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

For the fire Tuiaki crowd some numbers. 14th, 46th, 24th, 51st. Thats where BYU

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

MajorZeus

11/18/19 12:27pm

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

mwcoug

11/18/19 12:29pm

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

HarlemCoug

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

kotacoug

11/18/19 12:43pm

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

HarlemCoug

11/18/19 12:51pm

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

kotacoug

11/18/19 1:25pm

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

ManicBlue

11/18/19 1:30pm

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

icecougar

11/18/19 4:15pm

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

Metallicat

11/18/19 3:52pm

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

11/18/19 4:00pm

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

BigTex

11/18/19 12:28pm

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

Indy Coug

11/18/19 12:29pm

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

BYU Fan

11/18/19 12:30pm

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

Indy Coug

11/18/19 12:32pm

Blueto

11/18/19 12:31pm

We need SOS adjusted numbers. Or direct comparisons with the other teams they

Problem is that now all of Bronco’ players are gone

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

BYU Fan

11/18/19 12:29pm

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

Indy Coug

11/18/19 12:30pm

Hack — with almost the exact same comment at the same time.

MikeDitka'sStache

11/18/19 12:30pm

But many contributors were still in

BYU '80

11/18/19 2:08pm

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

11/18/19 12:33pm

It is similar. Both have 11 players on defense.

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

11/18/19 12:37pm

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

Blueto

11/18/19 12:42pm

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

Indy Coug

11/18/19 12:44pm

Trending from very average to below average

icecougar

11/18/19 4:22pm

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

Indy Coug

11/18/19 12:49pm

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.

FBS he could without too much problem.

Valid points.

Blueto

11/18/19 1:26pm

No sacks against an fcs school is telling

BYU '80

11/18/19 2:07pm

Or USF which is near the bottom in the nation for giving up sacks

ldssdl

11/18/19 2:17pm

In particular this, as USF were susceptible to pressure and couldn't throw and Tuiaki was dropping 8 and playing the

Doesn't pass the eyeball test for sure. Those losses were so embarrassing

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

icecougar

11/18/19 4:25pm

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

BeardedSpock

11/18/19 1:42pm

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

Littlerich

11/18/19 1:52pm

IF the offense had scored any points it would have helped

BYU '80

11/18/19 2:10pm

I am not saying the offense is without fault, but to say the offense is the

Littlerich

The difference IMO is that the offense is showing improvement and the defense is
