than physical. Yes, Oregon's recruits are ranked higher, but I don't think that means they are more talented at avoiding mental mistakes.

BYU players should be able to do the small things correctly.

Also, there were a ridiculous amount of offsides penalties on kickoffs. Weird.

Virginia also tends to be at around 25 in recruiting class as well

Recruiting class rank has no effect on discipline.

So far I've counted 5 potential TD's off of the board due to mental mistakes.

It's one thing to lose because the other team was faster, bigger and stronger.

His defenses do. And the O did from 2006-2009.

In relation to the topic of discipline leading to penalties, BYU is rarely good.

Yep, see consecutive games against our rival

Discipline unravels for everyone when you're getting your tail kicked.

Actually BYU beat Texas, Boise, and Houston. Many mistakes were still made.

I don't remember us going down 2+ TDs to any of those guys.

We didn't, which is why your theory of teams unraveling when getting their tails

I never claimed it was the ONLY time teams played undisciplined. Our OL

Exactly. I absolutely blame Heaps, Doman, AND Riley for the 2013 ST play.

I think teams develop identities which for the most part define who they are.

Oregoncoug14

On O, our line play sets the tone. On D, our LBs do.
