No One of Consequence
He has also consistently picked against us, so he is an idiot

McMurphy said BYU has 3rd worse offense in Big12.

no idea, but if it is, its not our fault our defense and special teams gives us

BYU would get more yards if the end zone didn't keep getting in the way. Seriously though, if using

Jay Hill needs to instruct his players to run backwards when they get a turnover

This is what he's looking at

If you look at scoring offense we are the third best in the big 12

This is what he should be looking at:

Which has BYU @ 25 and “offensive darling” Colorado at #79

For offense we are 60th, they are 83rd

People who simply look at yards to assess offense need some education

Also takes garbage time into account. Much better metric. No coincidence it has ISU first for the Big 12 and us 3rd.

I had thought isu was a defensive team that struggled some on offense

ESPN efficiency has us as 8/16

Doesn't matter. The team's just started putting together long drives, so they'll

100% our running game right now... injuries at RB have not helped here
Coug

We don’t have a running back good enough. Moa is the only back that is decent.

Did we watch the same game last sat? LJ Martin had an amazing game.
karatekid
6:39pm
Yes and Martin is very average. Mia is our best back.

I don't think he watches the same games as any of us. BYU could go 12-0 and he

Really? Based on what?? You can’t take any criticism at all. Martin isn’t
bookofdaniel
8:21pm
No he didn't. You could tell he wasn't 100%. When he is, you can make the argument he's the best back.

BYU is 3rd in the conference in points per game and 1st in the conference in points per play.

Our redzone efficiency is great

We almost always score. It would be nice to have bit higher TD% though
JuicyJam

Our offense overall has been pretty average.
JuicyJam
2:15pm
Yet we drove 99 yards on Saturday
BYU Grounds
2:22pm
Which was awesome. We also had 3 other drives that totaled 2 yards.
JuicyJam
2:26pm
and yet we are 6-0. There are three facets of football, Offense, Defense and Special Teams. BYU is excelling at all 3

The offense has been good. I wouldn't say excelling.

teams don't get first downs every drive, sorry.
Zombre

Against bad defenses you do and this is by far the worst defense we will face the rest of the season.
Coug
2:39pm
You are correct. Other teams of teens never ever struggle on a drive
NYC and Japan

BYU gets at least 10 yards on a drive 64% of the time.

Here are the offensive FEI rankings which are opponent adjusted.

Here are the defensive FEI rankings if you're interested.

I would note that both offense and defense are still being held down by last yr
rcbyufan
4:17pm
I don't believe FEI rankings use last year's metrics at all.
ManicBlue
4:20pm
They do. It drops off thru the year. FEI is one of the best IMO because they

Nothing I've read about how FEI rankings are determined show that they use previous year's stats. I'd be interested to

Maybe it's because we've played the 3rd hardest schedule in the NCAA

Good at reporting, bad at assessing a team

BYU has an offensive efficiency rank of 38 according to ESPN, 8th in B12
Projectoor
2:45pm
BYU's offense can't even take the field when the defense or ST scores.
Brandoblueblood
3:00pm
I'd grade offense by number of points the offense puts up
CoolB
3:20pm
Except even that is misleading when the defense or special teams scores
Brandoblueblood

BYU is currently #72 in total offense. That's mediocre in my book. Must get

Where are we in starting field position?
ManicBlue
3:40pm
Total offense is a stupid metric to rank teams and make any kind of judgement.
cougaman
4:07pm
I agree it's not the best metric. It's looking at total yards gained.
CT98
5:21pm
Total offense is one of the dumbest metrics ever conceived.
rcbyufan

Second to time of possession. Super overrated.
mvtoro
4:20pm
100%. Each team gets the same amount of possessions in a game...
Brandoblueblood
5:15pm
Those numbers are skewed. The O can't score points when D and ST do
Brandoblueblood
5:14pm
Great point and I agree that the metric can be misleading. I'm more concerned
CT98
5:29pm
But AZ got yards with 5 minutes left. Haha.
YbeatsU
5:25pm
Despite what some fans think, BYU was still trying to get first downs at the end
CT98
5:34pm
As long as we could do it without throwing a pass.
thirdgencoug
5:47pm
BYU has spent on average half the game in burn clock mode not score urgency mode
NYC and Japan
3:35pm
I've been critical of the offense and I'll admit they've been better than I
CameronG
3:58pm
In terms of talent, he might be right. In terms of performance & discipline, though? No way are we that bad.
SinkingQuffa
4:05pm
It's fair to criticize BYU's 3rd down conversion rate, but otherwise they have been solid if not stellar.
acadian8
4:07pm
Run O has struggled as well, which is largely to blame for our 3rd down %
Boring
4:32pm
For sure, hopefully now that Martin, Moa, and Rope-a-Tee are back that will improve a lot.
acadian8
5:18pm
Even 3rd down conversions is "off" because BYU goes for it so often on 4th.
Brandoblueblood
5:19pm
I'd like to see fewer 4th down attempts. Not because I'm opposed to going for it on 4th, but because it isn't required.
acadian8
5:28pm
we were not good at the beginning of the year. I’m OK with this because we have

Everyone - BYU has the best Defense in the Big 12 McMurphy, but their offense...

Our O needs to step up and is our weakness. But still, we're 6-0. 🤷♂️

Some offensive drive numbers I have (if my numbers are correct):

Jeff Hansen refers to a stat that's "total available yards"
MaximusMeridius
8:26pm
Here's what I have. Based on the 69 drives I listed above, BYU could have gained 4,612 yards if every drive was a TD.
Spiff
8:29pm
60th. Pretty average
JuicyJam
8:30pm
Went back to my tracker and last year BYU had 10,511 yards available and gained 3,717 (or 35.4%).
Spiff

Interesting. Where'd you get that stat?
