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

proudcugr

11/8/18 6:15pm

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

Archaea

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

nephicoug

11/8/18 3:41pm

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

Solid points

I keep trying to figure out what the long-term plan is...

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

11/8/18 4:39pm

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

AF Cougar

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.

Kajdin

11/8/18 5:28pm

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

antiyewt

11/8/18 5:38pm

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

Let's put this into perspective for a second. If you were to quanitfy a

I think both are responsible for losing;

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

Nailed it. Good post.

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

nephicoug

11/8/18 11:08pm

Every kickoff should be fair caught or allowed to touchback. It's stats, man.

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

This is not a good refutation to the original post.

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

Odysseus

11/8/18 7:00pm

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

FairWeather-L.I.T.S.

11/8/18 7:07pm

Taking this to its conclusion...the defense should also do the scoring

Blueto

11/8/18 7:18pm

I’m not buying it. See proudcugr’s post above. Seems like a special teams issue

Odysseus

Nice post, broheim.
