You’re remembering cases like OSU's backup SENIOR QB lighting us up:

I'm referring to freshman or sophomore inexperienced QB's. Here is a list of QB's who ended up being pretty good that struggled against Bronco's D:

Reggie Ball Ga Tech 2003, Freshman ALL-WORLD recruit
Matt Leinart USC 2003
Trent Edwards Stanford 2003, Freshman #1 QB recruit in the country, ended up #9 all time in passing yards for Stanford, drafted in 3rd round
Brady Quinn ND 2003 & 2004, Freshman & Sophomore years, ended up #4 all time passing leader at ND, 1st round draft pick
Jake Locker UW 2008, Sophomore season
Austyn Carta-Samuels WY 2009, Wyoming's prize recruit freshman...ended up doing well at WYO and transferred to Vanderbilt and started there
Josh Rosen UCLA 2015, Freshman year

Just to name a few....go back and look at the stats at those games, they all had dismal performances vs. Bronco's D as young QB's. They would struggle to recognize where the pressure was coming from in Bronco's scheme and he blitzed the tar out of them.

People who hate rushing 3 should be prepared for more of it on saturday. Those three have to get pressure and

Against USC it is the smart scheme. They can sling it, so it fits.

9/10/19 2:03pm

Washington could also sling it, and we also rushed 3 against them and

Too bad this can’t be stickied to the top of the board on gameday

9/10/19 2:07pm

Nah, it’s not as simple as “if they run we stack the line if they pass we drop8”

You just need to be able to get pressure while rushing 3. Chris Peterson beats

So you want to give a team "who can sling it" all day to throw?

Especially when those guys are more talented than your guys.

Sticking with the zone coverage may not be the smart scheme, though.

BYU will get torched in zone by those receivers

9/10/19 8:25pm

As long as we periodically bring pressure, and then show pressure

Will be even harder with Kaufusi out for the first half.

Need to ask Bronco about bringing pressure off 3 man front...his D used to eat

Ratliff didn't have much of a problem in '05.

who was that? TCU

Take away one 48 yd pass and Ratliff threw for <200 yards and 53% completion%

This is the exact opposite of what CB said during Bronco's tenure

Which should give it even more weight.

BYU has had plenty of great QBs who could "sling it"

You give any QB enough time

Oldcougfan

If he has receivers that can get separation.

The defense will have to show usc multiple looks including pressure

You are correct. He stated on coordinator's corner that he intends to play 3 man

KVN at his disposal? Maybe I don’t remember his recruiting story

PKCoug

I'm just saying Bronco had KVN to work with.

Very true special player. Maybe I’m just impatient that Kalani hasn’t appeared

PKCoug

9/11/19 11:46am

I don’t think we blitzed that much in the 3-4

9/10/19 8:28pm

That description sounds a lot like what we are doing

HONOMO

9/10/19 10:16pm

This is the same defensive scheme that Bill Belichik has used on the Patriots.

CougarTailDevourer

9/11/19 12:33am

The scheme like many isnt an issue if ran properly with the right personnel

9/11/19 2:12pm

They aren't and the LBers are getting blocked because the O line isnt worried
