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

Pasadena All-American

The good teams we played ran their offense knowing would couldn't score any points. If we scored 30 points on Wisconsin, they would have scored 70 on us. I wouldn't be so quick to pat the defense on the back based on aggregated national stats.

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

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?

Would have been more funny had you been the one to notice it.

Nah... it was still pretty dang funny to me

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

byubyu

agreed

smartup

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

Countcougula

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

12/7/17 9:49pm

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....

Have you ever played competitive football? Serious kweshtin

The Lone Star Cougar

12/7/17 2:07pm

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

Coop

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

Indy Coug

Very true - Okie St would have put up 63 on us in the first half

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

True. But it wasn't a classroom. It was the Pediatric ICU.
