Our defense has played pretty well given the position that the offense

constantly puts them in. They're in the top half of the NCAA when it comes to points allowed per game (mind you, Wisconsin put up 40 and the defense is still allowing 23 ppg). The offense is dead last in points per game.

Efficiency numbers are great but at the end of the day, points are the only thing that matter. The offense can't score and it's costing BYU games.

Patience right now is definitely the right thing - imho , if the team doesn't

There needs to be increased scrutiny on every single coach at this point.

My take: offenses issues are jimmys and joes, defense is scheme/ game plan

youngbuck

I don't know what is more frustrating the defense

Most of us are in the "give the staff time" camp.

RalphWiggam

9/25/17 12:06pm

Likewise the offense was good enough to beat utah

9/25/17 12:35pm

Um...no it wasn't. 13 points wins very few games.

RalphWiggam

9/25/17 12:51pm

Yeah 3xcept we scored another td..the offense did ..a player

9/25/17 1:10pm

Like clockwork.

RalphWiggam

9/25/17 2:27pm

And that isn't the same argument.

RalphWiggam

For this who don't know what good defense looks like when your offense is

9/25/17 1:12pm

I want them to stop lsu on LSU's first two drives

9/25/17 12:59pm

Uh...offense gets more than 38 plays if they get first downs.

RalphWiggam

9/25/17 1:08pm

You underestimate the importance of a defense getting a 3 and out

youngbuck

9/25/17 3:40pm

That still doesn't excuse 10 ppg.

crazY

9/25/17 3:50pm

Nobody says that, but the point some of us is making

youngbuck

9/25/17 4:06pm

If I have given anyone the impression that the defense has been great let me be

RalphWiggam

9/25/17 5:14pm

Not my excuses

youngbuck

9/25/17 7:30pm

I want to see this defense when the offense can string together drives

HuskerCoug

9/25/17 12:07pm

Shouldnt impact the d..but the offense did vs utah.

9/25/17 1:01pm

Maybe in a perfect world but when the other side isn't pulling their weight

HuskerCoug

9/25/17 1:15pm

Watch Clemson vs BC from Saturday..

9/25/17 1:20pm

No one is claiming our D is elite. It is average at best.

RalphWiggam

9/25/17 2:28pm

That's the problem D isn't average at best it's one of the worst in all of cfb

9/25/17 4:21pm

The D kept the team in a lot of games last year and they earned some patience

HuskerCoug

9/25/17 4:31pm

71st ranked passing defense last year. Thanks to turnovers yes..

9/25/17 4:57pm

Our defense is ranked 37th when adjusted for opponent difficulty.

They really haven't played that well though. LSU did whatever they wanted until

cougaman

9/25/17 12:29pm

I agree. That's why I made it relative to the offense.

crazY

9/25/17 12:39pm

Go watch lsu and wiscy first two possessions then. Neither

9/25/17 1:04pm

That doesn't excuse fewer than 10 ppg.

crazY

9/25/17 2:42pm

Nope nor is less than 10 ppg an excuse for 117th ranked Defense.

How are our 1st half defenses? Offense keeps 'em on the field too long IMO.

Revolution

9/25/17 12:46pm

BYU's defense is defending only 1 play per game more than the NCAA average

Indy Coug

9/25/17 12:48pm

You answered your own questions gob watch lsu and wiscy first two posessions..
