Scheme. Tuaki philosophy is 3 down with 8 drop. How do you explain QB pressure

I'm wondering why that scheme had changed so much in a year and why we keep

probably due in part to the injuries in the defensive backfield and Tuiaki not

Tuiaki ran the sack-lake-city d-line at Yewtah in 2013 & 14. He got 39 sacks in 2013 and 55 sacks in 2014. He's been

He had nothing to do the the Utah defense. He was a DL coach

being the DL coach of a P5 team with 94 sacks in 2 years isn't relevant experience? please show me a list of candidates

Being a DL coach doesn’t mean jack in regards to developing,

kotacoug

What happened? He's the DL and DC coach of a team this yr with 10 total sacks.

ManicBlue

So you’re saying CB gets to hire the next DC?

icecougar

No evidence? The D performed better against BSU, and USU.

Lol. No evidence available? We’re 3/4 the way through the season.

So he can't recruit - big drop when not using Bronco's players

Or that he can’t coach...it’s possible the talent is as good or better than

BYU was 18th in total defense last year

As you know, total defense doesn't adjust for BYU's slow pace of play

BYU Fan

BYU's defense had to defend almost exactly the NCAA average number of plays, BYU's offensive tempo notwithstanding.

BYU gave up 157 yards rushing to Idaho State, mighty E Wash gave up 131

Most of that came on two plays, one of which was right after the scrubs went in.

But many contributors were still in

BYU '80

When it's 42-3, I really don't care that much what happens with the defense on a single play

Indy Coug

11/18/19 3:07pm

Most of that was 2 plays, and the 2nd was with the 3rd stringers in the game

MikeDitka'sStache

11/18/19 12:30pm

There still a lot of contributors in on defense

BYU '80

11/18/19 2:09pm

You do realize those yards were given up when back ups were in right?

PessimisticCB

11/18/19 12:37pm

His style is the opposite of Bronco's which BYU fans learned to love.

MikeDitka'sStache

11/18/19 12:30pm

this combined with Tuiaki and Sitake stating they wanted to bring a defensive

Littlerich

It is similar. Both have 11 players on defense.

Total defense sucks as a metric FEI ratings,38th, 67th,62nd, and 76th.

Even if you want to use those numbers I don't see it supporting the position

So he's middle of the road with upper tier talent? No wait, scratch that.

So what I'm reading from CC's post is that the 2018 defense wasn't any good

BYU needs better. Do we want to he meh, but not horrible? Then keep Tuiaki, he

He would not find a DC job anywhere FCS or FBS.

No sacks against an fcs school is telling

Yes, our DL group performed a lot better when Steve Kaufusi was coaching them...

The defense hasn't been the reason for the inconsistent play since 2016

BeardedSpock

right, the offense gave up 28 unanswered point to Utah last year
