius

Sep 7, 10:47am

I think there are a lot more that enjoyed the win. There is just a very vocal

Well stated. Good analysis.

Adrielle

Sep 7, 7:16am

Agreed in pointing out we won by dropping 8 a lot, but the reason we were able to drop 8 was because even our 3 rushers

specsauce

It felt so good seeing us get pressure with 3.

NumbersGuy

Seems like coaching is important and working. So many ignored the late season

NYC and Japan

Sep 7, 10:37am

We didn’t really drop eight

deljdc

Sep 7, 1:32pm

Our LB's were actually cover people and not grass. That also helps

tamasiaina

Sep 7, 3:17pm

Proof that we have at least one known competent coordinator on staff. Would love to see that consistently on both sides

unctoothman

Sep 8, 8:46am

His stats were bad, so that's saying something.

IronPotato

Sep 7, 7:46am

I wouldnt call that a heavy dose of drop 8. It was used situationally only.

LifeLongLakerFan

Sep 7, 7:54am

Agreed, we were constantly getting pressure on the QB with a four man rush.

Mobettah

Sep 7, 7:56am

He had three turnovers. The biggest stat of all

BYU '80

Sep 7, 7:59am

And three more series where we went 3 and out because he kept turfing the ball

Sep 7, 8:25am

Nine three and outs altogether. Just awful

BYU '80

Sep 7, 8:45am

This is correct. One play I would like to understand better. The ball to Marion.

shammy

Sep 7, 9:16am

If it was a go route I thought QBs are taught to throw it between the sideline

JuicyJam

Sep 7, 2:08pm

He had a QBR of 30. That is a pretty good reflection of his performance.

AggieWeekendCougar

Sep 7, 8:03am

Kalani seemed relieved & perturbed after the game…definitely has a chip on his

Listening to KS at half, it felt like Detmer/Tuiaki back in 2016

cajuncoug

Sep 7, 8:13am

Did ARod forget coach after Jaren Hall?

BYU '80

Sep 7, 8:46am

Maybe he forgot to recruit a good QB?

Projectoor

Sep 7, 8:53am

Must be frustrating. He loves BYU and has no idea how to improve the team.

cougsareforreal

Sep 7, 8:54am

That’s not a good quality in our HC, a constant stupor of thought. Not good.

TeeKaa

Sep 7, 10:45am

Airing laundry in public isn't the answer. KS isn't going to do that, thankfully

TheRowdy

Sep 7, 12:39pm

In all honesty, if things were improving game to game no one would care about

cougsareforreal

Sep 7, 3:45pm

He should feel upset at the O, and disrespected. What has he done to earn

Thoughts on your thoughts

We dropped 8 with a different scheme

Mostly good analysis except that our interior D line is incredible right now.

What you cash athleticism I call good coaching. Taking angles and form tackling

cougsareforreal

Shog I love optimism and silver linings.Coaching decisions needs to be here too

We dropped 8 because we were getting pressure, but I don't think it was as much as you are thinking it was.

Sep 7, 9:26am

It's too bad BYU football is such a miserable experience for them.

Sep 7, 10:01am

Give the interior of the DL some credit

What playmaking are you referring to and better than Bohannon? Granted we

gp232

Sep 7, 10:32am

The stage is too big for Arod and Kalani. Still. Requires change.

TeeKaa

Sep 7, 10:51am

I’d be curious to know what remaining games you think BYU will win to make them

Coug98

Sep 7, 10:52am

Wyoming, Baylor, Houston, ASU and probably either Kansas or Kansas State

theonick

Sep 7, 11:33am

We must remember Jake beat out GBo due to too many TOs in spring and fall by GBo

7FootRussian

Sep 7, 11:11am

We talking about practice. Not a game not a game!

Random Take- D Line is a Weakness with no evidence

My feelings as well. Happy with the win. We need our RBs healthy, and JR needs

How does Jay Hill do his job post cardiac incident? The defense looks prepared

Ah…there’s that word, “hopefully”…yes, that’s a winning strategy. Keep doing…

icecougar

Sep 7, 3:25pm

Our OL might be marginally better, but we still can’t run block. Averaged 4.3 yds/carry.

Jake needs to stop forcing passes.

Many comments on here about us doing lots of drop 8. I didn’t see that
