Until BYU's pass defense proves otherwise, expect Boise to shred them

While many say BYU running the ball will be the key to the game, I kind of think

If BYU can run the ball, it keeps the BSU O off the filed. BYU just needs to

how efficient are WVU and Toledo at passing, just out of curiosity....

idacoug

10/20/16 3:43pm

Toledo - 2nd, Boise - 8th, WVU - 25th

Indy Coug

10/20/16 3:46pm

So Miss. state, who has the 89th pass efficiency passed well on us, but

idacoug

Mississippi State only completed 7 of their last 20 against us

Indy Coug

10/20/16 3:50pm

they made key passing plays on those plethora of 3rd and 4th and longs.

idacoug

10/20/16 3:51pm

Most of them were in the first half

Indy Coug

10/20/16 3:52pm

Michigan State basically opted not to try throwing on us

Indy Coug

10/20/16 3:52pm

Yeah on reptrospect I'm not sure we win that game if they used a different

They scored 14 in regulation. Yay for them.

How does Boise State stack up against other passing offenses we have faced?

pittsburghcoug

10/20/16 3:44pm

Toledo's QB is #2 in pass efficiency, Boise's is #14...

Coug

10/20/16 3:49pm

Sorry... West Virginia's QB is 25th and Michigan St. is 30th...

Coug

10/20/16 3:52pm

I think Boise took a long hard look at the Toledo game and will try to produce the same results...

Coug

10/20/16 3:46pm

Butch is Back? I heard he was a gametime decision.

idacoug

10/20/16 3:47pm

He played last week... unless something has changed I believe he is playing tonight.

Coug

10/20/16 3:50pm

yesterday reported he suffered a setback and he would be a gametime decision.

idacoug

10/20/16 3:50pm

Craaaaaap! I didn't know that. That sucks\

Coug

10/20/16 3:51pm

He looked pretty iffy limping off the field towards the end of the Miss St game

BYU Fan

10/20/16 3:52pm

why would you play troy. go back and look last week when he played - he was

claw

10/20/16 3:48pm

We just need two picks

GhostOf84

10/20/16 3:48pm

I think we probably need 6 turnovers to win

cougarfann888

10/21/16 9:17pm

you are still picking BYU to win this game. interesting.

idacoug

10/20/16 3:50pm

Could be a fun game like Toledo. Whoever has the ball last wins.

Windward_Coug

10/20/16 3:51pm

Except that Boise's defense is much better than Toledo's defense.

Random Walk

10/20/16 3:55pm

Boise st has given up 19 point per game. Toledo 17 points per game if you -BYU

SolidBlue

10/20/16 6:47pm

Also: Toledo 360 ypg to Boise 371 allowed per game

SolidBlue

10/20/16 6:57pm

It's the lack of a pass rush that will doom us. Any QB who has all day can

Hinta

10/20/16 3:56pm

It's significantly better when Wilcox is not on the field.

Which is fine, if BYU scores touchdowns...

You're forgetting one thing that the BSU passing game struggles with...

RebelScum

10/20/16 4:00pm

This is why this game will be much closer to Toledo than either of the MSU games

TheLoneCougar

10/20/16 4:46pm

Its not just the DB's its the D-line when you have 7-8 seconds to sit back and

Cougz19

10/20/16 4:59pm

Except not every play goes 7 to 8 seconds. The QBs have shredded our DBs

Cookiecoug

10/20/16 5:09pm

If past games are an indication, i think we'll suck at pass D in the first half

Harrison0Yfan

10/20/16 6:05pm

The only reason teams seem to stall on O against us is when they stop passing.

BluebloodOR

10/20/16 6:15pm

Cool. If we keep holding teams to 20 points or so, I'm fine with those numbers.

macaroni

10/20/16 7:12pm

I expect our pass d to make a few more plays and our O to hold the ball longer

jomo

10/20/16 7:14pm

Well, the defense held up its end of the bargain

jomo

10/21/16 9:26pm

How many defensive TDs do you think it will take before they respect the pass D?
