overall it's a pretty good indicator, although there are some anomalies like you mentioned.

I have now re-watched the Texas, Houston, and Boise games in their entirety.

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

I think improved O-line play with help reduce the penalties

Sure, but things like false starts and bad snaps are more mental

Yeah and Texas is top-5 annually and they have stunk.

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

Recruiting class rank has no effect on discipline.

I'd willing guess you put Bronco at Bama and you don't see a huge

Sure but your comment had nothing to do with recruiting classes.

Cool. What's Oregon's SOS?

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

my #1 beef with bronco is that for a coach that preaches "execution" and

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.

southernfriedcougar

8/22/14 5:39pm

Yep, see consecutive games against our rival

Very true.Byu's strengths should absolutely include smart,disciplined, and

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

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

Oregoncoug14

8/23/14 11:39am

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

Mantis Mutu

8/23/14 11:41am

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

Oregoncoug14

8/23/14 11:46am

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

Mantis Mutu

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

8/22/14 4:46pm

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

I think our inability to throw the ball and block up front hurt our red zone
