I guess? But shows the DL reads and reacts, and doesn't just attack the LOS. Baylor attacks.

The DL doing that also fits with how the second level LBs play as well. Read, react. This D works well vs; spread attack offenses, but struggles more with power teams that go right at you because you are already 2 steps too late.

DL playing off the LOS: Baylor vs BYU

I see a big difference. Their linemen look more "athletic"

LOL, I'm not asking who looks more athletic.

Indy Coug

But Indy, thats what I noticed

Unfortunately this is the "real" difference, but I see very little difference in "off the ball" lining up

That’s cuz Baylor lineman don’t have to wear Don Joy braces

You've been confirming our concerns about Tuiaki all day

Hard to say maybe a half yard difference

Hard to say without seeing the front 7 for both teams

This is a DL question, so the LBs are irrelevant for this thread

Baylor right on black line. BYU back a bit

One team gave up 300 yards rushing and 500 total offensive yards…

Is this their typical alignment?

Tricky

8/23/22 4:57pm

Based on my quick browse of the game, yes

Baylor game was when I realized Nacua is the most talented WR BYU has had

Looks the same to me. The difference is the size discrepancy.

Regardless of the reason, can we all agree we need to do better at stopping the run?

Yes, but the actual reasons for the problem are much clearer when they aren’t obfuscated by made up criticisms. Like the

He really is. Hurts to watch a former BYU commit be so dominant at a position that is BYU’s greatest weakness.

This is just too easy.

our guys look slightly further off the ball than their guys do

icecougar

To me, their DL just looks like bigger dudes than our DL.

Boomcannon

8/23/22 7:36pm

They really do. I mean, they literally appear bigger because the photo is more zoomed, but they look objectively bigger.

Not much, the left D-tackle for Baylor is a little closer but the rest of their

Wow even Jaren Hall, Puka, and Pau'u look bigger than our DL that's soo incredibly crazy

Many times (including this screenshot) our DL plays read & react. Look at

Yeah, our stance looks like an O line getting ready to pass protect
