Again, short week
Don't you see how a short week forces you to play that way?
It's not like CCU was the better team that day.

BYU's weakness:

UCF doesn't eat up tons of clock. They are the fastest tempo offense in the nation

That's a good thing for us.

SDSU seems to always have good receivers.

There were some truly amazing catches by SDSU receivers in that game.

Their tight end made a couple of spectacular catches laying out for the ball

Yes, but I think Rex's TD catch one up'ed him. 😃

Not sure if you understand the brilliance of the Tuiaki defense. SDSU did

And we complain about our coaches. Such a simple concept.

His defense banks on the other team making a mistake. If they run enough plays

SDSU's anemic offense with a scrub...maybe. Any decent offense?
HairyCougar

Which is such a moronic concept. More plays = more good plays, too

No, we gave them 3rd downs with the 3 man rush. All day to pass.

BYU's defensive weakness is that when the opposing offense plays mistake free,

Didn’t we have 11 or 12 offensive possessions against CC?
LyleLanley
12/21/20 2:01pm
BYU had 11 possessions. They average 11.5 possessions per game in 2020.
Indy Coug
12/21/20 2:03pm
This is another stupid stat. As soon as you're up 3 TD's you want to shorten
rcbyufan
12/21/20 2:40pm
BYU's offensive impotence was the biggest problem that game. They had plenty of chances and squandered most of them
Indy Coug
12/21/20 3:02pm
Wrong. D getting trucked by the same lame running play was the biggest problem.
shammy
12/21/20 3:12pm
Wrong. The offense was to blame.
LyleLanley
12/21/20 3:53pm
Incorrect. D getting repeatedly blown up on simple run plays was to blame.
shammy
12/21/20 5:07pm
Wrong. The offense squandering possessions was at fault.
LyleLanley

I just want to go on record (again) that I'm not trying to deflect blame from

The O is the reason we lost that game. Number of possessions excuse for the O is false and a red herring:

The offense played bad. They're the reason we lost. But that doesn't mean the D

Thank you for your pity. My neurologist and I are still working on the "two thoughts in the... what was I saying?
mvtoro
12/22/20 3:31pm
False. The D failing to stop CCU’s main run play was the issue.
shammy
12/21/20 8:23pm
D held them to 22 points. Including 3 gifted by the offense on a turnover. Did enough to win. Offense had 11 drives and
mvtoro
12/21/20 8:26pm
22 points against 4 total plays run is the problem. The O choked but the D

12/21/20 8:30pm
True. The D didn’t rescue the offense. But it shouldn’t have had to. Everyone here says our offense is better than our D

Your crusade to make sure everybody is aware of the poor performance of our O

And yet the exact comments I’m responding to are people saying it was the defense that lost the game as opposed to the o

This is clearly false on cougar board. Almost as clear as how well the d played

The reason this is even a discussion is because the O excelled in just about

It wasn't simple
Z-Ute
12/21/20 7:42pm
Some simple adjustments. Stop playing safeties 40yds deep against a QB
shammy
12/21/20 8:21pm
Agreed. The offense played horribly. No doubt about it.

2 desperation drives at the end of halves

Okay so 9 drives 17 points. Interesting

Penalties and dumb play calls killed at least 4 drives of ours

We have had horrible field position all year.

We rank 93rd in average starting field position.

Looks like we have a net field position of 1.2. This puts us at average.

12/21/20 8:44pm
Huh?
ManicBlue

Ah, so the D gives the O 71.9 (#93). For ref: 69.0 (#25), 67.0 (#10).

Check our starting field position against the best 2 defenses we faced this year

These effects are measurable. I need numbers. I gave some, too.

It's not hard to look them up.

That's just a few yards of bend though. See my post here:

The offense started an average of 73.3 yards away vs CCU, versus their season average of 71.9

Huge coaching mistake on our second to last drive to punt the ball with less
ManicBlue
12/21/20 3:29pm
Totally agree
LyleLanley
12/21/20 3:55pm
That had more to do with our running game being non-existent and how they controlled the LOS.
-C9-
12/21/20 6:06pm
Hidden key point: Defense stiffens up near the goal line. I figure that is
mudpupper
12/21/20 2:33pm
its true. You can't have your LBs standing 20 yards deep from the goal line
shammy
12/21/20 5:09pm
In a bend don't break, you stiffen up the further in they get. Normal design.
I'm Dynamite
12/21/20 8:45pm
How about having the DL shift before the snap or switch the D look before snap?
scott715
12/21/20 5:17pm
Same thing with UTSA. Didn't they have a 20 play drive taking 10+ minutes?
oldrugger
12/21/20 5:41pm
Need more from the defense if we’re going to do well next year, but BYU’s loss this year was on the offense:

Why do you need to change the defense??

Because the D doesn't work against competent teams. That's why. We played 2

I worry the offense won't work against great defenses, too. Both will need to
