Coastal Carolina was really the game that pushed me into Tuiaki defender status

ToP is never irrelevant, especially with BYU. There may be a reason the O wasn't

TOP is the single most overrated stat in football. This has been repeatedly debunked and people still cling to it

I’ve been trying to get exactly this across for a long time. TOP could be a means to some small list of potential ends,

TOP is often irrelevant

Good thoughts, Sadly the actual game was completely different.

Interesting point. Thanks for looking that up.

They kept our O on the field as many times as the national average... what??

Of course it's relevant in a game where BYU's elite offense couldn't seem to get in a rhythm.

1 of those possessions was end of half. The other was end of game.

And how many possessions did BYU have relative to season average?

That's why BYU scored 3 points in its final 6 possessions. . . Now I get it.

This- CCU realized Byu was a big play offense- limit their time on the field

Also didn't help that we scored a TD on the first play of the game, only to have it called back on a hold

You just had to remind us. I had all but forgotten that play.

The offense playing poorly is a reflection on Tuiaki? This is the stuff I'm

Both units failed. Tuiaki’s D fails more consistentlu than that offense. This is

Yes - no one is saying that the defense needed the offense to control the clock.

That was coastals strategy going into the game

I don't know how you could watch that game and walk away defending anyone.

I would have liked to have defended Wilson on the final play of the first half.

The offense was equally atrocious that game

There was plenty of blame to go around for that one...

Expect USF and Baylor (among others) to use that same game plan this year

Also, BYU's longest drives were 3:41 and 3:51 and both ended in punts.

BYU averaged 1.54 points per drive. So you're saying they needed 13 drives to

Here is the issue. When you play an option team and never take a lead they are

BYU led at the half 14 - 13

My opinion of Tuiaki and his defense

Good opinion.

I can buy all that. I can't buy that Tuiaki is the only problem ever and the direct cause of every BYU loss

Absolutely agree. The offense and special teams all played a big role in the Boise St loss last year.

This is exactly where I am. I don't think Tuiaki's good, but the criticism/scapegoating is over the top
