It’s not the defense!

Offense is terrible, but defense is bad too.

You are wrong. Defense is better than average according to S&P+ rankings.

I truly believe the defense numbers look a lot better cause we're always down

Wisky could have put up 50 on us.

11/20/17 6:58am

70, they could have put up 70 if they wanted to

You may be right about opponents taking their foot off the pedal late in games

Lsu, Utah, wisky, miss, boise. All loses. Usu toss-up.

11/20/17 7:05am

The loss to USU can be chalked up to injuries. Even with our backup QB we were

Utah scored 19. That's not a failure by the D.

right. but they played ball control the whole game. utah is much better on

11/20/17 8:36am

Utah knew they had the game at halftime? U do know we had a chance to win in

nobody on the planet thought we were going 90 yards on utah to win the game.

11/20/17 9:56am

Agreed. Would still lose big vs. Wisconsin, also losses against LSU and Miss St

i still don't think we beat boise and definitely not utah.

Defense is lousy according to FEI rankings

its really hard for me to say the defense is good when we let opposing qbs

11/20/17 9:04am

Agreed. BYU just lost 16-10 to UMass. Hard to fault the defense for that.

The defense manages points fairly well but struggles to get off the field

11/20/17 6:33am

Yup. The defense is not good on 3rd down, and stinks at getting pressure on the

The good news is that our ability to manage points seems to indicate a sound

11/20/17 6:53am

I will say this about the Defense. During our stretch of the 5 toughest games the opposing team didn't continue to push

SouthernBlueBlood

11/20/17 6:42am

Agreed. Opposing offenses have been able to move the ball at will against this

Way too much criticism of the defense recently.

I agree to a point, but it's like comparing Al Franken to Roy Moore

It's also not just the offense. The entire team is poor.

SpiffCoug

At this point it is the entire team

The problem is our defense has a lot of experienced guys who have digressed

Does S+P adjust for opponent difficulty? Because in the FEI, which does, we are

11/20/17 8:18am

S&P+ does, too, but it tracks different things in a slightly different way . . .
