BYU's weakness:

Hawk Talons

12/21/20 1:38pm

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

Indy Coug

12/21/20 1:40pm

That's a good thing for us.

This made me laugh out loud.

Honestly, I feel like SDSU got several very lucky 3rd down conversions where the

SDSU seems to always have good receivers.

Hawk Talons

12/21/20 1:47pm

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

BYUtka

12/21/20 1:52pm

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

BlueBlitzkrieg

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

If anything BYU got lucky

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

Unless they don't...

cougaman

12/21/20 4:37pm

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

HairyCougar

12/21/20 4:40pm

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

While this is true

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

Feels like BYU defense is destined to give up unlikely 3rd down conversions

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

ldssdl

12/21/20 1:54pm

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

12/21/20 5:13pm

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

rcbyufan

12/21/20 5:24pm

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

mvtoro

12/21/20 8:24pm

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

rcbyufan

12/21/20 8:39pm

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

Ash

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

mvtoro

12/21/20 8:40pm

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

rcbyufan

12/21/20 8:47pm

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

mvtoro

12/21/20 9:15pm

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

I'm Dynamite

12/27/20 5:00am

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

Ash

12/21/20 8:51pm

Our defense played better against CCU than the O. "Not debatable." The fact that the Offense, as you said, has usually

mvtoro

12/22/20 3:29pm

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.

rcbyufan

12/21/20 3:22pm

Again, short week

Z-Ute

12/21/20 3:42pm

I don't know how anyone could watch that game and not think they were the

rcbyufan

12/21/20 3:45pm

No question BYU could beat CCU

Z-Ute

12/21/20 7:34pm

Watching the Utah game on Saturday brought this home. Their D locked up

Ash

12/21/20 4:16pm

Only because of short notice

Z-Ute

12/21/20 3:39pm

2 desperation drives at the end of halves

HairyCougar

12/21/20 2:03pm

Okay so 9 drives 17 points. Interesting

LyleLanley

12/21/20 2:07pm

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

bad84cougar

12/21/20 4:34pm

Their guys slip at the one and Tuiaki is a brilliant DC. Our guys commit a

HairyCougar

12/21/20 4:38pm

BYU averaged less than 2 points per drive for their other 9 drives. That ain't getting it done against anyone

12/21/20 5:57pm

We have had horrible field position all year.

LyleLanley

12/21/20 2:07pm

We rank 93rd in average starting field position.

Indy Coug

RE: Link?

ManicBlue

12/21/20 3:12pm

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

I'm Dynamite

12/21/20 8:44pm

Huh?

ManicBlue

12/22/20 2:45am

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

I'm Dynamite

12/22/20 10:26am

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

ManicBlue

12/22/20 11:46am

I mean, I appreciate it for measurable effects. I am frustrated watching it.

RE: I mean, I appreciate it for measurable effects. I am frustrated watching it.

ManicBlue

12/22/20 12:02pm

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

I'm Dynamite

12/22/20 12:06pm

It's not hard to look them up.

ManicBlue

12/22/20 12:36pm

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

I didn't. Got a link?

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

I think Allgeier got hurt in the 2nd half, too.

Corn Pop

Agreed

Indy Coug

12/21/20 2:34pm

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?

The problem is until this season our offense

Ash

12/22/20 7:53am

Why do you need to change the defense??

niqmadu

12/22/20 9:47am

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

Ash

12/22/20 10:42am

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

don't worry, as long as we can throw water in one corner of the field and let it
