Utah cannot beat BYU on its own merits this year.

Whitt is stirring up something unexpected.

The Y's Insider

11:32am

Triple option

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

oxcoug

Nicely done 🙂

14 years ago, no less...

seacougar

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

BYU Fan

11:40am

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

Das_Countach

2:41pm

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

11:40am

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

1:46pm

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

11:51am

Bernard in the wildcat package

Corn

^^^This^^^

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

12:23pm

Stop that! You’re scaring me.

TunaNoCrust

Voodoo dolls for each member of our team

OldFogey

12:41pm

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.

RealityCheck

Brant Kuithe in the wildcat

icecougar

RE: Brant Kuithe in the wildcat

fattycoug

2:13pm

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

jaba166

2:40pm

Wasn't that the formation that the crazy successful HS coach who'd never punt

LeftOfNormal

7:33pm

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

1:12pm

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

1:20pm

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

Ya that was insane! I still can’t believe they all just laid on the ground

Blue chunks

7:45pm

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

5:14pm

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.

Special teams, trick plays, run game, defensive turnovers

Maybe a linebacker playing running back
