it was the defense that struggled against Virginia, not the offense

what made it harder for the offense was that our defense couldn't get off the field and therefore we didn't get to run anywhere near the same number of plays we normally do. If the D could have gotten some 3 and outs we could have scored into the 50s. From an efficiency standpoint the offense was fine.

What about Blackmon? (Assuming he learns the play)

Or he loosens up and gets ready to play.

I think he's more speed than quickness

Agreed. Not to say that we can't improve, but averaging 5.5 yards per play is

Also, Taysom's PE was 153, which is excellent against a defense like UVa

apparently. The stats support my opinion though

If your offense can stay on the field, your defense won't have to. Look at the

the offense wasn't perfect, so it sucked and we had no answers?

I don't believe so. I've seen wr screens, but not bubble screens.

Someone in the Media asked about bubble screens last week.

And when Anae does call for it and it works

I agree to some degree... BYU currently doesn't have the athleticism

9/23/14 10:44am

the problem with the bubble screen is that D's play us so close to the LOS

It will still work if executed properly. If the box is stacked, those dbs have

Our defense struggled. Our offense did not really struggle.

I'm talking about containing his running threat, and you just proved that. Look

When teams are stacking the box, usually they are keeping 1-2 spies back

darkcoug

9/23/14 10:46am

The problem with Anae's offense right now is TH's ability to find the open

Not really a solution, since a stacked box would mean tighter man coverage

That's funny because that's how Oregon counters it. Oregon will run the zone

You can't stop Mitchell Juergens. You can only hope to contain him.
