I can even go 1 step further and look at the 3 pass defensed from Nebraska's

schedule that BYU's pass defense ratings from last year were closest to. Those 3 games would've been Illinois, Rutgers, and Purdue. In those 3 games Armstrong completed just 50% of his passes (32-64) with 447 total yards (149/game avg) and threw 4 TDs and 4 INTs. If I were a Nebraska fan that would have me worried.

BTW, BYU had a much better run defense than all 3 of those teams.

yeah, I disagree. Taysom is a constant. BYU will score

Tommy lights up poor defenses like BYU..

KCHusker

9/4/15 11:39am

ok, you are overstating your position a little bit

9/4/15 11:40am

exactly. they're not going to be top 25 or probably anywhere close to it

Fresno St was pretty impressive last year.

okay, so BYU will probably lose if you are right. My point is, this

BYU defense, when run by Mendenhall and not Howell, has consistently been t20

If you think BYU has a terrible defense, you must think yours is terrible, too

I think most of us here have come to the realization that he is a decent qb

9/4/15 11:33am

Having seen Taysom in live practices this year, the answer is yes.

9/4/15 11:37am

and appears to be throwing it as well, if not better. the offense will be fine

smokymountainrain

and likely stronger

And more married.

his 3 non con games that actually matter

Mr Bassman

a wildly inconsistent, fairly inaccurate passer (unless vs FCS or the worst D)

Mr Bassman

Against defenses all much better than BYU....

I think you will be surprised by how good byu's d is.

bald man

9/4/15 11:57am

amusing.

9/4/15 11:57am

I think you are underestimating BYU's defense

jreid191

9/4/15 11:58am

so you're just as unintelligent as most Nebraskans I've encountered.

Mr Bassman

9/4/15 11:59am

The BYU Secondary the least talented group Nebraska will face in 2015.

KCHusker

9/4/15 12:22pm

Too bad you don't have any decent receivers to throw the ball to.

Top receiver Westerkamp had 5 td's last year 4 of them to the awful

You're focusing on the secondary way too much. BYU plays with 11 on D.

boscatar

9/4/15 12:50pm

That may be true.

Nebraska WR will be the least talented group BYU will face all year so we don't

I don't think its unfair to say he was inconsistent last year.

Mizzou-Blue

9/4/15 11:59am

some defenses he's played against in his career probably worse than '15 BYU

Mr Bassman

9/4/15 12:04pm

if you're basing your opinion of BYU's D on just last year you will be sorely

Let me get this straight. You came to a BYU board to tell the fans BYU has one

I think the vice-versa is the biggest question.

What about Purdue!?!

Mizzou-Blue

9/4/15 12:41pm

Also, how about Illinois who you openly suggested was equal in talent to BYU

jreid191

I hope you don't mind

Historically, BYU's defense always shows up in season openers.

royal_blue

9/4/15 11:57am

BYU's defense last year didn't start sucking until they lost half their players

jreid191

9/4/15 12:00pm

Yes. Maybe Wintrich's program can help reduce some of the attrition.
