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

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

9/25/20 12:51pm

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

Pimpin4Paradise

At this point I think he’s trolling everyone

Beggar

We thought that in 2019, but nope.

Turnpike Lane

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

0% that he is doing this.

This wouldn't surprise me. He's taken a lot of flack,...

They play kinda like USC and that worked well

puntersarepeople

9/25/20 12:53pm

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

LEDSFW

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

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

LEDSFW

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

Benfica1

9/25/20 1:45pm

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

I'mBatman

9/25/20 12:54pm

Or obvious passing downs.

Turnpike Lane

9/25/20 1:05pm

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.

Zaphod

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

9/25/20 1:06pm

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

LEDSFW

9/25/20 1:24pm

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.

Hinta

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

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

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.

Our speed in the secondary is no worse than what we typically have and the LB

Why tip his hand?

D.T. Survivor

This approach basically gives the QB all day to throw

DavidBenoit

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.

byusage

9/25/20 3:56pm

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

Refugee

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

byusage

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.

Beetdiggercoug

9/25/20 6:10pm

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

BYURider

9/25/20 5:33pm

Fair point about what he said to the media before Navy

puntersarepeople

9/25/20 6:20pm

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