Expect BYU to play more 4-2-5 against Arizona. That is the transition for spread teams.

Remove a LBer, and play a safety in a similar position, but adds more speed. Utah has been doing this as well against spread teams. TCU does this as a base defense. So it is pretty common now.

Don't expect to see BYU in a base 4-3 too often against Arizona.

LOL

You have to admit that sounded exactly as a Utah fan

lalochile

8/29/16 8:36am

Could actually be a low scoring game if Ty decides to pound it down their throat

Would be awesome to do that, then completely change the gameplan and go with a

Isn't this what Bronco would have done?

hms_ben

8/29/16 2:34pm

was it sitake's defense or Whit's defense?

smokymountainrain

8/29/16 7:55am

whit's. but sitake is installing whit's defense at byu now.

8/29/16 7:58am

really? has he said he's installing whit's defense at BYU?

smokymountainrain

8/29/16 8:00am

I think that's the general consensus.

8/29/16 8:03am

so a bunch of fans think that. thanks, that answers the question.

smokymountainrain

8/29/16 8:05am

well its certainly what I think. and i think there is plenty of evidence to

8/29/16 8:06am

lol. what kind of evidence?

smokymountainrain

8/29/16 8:07am

what the players and coaches have said. are you really arguing that?

8/29/16 8:10am

so the evidence is that they are going to a 4-3 and playing more man to man.

"multiplicity of fronts"

Not in those words but if you look at why types of defenses the 2 run, you'll

Unpossible about the LB. Utah has P5 depth!

Well, when some of us wanted Sitake to replace Bronco, it was Sitake's

Walter Bellhaven

8/29/16 10:22am

Arizona scoring a lot of points was more the fault of whitts offense

8/29/16 7:57am

Pts allowed: 2011 - 21, 2012 - 34, 2013 - 35, 2014 - 42

I don't include Oregon State because I think that's too apples/oranges

Indy Coug

8/29/16 8:04am

He coached the worst defense in the p5 last year

Josef K

8/29/16 8:17am

and that has what to do with BYU's defense?

smokymountainrain

8/29/16 8:18am

The same coach?

so the question is, is it the HC or the DC that is to blame/give credit to for a

Arizona averaged over 35 ppg during that span

Utah had a HORRIBLE offense. BYU will grind it out and not give Zona

jomo

8/29/16 8:14am

meh, Taysom doesn't grind things out. he makes plays. i expect long

smokymountainrain

8/29/16 8:17am

I hope Taysom is far more patient and finds his options this year...

jomo

8/29/16 8:24am

not me. i hope he runs or throws for an 80 yard TD every time he touches it.

8/29/16 8:27am

I don't understand the "keep the ball out of the other teams hands. Isn't it

If we can agree than we won't score on every possession then yes, TOP is

jomo

8/29/16 10:04am

So in a nut shell, your point is that our defense could do a decent job

What everyone is kinda leaving out of the discussion is what Lamb bring to the

8/29/16 8:33am

Good point

jomo

8/29/16 8:55am

Tuiaki says they'll have a "multiplicity of fronts". Probably see 4-3 & 3-4.

This is my fear as well

lalochile

8/29/16 8:35am

Interesting you say that because don't the frUtes credit the defense to KWitt

colocouga

8/29/16 8:51am

Yep, too bad we couldn't borrow Bronco's 3-4 for one game. It was built to stop

darkcoug

8/29/16 9:21am

I was thinking the same thing... BUT JUST FOR THIS ONE GAME

8/29/16 9:27am

You may be thinking something different later

We're facing better competition this year... I'll evaluate on a game-by-game

Expect BYU to play more 4-2-5 against Arizona. That is the transition for spread teams.

I hope it works!!

Sitake's record vs Arizona is 0-0
