Problems at cornerback you say? At BYU you say? Shocking.

.@BYUfootball's cornerbacks-turned-safeties are taking practice reps at corner again after injuries torpedoed the depth chart. Still, they call it a "contingency plan" and are confident the new arrivals will be ready by the season opener. https://t.co/ti8cXdkOcr pic.twitter.com/vSb2uLq4wz

Couldn't be much worse than last season.

Corner really wasn't a problem last season, so it definitely could

Coop

Um, okay. So who is to blame for the NCAA-worst pass defense?

SandYFan

8/20/18 2:36pm

Safeties and pass rush

Coop

8/20/18 2:37pm

Oh.

SandYFan

The corners weren't good

Coverage was soft because the safeties were terrible

Coop

8/20/18 2:49pm

I agree

Safety play last year was the absolute worst I had ever seen...

Coug

yessir! and little pressure on QBs didn't help

That was definitely a big problem

Safeties playing corner, bad safeties playing safety, no pressure .....

Oh we have started making up numbers now? What def statistic were they last in?

Ranked #105 in passing efficiency defense, #119 TFL, #81 in turnovers.

That’s not worst in NCAA.

Go back and watch all the seam route and skinny posts that wisconsin threw

It honestly couldn't, the pass defense was historically bad

And yet, the article really doesn't back up that headline. Trib? I'm shocked

That's just a really bad article, period

There wasn't anything new from the article although

I'm really baffled by them keeping McChesney at Safety

ayfan

8/20/18 2:38pm

I was surprised they moved all three (Lake, Warner, McChesney)

Coop

8/20/18 2:39pm

Warner has struggled at times at CB, and has the size to play safety

ayfan

8/20/18 2:47pm

The coaches apparently love Austin Lee

donnerstag

Dumb to think that wholesale position changes would improve things

What worries my is not finding 2 starting corners, it's having 4 or 5 that can

rotate into each game. What's happens when a team has a 4 or 5 WR set?

CougLuv1

8/20/18 5:24pm

You have a nickel back (3rd CB) and then your safeties cover the other WRs

jreid191

8/20/18 5:45pm

I understand that, but do we evenhave 5 total DBs that we love. Plus, others to

You know you can type in the body of the message right?

8/20/18 6:01pm

Who are the projected starters at S and CB?

8/20/18 8:29pm

1st, it's a Trib article. Does anyone really expect truth to be found?

BleedCougarBlue2

Nope. Trib.
