I still see lots of posts that want to dismiss the struggles of the defense with

Those numbers will automatically be adjusted with the back end of the schedule

They weren’t against Toledo and usf

10/23/19 9:02am

Our D only allowed 21 against Toledo.

10/23/19 9:20am

Right. Not great against them

10/23/19 9:22am

It's true. Look at 2014. They had a few low scoring games to help an otherwise

10/23/19 9:21am

The crazy thing is when a team allows 29 ppg, they usually have several games where they allow 40+

It looks like its by design. That is what is maddening.

Unibro

It's the offense job to win and the defenses job to not lose, at least it seems

BTW, 29.7 ppg would have been 81st in the nation last year. So when saying "historically bad" that's a bit hyperbolic

I think he means by BYU’s history

Not really

10/23/19 9:07am

I guess if you have no regard for apples and oranges...

What about points per possession?

He's talking about BYU specifically...

Oh I saw that the first time...

CoachSpeak

10/23/19 9:47am

It's a bit hyperbolic because it is a mid-season metric compared to full season

Unibro

The Bronco years got us all accustomed to great defenses & meh offenses

One thing many younger guys may not realize...

CoachSpeak

10/23/19 9:43am

well, for most of the time. The 93 defense was horrible

BlueK

10/23/19 9:51am

I did say "70's and 80's"...

CoachSpeak

10/23/19 9:55am

I agree it was very good most of the time on Lavell's teams

BlueK

10/23/19 9:56am

Those defenses coincide with Fred Whittingham

mcnasty

10/23/19 10:10am

It was by the late '80s that LaVell's defenses took a step back and were only

true. but it also coincides with the rest of the conference getting better

Our offense also gave TD’s to Toledo and Washington. Might want to factor that.

Dangerous

10/23/19 9:19am

BYU has given up 28 points directly off kick/turnover returns, plus a TD on a turnover on an INT return to the 2

Indy Coug

10/23/19 9:22am

Historically bad?

Norge Coug

10/23/19 10:02am

I agree that one was worse. But the offense was also scoring way more points.

Unibro

What is the points per game in regulation, omitting Overtime from the equation.

SlantRoute

10/23/19 10:45am

You'd have to delete the following

donnerstag

10/23/19 10:59am

Which puts you right at the magic 24 point number that Bronco calculated.

SlantRoute

10/23/19 12:33pm

Everyone agrees they aren't good enough on offense...

CoachSpeak

10/23/19 12:57pm

Our defense has allowed fewer points per drive than the opponent’s average in regulation in every game except Washington

mvtoro

10/23/19 11:37am

This is spot on. Our defense played well enough for us to beat Toledo and USF.
