The problem with Tuiaki's defenses is subtle but VERY impactful to the team

Correct. The defense is playing "bend don't break" which results in

Actually - BYU is better than average in yards allowed per possession

And the offense has the job of no 3 and outs.

Again, that is partially offset by how good our cover units are

Good point.

Why don’t I understand this. The defense doesn’t get off the field...

Points are inversely correlated the length of the field you have to drive to

If you pay attention to field position over the last two years, you'll see that

This is a two way street. You can't only blame this on the defense. Our horrible

Except that our poor offensive FEI is more than offset by our elite cover units

As well as the D played vs Boise, those two 10+ play drives in the 2nd half hurt

Bronco also adopted the bend but don't break philosophy. What were his numbers?

Doesn’t matter. Bronco won games. No losing seasons in 11 years.

Bronco’s D was MUCH more aggressive in pressuring the QB

Tuiaki is probably coaching out of fear. He knows if he gets 8 points behind it's game over.

He needs to worry about his own side of the ball.

Actually Bronco used zone pressures, he didn't "blitz" that much

The FEI data goes back to 2007 on Football Outsiders. Here are his FEI rankings:

Also, the lack in sacks and turnovers have a huge impact on momentum of the game

The problem with Ed Lamb's special teams isn't subtle, but it's VERY impactful

Fox News is fair and balanced. CNN is just crap.

Utah State is 21st in the country at defensive FEI,

This feels like you’re bending over backwards to put blame on the defense for

ASFP is close to a meaningless statistic for measuring a defense, as illustrated

This is not about measuring the defense in the traditional way.
