POLL: In your opinion, who would be the best Cornerback to cover Arizona's best Wide Receiver / Offensive Weapon, Tetairoa Millan?

Look, BYU is going to lose a game(s) this year, BUT

Robinson is my answer. I also want the safety to make him nervous.

At its most fundamental level, the single biggest difference between computer and human polls

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

It just doesn't make sense for college athletics to use previous years, IMO.

RGGeemer

9:19am

The reason they do it is it improves the accuracy of their future predictions. You might emotionally/philosophically

I don't know if they can tweak their models to weight the previous year less as

3 tix available for AZ. Sec2 Row9 (front row of lower section) across from ROC.

9:16am

Are people putting too much emphasis on Strength of Record?

Abe Froman

9:14am

Or not enough. That really is what the rankings should be, based on resume

RGGeemer

9:17am

I'd say not enough!

BYU has been behind their opponent in Net Success Rate in 3 of their games this year

Unless we can figure out how to win without defensive and ST scores

The #1 thing I hope we see this weekend (aside from a win)

The 435 All-American

9:08am

Arizona has shown weakness against the run game, in part why K State

Archaea

9:10am

It’s hit and miss. Against Utah Arizona did just fine against the run.

Brisket

9:12am

Because Wilson couldn't pass.

Archaea

9:12am

#1 thing I want to see this weekend besides a win

Blueto

9:11am

I'm still worried about missing Connor Pay.

ldssdl

9:12am

It is a big loss, but having two weeks to adjust gives me hope

BYU is sitting in 12th in power rankings on ESPN

Archaea

And the Schrutes at #21...

Team Chaos

9:10am

I like that BYU is ahead, barely, of ND.

Archaea

9:11am

Read the section about SMU…

Kuga

9:12am

If they played Jennings the whole game against BYU, they might (maybe even probably) win.

Niiineteeen84

9:14am

Or Hill would have had a game plan to contain him.

Archaea

9:16am

By my count, Jennings on offense scored 15 points on 10 possessions

Still Questing

9:24am

Just being mentioned and being in the spotlight in this way is good for BYU.

I've decided to go to the game on Saturday. What color are we supposed to wear?

I go to ~1 game a year from, out of state. Last year was USU, Baylor the year

ray ray

And your most recent game?

I’m starting to worry about the hype. I do not want us overlooking the current game ahead of us.

OU Cougar

Arizona losing on Saturday fueled a lot of that

RGGeemer

9:00am

That's why I'm surprised they released a line before that game.

JuicyJam

9:11am

Oh no! Obviously, God has been punishing gamblers so far this season using BYU. Now he'll have to punish via a BYU loss.

Byron McNertney

9:00am

We're 5-0 against the spread this year. We're at home. We're playing a team that just lost at home.

IdahoCoug

9:01am

That's almost within the margin of error. Most estimates are a 3 point margin

fulano

I say tough beans on that… if you stop the game you’re out of 3-5 plays

Pretorian

Sit out the set of downs…could be 1 play or 3.

Exactly.. cramps hurt enough to knock a player to the ground in a whimpering bal

Saxa

Yes.

Schrodizzy

Projectoor

Agreed. We have a really good fanbase reputation right now. No need to tarnish

Bald Eagle

Just keep Cosmo away from the set

PSA: 5/11 top AP teams lost to unranked teams this weekend. It happens

Cougarclaw

Except it was Week 6, and it's going to happen in Week 10 also.

Pretorian

Fifita is still a sophomore, although he's been through six games

Archaea

He doesn't seem to run for yards either right? Uses legs just to buy time

Covid-19

8:49am

Every defense knows McMillan is the guy that needs to be neutralized. And

BGRTHNUMEGO

8:50am

Could we double him every play? I'm no DC, what would that mean for scheme?

The Dark Knight

9:11am

Running more Nickel or playing a soft-man coverage with a safety

LeonMarek

9:26am

Robinson vs McMillan matchup will determine this game.

RGGeemer

8:54am

I don’t think so… looks like Robins could get help and they have nobody else…

Pretorian

5'10 Robinson aint covering 6'5 McMillan. Bamba will likely match him.

RGGeemer

8:33am

Not having watched many games of his, I'm not sure. He is able to evade the rush

Archaea

8:34am

So far this year he has 15 carries for 17 yards through 5 games

RGGeemer

8:41am

So bring the pass rush and cover his top receiver well.

Archaea

8:41am

Last year through 11 games he had 31 carries for 2 yards

RGGeemer

8:43am

Probably right. I don't think they rely on him to rush, but he's pretty shifty.
