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

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

Well, nevermind to that idea.

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

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

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

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?

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

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

I agree 100%!!!

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

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.

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

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

Our defense struggled. Our offense did not really struggle.

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

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

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

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

I think that you're getting screens mixed up

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