are taught to follow the pulling guard because he will lead you to the play.

Tonga didn't wait to follow him--he ended up beating him to the play, haha. Great play by Tonga!

Probably my favorite play from last game. Tonga is a BEAST!

He was hungry

Hope he is ready to go for USC. We'll need pressure on the QB.

Dang... if he gave that effort every play he'd be a 1st rounder.

Agreed, but as good as that play was for KT, I was disappointed to watch #49 on

And max effort is what BYU has to have to compete w/ these more talented programs.

Like you said he was playing contain and making sure he didn't overpursue

Because the coaches never want their guys to play loose. His eyes followed the

Exactly. And if you look at that play if KT doesn't blow up their play in the

His job was to hold the corner and make sure they didn't take it wide to that

For reference see our reverse in OT

Yeah that sounds about right

Love it when we have PLAYMAKERS!

He wasn’t 100% last week but I think he is now

puntersarepeople

9/11/19 9:23pm

He wasn't 100%? That is two games in a row with starters not 100%.

BYUALWAYSNUM1

9/11/19 9:30pm

Didn’t start

He didn’t really “devour” him. He was moving that way for the block.

To the right, sure. 3 yards backward? Not so much.

dilbert

May be true but to say he “devoured” him isn’t accurate.

Traveshamockery

9/11/19 10:07pm

Looked devoured to me

Meh. Let the guy take a little liberty with a figure of speech. Whatever you want to call it, it was a huge play.

dilbert

9/11/19 10:27pm

Did he actually pull out a knife and fork and start eating him? No, so technical

akmewg

9/12/19 1:13am

WRONG! The guy he crushed was their center, NOT a guard. Watch it again.

BleedCougarBlue2

9/11/19 10:27pm

Centers do pull in certain blocking schemes

Wow. Didn't know that. Thx.

This is true. Empey pulls pretty frequently for us. But...

Big Papi

Thank you for the correction.

dilbert

9/11/19 11:15pm

Not pulling at all watch the first move, his first move is to block down on Tong

akmewg

9/12/19 1:07am

Ya only thing he wasn’t suppose to get blown the freak up. Lol

You really have to be "that guy"? Geesh....there's a nelly on every positive BYU

Michael McQuain

You think that is how the OC drew that play up?

LifeLongLakerFan

9/11/19 11:57pm

Yep, I'm sure that got the offending lineman yelled at during their next....

BleedCougarBlue2
