I'm upset more about lack of physicality then the speed

BYU can and should be as physical to other teams. What kills BYU historically is speed. BYU depth this year, better but unless used correctly can fall trap to speed again. Against Tenn and USC, BYU will be just as physical than both teams.

I just got done watching the FSU vs BYU game. Their speed killed us.

Old, yes. But they could’ve chosen different board names haha

They are almost as funny as trolls...or Yewts posing as BYU fans.

I think poor tackling was a bigger issue than speed

I did see that as an issue. Hopefully you’re right.

Often caused by poor angles which is a symptom of lack of speed

There are NFL guys that run 4.7/8 but are great at angles and form

The NFL guys are used to practicing and playing against that speed daily. BYUs

FSU isn’t the only team we’ve played with speed. We also lost out primary

my heart broke a little bit while I was at that game.

They also had an NFL QB in Ponder and he was a senior iirc. It's funny

Agreed. Ponder killed us but our D line were his accomplices.

And back then Bronco's defenses never seemed prepared for mobile QBs...

That game our guys looked like they were running through molasses. It was awful.

BYUtka

Exactly. Their running back looked fast.

It was similar to the Michigan game. We were physically outmatched.

We were gritty and had a lot of "Rudy" type players on the team back then...
