McMurphy said BYU has 3rd worse offense in Big12.

claw

1:46pm

no idea, but if it is, its not our fault our defense and special teams gives us

LeonMarek

1:48pm

BYU would get more yards if the end zone didn't keep getting in the way. Seriously though, if using

Jay Hill needs to instruct his players to run backwards when they get a turnover

HandwovenBox

2:20pm

This is what he's looking at

Viva Campeche

1:48pm

If you look at scoring offense we are the third best in the big 12

Viva Campeche

1:49pm

This is what he should be looking at:

BYUMizzou

1:59pm

Which has BYU @ 25 and “offensive darling” Colorado at #79

flyonawall

3:12pm

For offense we are 60th, they are 83rd

Viva Campeche

3:17pm

People who simply look at yards to assess offense need some education

Also takes garbage time into account. Much better metric. No coincidence it has ISU first for the Big 12 and us 3rd.

mvtoro

3:53pm

Doesn't matter. The team's just started putting together long drives, so they'll

BlueFever

1:53pm

100% our running game right now... injuries at RB have not helped here

Coug

BYU is 3rd in the conference in points per game and 1st in the conference in points per play.

kccougar

2:11pm

Our redzone efficiency is great

YOHONOMOTO

3:15pm

We almost always score. It would be nice to have bit higher TD% though

JuicyJam

3:23pm

Our offense overall has been pretty average.

JuicyJam

2:15pm

Yet we drove 99 yards on Saturday

BYU Grounds

2:22pm

Which was awesome. We also had 3 other drives that totaled 2 yards.

JuicyJam

2:26pm

and yet we are 6-0. There are three facets of football, Offense, Defense and Special Teams. BYU is excelling at all 3

BYU Grounds

2:27pm

The offense has been good. I wouldn't say excelling.

JuicyJam

2:41pm

RE: Which was awesome. We also had 3 other drives that totaled 2 yards.

Doogal McCougar

2:30pm

teams don't get first downs every drive, sorry.

Zombre

2:31pm

Against bad defenses you do and this is by far the worst defense we will face the rest of the season.

Coug

NYC and Japan

BYU gets at least 10 yards on a drive 64% of the time.

Here are the offensive FEI rankings which are opponent adjusted.

ManicBlue

2:23pm

Here are the defensive FEI rankings if you're interested.

ManicBlue

2:34pm

I would note that both offense and defense are still being held down by last yr

rcbyufan

4:17pm

I don't believe FEI rankings use last year's metrics at all.

ManicBlue

4:20pm

They do. It drops off thru the year. FEI is one of the best IMO because they

rcbyufan

4:32pm

Nothing I've read about how FEI rankings are determined show that they use previous year's stats. I'd be interested to

ManicBlue

5:05pm

Maybe it's because we've played the 3rd hardest schedule in the NCAA

WDaddy

2:25pm

He has also consistently picked against us, so he is an idiot

2FarGone

2:36pm

Good at reporting, bad at assessing a team

SoBlueitHurts

4:54pm

BYU has an offensive efficiency rank of 38 according to ESPN, 8th in B12

Projectoor

2:45pm

BYU's offense can't even take the field when the defense or ST scores.

Brandoblueblood

3:00pm

I'd grade offense by number of points the offense puts up

CoolB

3:20pm

Except even that is misleading when the defense or special teams scores

Brandoblueblood

5:11pm

BYU is currently #72 in total offense. That's mediocre in my book. Must get

CT98

3:28pm

Where are we in starting field position?

ManicBlue

3:40pm

Total offense is a stupid metric to rank teams and make any kind of judgement.

cougaman

4:07pm

I agree it's not the best metric. It's looking at total yards gained.

CT98

5:21pm

Total offense is one of the dumbest metrics ever conceived.

rcbyufan

4:20pm

Second to time of possession. Super overrated.

mvtoro

4:20pm

100%. Each team gets the same amount of possessions in a game...

Brandoblueblood

5:15pm

Those numbers are skewed. The O can't score points when D and ST do

Brandoblueblood

5:14pm

Great point and I agree that the metric can be misleading. I'm more concerned

CT98

5:29pm

But AZ got yards with 5 minutes left. Haha.

YbeatsU

5:25pm

BYU has spent on average half the game in burn clock mode not score urgency mode

NYC and Japan

3:35pm

I've been critical of the offense and I'll admit they've been better than I

CameronG

3:58pm

In terms of talent, he might be right. In terms of performance & discipline, though? No way are we that bad.

SinkingQuffa

4:05pm

It's fair to criticize BYU's 3rd down conversion rate, but otherwise they have been solid if not stellar.

acadian8

4:07pm

Run O has struggled as well, which is largely to blame for our 3rd down %

Boring

4:32pm

For sure, hopefully now that Martin, Moa, and Rope-a-Tee are back that will improve a lot.

acadian8

5:18pm

Even 3rd down conversions is "off" because BYU goes for it so often on 4th.

Brandoblueblood

5:19pm

I'd like to see fewer 4th down attempts. Not because I'm opposed to going for it on 4th, but because it isn't required.

acadian8

5:28pm

we were not good at the beginning of the year. I’m OK with this because we have

HeyU

4:16pm

Everyone - BYU has the best Defense in the Big 12 McMurphy, but their offense...
