It's the cushion. They were playing almost exclusively cover 3 last year.

Just rolling it to one side or the other. If they play it differently this year, Jalen Dixon is going to have a monster game.

Do you agree with what Bryan Kehl said in an interview this morning?

The last part is encouraging considering Ludwig is apparently big on quick

I'm not worried about Moss because he isn't going to play in the game

it would be unwise IMO of Whittingham to play him and risk reinjury. But we know

QB play can make up for a lot in football

"Huge edge" is a big stretch. Tyler is the most underrated QB in the state.

Most local guys have him at #2 behind Jordan Love

Simply the post I replied to.

That was rough, no doubt.

LiquidUte

I didnt say BYU currently has a huge edge, really good QB play could provide it

CaliWG

8/23/19 1:45pm

Yes, and the same can be said for half the teams on our schedule.

I think thats a good point.

Oh, BYU has some very athletic players - maybe some are not quite as fast...

Whats the difference between talent and athleticism? when we talk of a talent

Team Cheese

8/23/19 11:38am

Talent can also include strength, size, technique, decision-making, hands, grit

Burt is more athletic then Hadley, but Hadley was more talented at RB.

DJROSS

8/23/19 11:48am

I don't dispute that Hadley is a better running back...i would still say Burt

Team Cheese

8/23/19 1:49pm

I disagree I would say that BUrt has more natural speed and athletisism, but

The two words are far too often conflated, but I'd say that talent refers

Skill. How to use the body. Coordination. Decision making. Consistency.

BYU has talented basketball players. They rarely have athletic bball players.

Every year I think Utah will throw over the top against BYU's slower DBs.

tribUTE

8/23/19 11:49am

I might have to do with BYU playing "cover 3" a lot on defense.

DryFlyUte

BYU plays with a 15 yard cushion.

jaredm

8/23/19 12:57pm

It's the cushion. They were playing almost exclusively cover 3 last year.

He has to catch the ball first, reminds me of our own 50/50 (Wilkerson)

Dynomite

8/23/19 1:51pm

I think he'll be a lot better this year. Was really hard on himself.

LiquidUte

8/23/19 1:58pm

Hans broke down 2 times that utah beat dbs but the ball was underthrown

Our DB's aren't really slower anymore. But my memory is that Utah gets

Ash

I don’t think there is a huge gap in either area

Agree with him about their over-the-top game. Especially early in the season

rockhound

8/23/19 11:52am

Yes. A big reason we keep the games competitive is because we play above our

Our young CB’s worry me. Dayan will be fine, but the other side could get exposed

LifelongAP

8/23/19 12:43pm

BYU was one of the best teams in the country in limiting the big play last year

Indy Coug

8/23/19 1:17pm

IMO at the cost of taking any chances on D. We need disruption to get the ball

Ash

8/23/19 4:19pm

BYU can compete with Yewtah if it does two things.

Archaeovagrant

8/23/19 1:20pm

BYU didn't give up last year and had the same pass to run ratio 8n both halves

Starts and Ends with the Lines. O-Line and D-Line have a huge impact.
