Troy Taylor's offense scares me.

Since we play the U early in the season, hopefully there will be a learning curve for his offense - similar to when we defeated WSU after Mike Leach first took over and installed the Air Raid in 2012.

Taylor is known for being very aggressive (especially in the pass game) and being able to simplify the offense so the team plays confidently.

Taylor has been given the keys to the car from KW to run the offense as he wants. It wouldn't be out of character for him to throw 65% of the time. Our defense should be great, but we are built to stop the run. Hopefully, we can get an early pick or two which causes KW to pull in the reins and become more balanced.

Troy Taylor's offense scares me.

He has the keys to the car until his first turnover. No way KW will go

Absolutely agree. We shall see how the boy fares with 65k screaming fans + Whit

You are aware he coached at Cal and Colorado and played in the NFL?

Especially from a Coordinator with no FBS experience. Taylor's last FBS position was as TE coach under one Tom Holmoe

I'll bet there will be a huge learning curve for Utah.

None of that matters if they don't have a guy who can throw the ball. Utah has

Does anyone really believe KW has given the OC the keys to the car?

There is 0 chance Whit will sacrifice his defense to watch some FCS coach let the worst QB in the conference throw the

Worst QB in the conference? lol.

8/15/17 10:53pm

Who is worse?

Who's the Oregon State QB these days?

Williams's rankings from several different sites:

8/15/17 11:37pm

I thought I had heard that Huntley had gotten the nod but I see Williams is still #1 on the depth chart.

Refugee

8/16/17 8:42am

Nah. It's Williams. It was always going to be him, barring some kind of meltdown

8/16/17 10:34am

Meltdown to come...

icecougar

8/16/17 2:37pm

I think Williams is a pretty decent QB...definitely capable of doing some damage

doctorthunderpants

8/16/17 10:43am

decent enough to probably be 9th at best in the Pac this year

8/16/17 11:08am

The guy struggled to complete 53% of his passes w/ the luxury of an NFL line...

icecougar

8/16/17 2:47pm

Yeah, definitely doesn't bode well for him. I thought him to be mediocre at best

Not saying the guy is All American caliber, but he did have better stats than..

One had an NFL offensive line, the other didn't. And Williams lost that luxury

8/17/17 9:50am

Maybe not the worst. But middle of the Pac at best.

SpiffCoug

8/15/17 11:00pm

I haven't looked at the stats. Was he really sacked that many times?

Cougar Jazz Fan

8/15/17 11:28pm

Middle of the PAC is fair. Maybe bottom 40%. Not the worst.

8/15/17 11:32pm

The most contested spot on offense seems to be QB right now. They spin it....

You just described our WR situation perfectly.

Depends, was his OC wearing leather pants when he asked for the keys?

According to this, KW still very much holds the keys to the car.

With Carrington they now obviously have the WR's, but that's really it...

8/15/17 10:29pm

But do they have anyone who can get him the ball

Pretty good.

His offense would have been scary 7-8 years ago before every team in CFB started

Wait wait wait wait wait, KW has given him the keys of the car

This is a scary year for Utah and Kyle.

Is it Taylor's offense, or Beau Baldwin's? He ran it at EWU before Taylor showed up. He's now OC at Cal also.

8/16/17 9:27am

EWU had a good offense before he ever got there. They averaged

Do they even know who their starter is at QB?

Ktwitt isn't going to hand the keys to a first time D1 OC anymore than for Chow

Taylor could coach the Utes to 70 points against the Denver Broncos, and you

You guys see what you want to see just like those you are calling out on here

8/16/17 11:40am

I'll believe that when I see it.

Do you believe now?

Lots of people on CB will criticize BYU. The meltdowns are one of my favorite

Same thing every year. Players gotta say nice things about coaches.

Nope. The O and D players are both happier with this offense than any time in

I feel like we hear this every year. Probably because Kwhit hires a new OC every

Bostonblue

8/16/17 10:35am

Well, in our defense, every year that OC at least beats byu.

8/16/17 10:39am

your defense scored like 35 points in the Vegas bowl. I'd stick with that.

Bostonblue

Where does that OC work today?? Not at Yewtah.

Yep. Yewts keep hoping that the next OC is the magic elixir, but so far NOT

throwing 65% of time with a QB who has not separated himself from the pack of 3?

And with a QB who only completed 53.1% of his passes last year.

SpiffCoug

8/16/17 11:10am

Didn't KW give the keys to each OC the last 7 years?
