So why was Hadley able to run up the middle on Utah? Was it his vision? The O-line? Scheme?

He was an underrated runner. Had great vision and patience. Should have been an

Canada and Katoa were both injured as well, so we were down to our 4th string RB

He averaged 3ypc v. Utah.

True, but Burt only averaged 1.5 yards.

Hadley played his guts out. Very solid performance. Didn't carve Utah up tho.

ag4cougs

7/16/19 9:40am

Which is deceptive and goes against the Ute narrative

cougarmanguy

7/16/19 9:42am

He got yards when needed and also into the endzone once on a short yardage situation.

cowbellcoug

7/16/19 9:47am

Two short yardage TDs!

ag4cougs

7/16/19 9:54am

Utah was looking ahead to Washington and couldn't see him. 😉

You are giving a lot credit to a guy who had 3 ok runs and otherwise 1.7 ypc

Medute

7/16/19 9:56am

You mean, when he was injured?

cougarmanguy

7/16/19 9:58am

I think BYU came out with a solid gameplan and fooled Utah for a bit

cougarmanguy

Also, not bad for a 6th strong running back against a good defense

cougarmanguy

7/16/19 10:06am

Lol. He did what was needed for the offense to work and it isnt unreasonable to think that the outcome of the game

cowbellcoug

7/16/19 10:00am

Even the best running backs have carries that are bad.

ldssdl

7/16/19 10:18am

3 YPC even with his best carries. Let's not get carried away

Medute

7/16/19 10:22am

The Utah D-Line is its strongest position group. Its opponents have to be able to run enough to keep the defense honest.

cowbellcoug

7/16/19 10:27am

We have different definitions of "very solid"

Medute

7/16/19 10:33am

Two short yard TDs on your Ute D-Line doesn't qualify as "very solid"? Maybe you aren't giving your D-Line much credit?

cowbellcoug

7/16/19 10:46am

I guess we could look at those two TDs a bit more critically

Medute

7/16/19 11:05am

Which brings us back to my original question. Was it his skill, O-line, or scheme. But the fact remains that

cowbellcoug

7/16/19 11:23am

I thought BYU had an excellent gameplan for 3 quarters

Medute

7/16/19 11:32am

Real question bc I don’t know. How many of those short runs extended drives?

TunaNoCrust

7/16/19 4:34pm

BYU had 7 third down conversions for the game 4 came from Wilson runs

kolt7

7/16/19 4:45pm

Sounds like he had a huge impact. YPR doesn’t tell the whole story.

TunaNoCrust

7/16/19 5:23pm

I’m not saying he was awesome or that 3 YPC is good.

I guess we are arguing different things

I think the touchdowns are worth noting...

and 3rd down conversions

Our coaches went into their shell just trying to protect the lead. They should

After the bad judgment pick 6? Uhh, no!

CallingDingo

7/16/19 10:39am

Yea, the way they played it was great.

coolblue

7/16/19 11:28am

In hindsight it was the wrong choice.

displacedute

7/16/19 11:41am

Hindsight 20/20. If they aired it out and list we would be saying the same thing

Jazznut26

7/16/19 8:35pm

When you watch the replay it was all vision. He made something out of nothing on

He showed good vision and ran hard.

It's called 18-22 year old kids not ready to play...nothing more nothing less

We are talking about the rivalry game last year, not when Utah beat Alabama.

cowbellcoug

7/16/19 8:04pm

same thing as Sugar Bowl...Alabama would beat Utah 8 out of 10,but not that day

jackryanslc

7/17/19 10:20am

Ute fans have literally become the exact thing that they used to hate. I cheered for Utah in the Alabama game, not sure

cowbellcoug

7/17/19 1:15pm

and also for TCU and Boise State...cheering for the little guy

jackryanslc

7/17/19 1:45pm

Yeah... that checks out historically. Kyle is known to be a terrible game...

Not sayin' the Yewt D-Line isn't any good but

ethanator

7/16/19 7:44pm

Against SEC defenses he barely averaged more than 3 YPC.

displacedute

7/16/19 10:29pm

Then he will probably average MUCH higher than that

ethanator

7/17/19 2:29pm

Vision and patience.

According to every yewt fan i know, it's because they weren't motivated...
