Do you usually make arguments using old data?

I feel like there are 12 games this season that would be more relevant. But that could be just me.

25 games IS a big enough sample size to tell you offensive coaching changes have

33 ppg over the last 10 games of 2016. Do your research before you post.

You need to stop acting like Ty isn’t a problem also. It’s obvious he is.

The Dude Abides

11/19/17 8:57am

33 ppg puts us in the top 35 last year.

Phcole

You're cherry-picking your stats

Ulysses14

11/19/17 9:12am

Not really. You just don't like that they prove the narrative wrong.

Phcole

11/19/17 9:31am

Does your research show we are actually good on offense?

The argument made by the OP is that last year we sucked too. It's simply untrue.

Phcole

11/19/17 9:11am

We didn't totally suck, but at times we were pretty sucky.

BluesBrother

11/19/17 9:13am

Agreed. Particularly when we didn't have an NFL running back in the game.

Phcole

11/19/17 9:32am

Relook at your stats

macaroni

11/19/17 9:56am

Overall fpi = 67. That does not suck. That's barely below byu average.

Phcole

11/19/17 10:08am

Points scored in regulation is all I care about. They sucked. Outside of Toledo and WVU, they were bad.

macaroni

11/19/17 10:35am

Then our offense has sucked often in the last 7 years.

Phcole

11/19/17 10:45am

Not like this. This is literally the worst offense in almost 50 years. Period.

macaroni

11/19/17 12:59pm

Yes. Agree, this offense is bad. Last year, not so much.

Phcole

11/19/17 1:00pm

You may want to relook at your stats. The offense doesn’t get credit for defensive TDs, nor do they get credit for OT.

macaroni

11/19/17 9:56am

Take out defensive scores then see what our point total is per game.

budYu

11/19/17 10:00am

Ok, let me know when you've done that to the other top 50 ppg teams and I'll

Phcole

11/19/17 10:39am

Our D scored a lot more last year than normal. We were one of the better teams

budYu

11/19/17 1:25pm

So you're saying it's a talent issue?

Phcole

11/19/17 1:42pm

Mostly coaching but there was a talent drop off. Two decent QBs dropped

budYu

11/19/17 1:44pm

Hmmmmmmmm.... Remind me who the receivers were in 2015 vs 2016?

Phcole

11/19/17 1:49pm

Lets break down those 2016 games shall we

Lol not sure you proved what you think you proved there. Do you believe other

Phcole

11/19/17 10:36am

I dont know how you came to the conclusion that I believe that every offense

Malabarista

11/19/17 10:45am

Your argument was that in the given sample size we cant come to conclusions abt

Malabarista

11/19/17 10:53am

Your inability to infer meaning from my post only proves my point.

Phcole

11/19/17 11:23am

Your inability to make a coherent point is the point.

Malabarista

11/19/17 1:08pm

When you've made that adjustment for the other top 50 ppg teams, let me know

Phcole

11/19/17 1:14pm

No, that is what you are doing.

Malabarista

11/19/17 1:31pm

I'm not changing the data for one team and leaving the others unadjusted.

Phcole

11/20/17 1:43pm

LOL. Seriously.

CougarLoyalist

11/20/17 11:15am

When your offense was utterly reliant on one player, you’ve got problems because

macaroni

11/19/17 1:10pm

We took a top 25 Boise team to the wire without him. We weren't that reliant on

Phcole

11/19/17 1:13pm

How did we score in that game? Did you already forget???

macaroni

11/19/17 1:37pm

Yes, that Boise State game is proof of a great offense. SMH

CougarLoyalist

11/20/17 11:16am

Keep doubling down, brother. If his name were Smith and never played at BYU,

macaroni

11/19/17 1:06pm

Fire ty, doesn't matter to me. This season was bad enough to justify it. No need

Phcole

11/19/17 1:11pm

WVU wasn't a good offensive game either. O had 4 TOs and a pick 6.

thebruce

11/19/17 1:31pm

I was OK with that game. It was reminiscent of the old days

CougarLoyalist

11/20/17 11:17am

Even our limited offensive success in 2016 was fool's gold ...

BluesBrother

11/19/17 8:49am

And our D was a turnover machine last year

Ulysses14

11/19/17 9:01am

Right. Didn't we get 6 TOs from Utah and still lose?!?

BluesBrother

11/19/17 9:10am

Against Utah and Boise State.

pinolero

11/19/17 9:12am

Two pick 6's and we still lost against Boise st.

budYu

11/19/17 10:01am

No accountability and a lack of hard work/effort in practice

The Dude Abides

11/19/17 8:49am

Sadly this seems most likely to be the case. Which is why we have seen

Phcole

11/19/17 8:55am

I’m sure he’ll get another year. As will Ty. Let’s hope they learn a ton about helping our players be successful

The Dude Abides

11/19/17 8:59am

I'm hoping. Because I can't take another season like this.

Phcole

11/19/17 9:32am

The program needs an overhaul. More accountability starting with the little things. Follow the example of the

slowhiteguy

11/19/17 8:56am

I would not be opposed to keeping Ty as QB coach because I think he can add

pinolero

11/19/17 9:07am

I'm going to go out on a limb here,

JerryAtric

11/19/17 9:15am

Problems on both sides of the ball.

Coogar2

11/19/17 9:54am

I agree that offense is a problem, but question how much is also a HC problem
