In terms of getting stops on 3rd down and pressuring the QB, it's hard to say

that this year's defense is any better than last year's defense. I think they have made some improvement in other areas (turnovers look promising so far at least), but in two of their weakest areas last year, it doesn't look like they have gotten better.

Breakdown (with pics) of a couple of really head-scratching plays by the defense vs. Cal.

People think our d is good. They will get exploited as the season progresses

I think our D is better than last year, at least the small sample size so far,

We have played two bad offenses in AZ and Cal. It will get worse

our defense is good enough. it is not a bronco defense, because few are.

I would say that our defense is good enough that it won't lose games for us.

I have repeatedly said on here that we didn't fire enough coaches last year.

I remember that first play. I don't notice much pre snap, but even I saw

My husband was yelling the exact same thing on that first play. Crazy!

9/11/18 2:59pm

the other issue on the 3rd and 3 is that Cal has loaded their right side

I have been against railing against the d and Tuiaki but someone deserves

Tuiaki’s D can’t get off the field. We don’t have the horses to play vanilla.

If your prediction comes true that game will be first time in Kalani’s tenure

They gave up 21 points, they got off the field plenty. Problem Saturday was the

I was going bezerk on the last play of the game! Get up to the line!

I dislike calling out individual players but Warner should have known better

9/11/18 5:06pm

I also think Pau'u tried to be the hero, rather than trying to string out the QB

cougaman

9/11/18 5:51pm

And by doing so, all he did is get in Takitaki’s way

If only you had time to do this for every play. Awesome work.

Good points

Cal defense scheme v byu defense scheme 75% game outcome

youngbuck

9/11/18 6:42pm

For sure and it is becaue they had a lot more confidence in their secondary

ALC

9/11/18 10:58pm

Bingo! I figured safety misplayed it. No way a paid college coordinator calls

youngbuck

9/11/18 6:29pm

I thought the same. So frustrating. Tuiaki didn't cover #9 all night. Crazy

Coug Dude

9/11/18 6:30pm

On that 3rd & 3, am I crazy or does Cal only have 10 players? We show 11 in the

timpjynx

9/11/18 7:48pm

Ya, you crazy. They have 11. One more in the middle that's tough to see

I remember that first one you mention and wondering why in the world no one was

BluebloodOR

9/11/18 8:26pm

Say what you want, but we didn't lose b/c of the D.

GOR

Just analyzing a couple blown plays. Never said the L was all on the D.

Unibro

9/11/18 10:22pm

Sorry mostly in response to the OP responses. Good breakdown for sure.

GOR

9/11/18 11:26pm

Well, we sure didn't win because of the D. They needed to get stops

bald man

Defense gets beat on alignment a lot.

Nice break down.

You think the D is the problem? Great breakdown, but the O is awful too.

The O is more sickening to me.

I wish we had more posts like this... keep 'em coming!

This is why many of us think the D is far worse than some like to say

jcase16byu

9/12/18 12:09pm

I worry we will see just how bad the D is in 2 of the next 3 games, and they

cougaman

I worry we will truly show how bad the D is against the team after those

jcase16byu

9/12/18 1:14pm

It's a good breakdown but I don't have the same problems with it as you

palangi

9/12/18 1:02pm

Sometimes you have to gamble to get off the field. I don't think we should always be defaulting back to just preventing
