I forget who it was, Anae essentially said if you use them all the time they don't work. That being said I don't recall seeing any this season, perhaps it is the ace in the hole.

The solution to counter box stacking and TH containment

What about Blackmon? (Assuming he learns the play)

Or he loosens up and gets ready to play.

9/23/14 10:22am

I think he's more speed than quickness

chazen

Did it in 3Q 10:00; 1 yd gain

Well, nevermind to that idea.

newey-west

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

BlueK

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

BlueK

9/23/14 10:29am

Our offense didn't struggle? We were watching two different games

chazen

9/23/14 10:30am

apparently. The stats support my opinion though

BlueK

9/23/14 10:32am

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

9/23/14 10:37am

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

Dude! 41 points! End of discussion!! We scored 41 points! Sure there are things

Offense scored 34 points

Read my post. If not for Taysom's legs, our offense has struggled. I would say

I agree 100%!!!

9/24/14 5:38pm

all I'm seeing is a team that can drive 70+ yards and score

OTOH, if your defense can't get off the field, it is tough for the offense

Our offense didn't struggle against VA. It wasn't the offense that couldn't

I believe we have attempted the bubble screen a handful of times this year

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

And when Anae does call for it and it works

Signed WSU and Oregon

chazen

9/23/14 10:33am

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

coug almighty

9/23/14 10:44am

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

kotacoug

9/23/14 10:31am

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

chazen

9/23/14 10:35am

Our defense struggled. Our offense did not really struggle.

BYU81

9/23/14 10:34am

Agreed! We score 41 points in less than 20 minutes of possession! That was good!

Bensoncoug

Wait....

Uh?? defenses are getting smarter an containing TH?Really? what D has contained

Bensoncoug

9/23/14 10:37am

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

you mean how he is averaging over 106 yards rushing per game? That is a better

Virginia is the best front 7 we play all year.

How about the fact that he played against the best athletes we have played

nhatch82

9/23/14 12:00pm

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

dultso

9/23/14 11:45am

Our offense scored 33 points in 20 minutes of TOP against a very good Virginia D

cougycoug

9/23/14 11:46am

34 points actually

AFcoug7

They really struggled...

byu_coug

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

Seattle does a version with

yeah, so bubble screens aren'ta counter to box stacking and containment

9/23/14 1:53pm

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

chazen

9/24/14 4:03pm

I think that you're getting screens mixed up

CHILLAX -- we just played two athletic/good D's -- we'll be fine

Jomo

Offense scored 34 on a pretty good defense. No need for panic.

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