I think the other think than predictability is that you can get beat up in the run game. I wonder if the correct strategy in this case is to rarely rush four

Tuiaki basically admits he's going to rush three against Troy. Defends it by

Dumb Tuiaki. Defending his bad decisions even before the game starts.

Chances are Troy has studied Tuiaki. Doesn't Pugh work at Troy?

MajorZeus

Yes Pugh has

Rushing 3 hasn't been the problem with Tuiaki in the past. It has been rushing 3 every single down. Nobody's sweating

At this point I think he’s trolling everyone

We thought that in 2019, but nope.

I don't think he's smart enough to troll people

0% that he is doing this.

It worked well until later teams figured out what BYU was doing.

Um, many of the issues later in the season were offense related....

When Tuiaki rushed 3 on 3rd and long downs opponents converted 59%

Do you need me to bring up the offensive struggles that lead to actual losses?

It works AS LONG AS the other team refuses to just take the 4 yard run that has

At least bring a blitz on third downs

Or obvious passing downs.

DID I JUST READ A "BEND BUT DON'T BREAK" comment?

LEDSFW

9/25/20 12:55pm

He's right tho

Blueto

9/25/20 12:58pm

With this offense, it is actually the best strategy in the early downs.

Turnpike Lane

9/25/20 12:59pm

It worked once! Once.

Teams like Troy who run tempo make it tougher on the defense to mix things up. That's one of the reasons why

Indy Coug

Another reason to play a 4-3 or 5-2 line w/ hard press on the WRs.

If Tuiaki is back in charge of the D, BYU will lose

Hinta

9/25/20 1:18pm

So when is Tuiaki in charge and not in charge? How do you determine which is which?

Indy Coug

9/25/20 1:20pm

When BYU rushes 3 on an obvious passing down, Tuiaki is calling the D.

The W-L record. Determined after the fact, of course.

If in doubt, drop 8 - seems like a reasonable defensive strategy 🙁

B Blue

9/25/20 1:26pm

There are times and teams where drop 8 works. Maybe this is one of those times.

Yeah, Tuiaki has figured out what no other coach in history has. What are the

Or maybe he's figured out you're not like every other team.

I hope Tuiaki is planning this....

Let’s see if we have the horses to pull it off.

StalwartBraveTrue

The reasoning is sound, but they have to throw blitzes in and disguise them.

9/25/20 3:56pm

I’m telling you, the best defenses I’ve seen seem to always have a blitz

9/25/20 4:02pm

That’s also because the best defenses have the best players which allows them to

Blitzing needs db's that can disrupt the timing as well. Pressing man coverage

Good. It has worked against Trojans in the past.

The scheme has its place. Just not every week.

Lets dispel this myth...it didn't happen every game.

Guys...Tuiaki is giving a very vanilla game plan of what he is

Fair point about what he said to the media before Navy

Hmmm - let's ask ourselves....why does Troy throw it short & get it out quick?
