I agree with you. I was at the game on Saturday and in my opinion ASU beat

themselves on offense. Not just with penalties but with drops and poorly thrown balls.

I didn’t see a significant athleticism difference in any Position groups other

I think I give an edge to ASU DL and maybe the OL. But I generally agree.

Whether you didn’t see it on the field, the numbers are pretty clear

A 1 yd difference in passing and rushing isn’t really that significant

First of all, it actually is. The difference between a RB who gains 4.5 ypc

Not considering the scheme we run on Defense. Yds gained isnt a good metric to

I think their qb was a better passer than ours.

You have a very good point.

BYU had an advantage in receivers/tight ends

So they were more "talented" because they had better overall game stats? How

They were able to run the ball better, pass the ball better, more total yards,

the LOS on both sides was owned by ASU until the end.

100%, they clearly got gassed. Altitude may have also played a role.

Our DL stuck to assignment sound football, they were outnumbered on many downs

BYU struggled to run the ball until that final drive.

Belboz

So we wore them down based off our superior athleticism 😉

kotacoug

9/20/21 9:21am

BYU definitely wore them down at the end. that was a very good ASU team

Belboz

I think the ONLY real talent advantage may have been the OL vs DL and vice versa

The trenches were definitely where ASU had the biggest advantage.

You’re not taking into account scheme. Which is significant. We are going to

A lot of this was offset by turnovers. Not just penalties. We caused havoc and turned them over. Plus, our defense

9/20/21 8:36am

Agree. Ave yards gained isnt a good metric to evaluate athleticism

BYU looked physically outmatched until BYU's final drive.

How many times did they blow the running play with QB or the RB going the wrong
