The defense actually did make some adjustments as the season went on.

The offense did as well.

But to say the defensive scheme wasn't changed at all as the season progressed is not accurate.

The moment I knew Kalani was a bad fit.

The defense was top 50. Stop making excuses for a bottom 10 offense.

Top 50 defense? Hardly. It should have been much better than it was with the

Scoring defense, points per play, and total defense. That is not "picking"

Those statistics are a farce. In every game against a half-decent offense, our

If the offense was any better those defensive stats would look a lot worse.

The defense wasn't as bad a the offense, but stop using the offense as an excuse

So you want a primary teacher for a football coach?

classic overstatement, nice teenager refute.

Oh, I'm sorry... was I too hard on you?

One of the more obvious adjustments was what the defense did vs USU

I'm not saying KS knows what he's doing or not, but I see quite a few coaches

I agree you come down for poor execution but not because he lacks the talent

smartup

12/7/17 1:43pm

So - you think Critchlow lacks the talent to complete a pass?

Eddie

12/7/17 2:40pm

What does missing a throw have to do with talent?

chodilicus

And some players respond to it. I never minded being yelled at. Being yelled back and sent back out is better

Get after things that can be adjusted. Yelling because talent isn't there is

I think saying "come on" is more exemplary of the former rather than the latter.

MacroCougar

Calling out a player for lack of execution vs lack of talent? One works....

This is D-1 football so not executing and not having talent to make a play

BYU was incredibly lucky they went up against a large contingent of teams who couldn't throw the ball

It isn't like Kalani reamed him on the sidelines. It was just C'Mon Man! moment
