NewMexiCoug All-American

Utah was #8 dirtiest, BYU was #37 from 2003-2012. Bronco came to BYU in 2003.

Why Are Texans Such Dirty, Dirty Football Players?

Among other findings, a look at personal foul and unsportsmanlike conduct data from the past 10 years turns up a LOT of aggression in the Lone Star State and the allegedly relaxed West Coast.

That surprises you with Bronco at the helm?

Well he always focused on developing “boys.” You are right it’s sad but true.

Whether people agree or not, remember all the constant chatter from byu's rivals about byu being a dirty team when

I am having memories now of several instances; i.e., Memphis fight.

Although to be fair, that was Memphis' second bench clearing brawl that year

I think playing on the edge is different than tolerating "dirty" play. And the

NewMexiCoug

9/24/21 6:21am

If you tell them to play on the edge you HAVE to tolerate a few dirty plays

SoBlueitHurts

9/28/21 10:52am

Actually this most likely stems from Bronco's metrics and focus on what wins

DJROSS

9/23/21 2:06pm

Dirty play wins?

icecougar

9/23/21 7:12pm

He basically said that aggressive teams get some extra penalties so he didn't

SoBlueitHurts

9/24/21 2:06am

In 09 one of these plays changed that rivalry game. Jan hit Wynn ever so late.

MrClark

9/24/21 8:22am

That was so hard for me to reconcile. I really liked him and he preached

SoBlueitHurts

9/23/21 4:16pm

Maybe it comes down to Bronco being emotionally detached. He doesn’t understand

BYU Tar Heel

9/23/21 4:31pm

No - it was a conscious decision that Bronco made. Not emotional detachment.

Eddie

9/23/21 5:16pm

No kidding. BYU was infamous for unsportsmanlike penalties with Bronco.

MrClark

9/24/21 8:18am

They do have a rep in the ACC as dirty

JOPE

9/23/21 9:15am

Yeah? How do you think BYU should approach?

Blacknblue

9/23/21 9:16am

If I was BYU i would contact/email the officials before the game with concerns

JOPE

9/23/21 9:18am

"Reputable" basement sources said Kalani has a reputation for whining to refs...

moknowssports

9/23/21 11:19am

Cite safety concerns as a reason for concelling and Kalani can pay $80k out of

Haha that’s a great response!

Blacknblue

9/23/21 12:15pm

Funny, but Bronco might like this. He repeatedly has said he does not want to

That blindside hit was horrific. Seriously super dangerous.

cmoney

9/23/21 9:16am

Seriously, that is nuts. How is there not a punishment for that?

BerkeleyCoug

9/23/21 9:22am

Interesting, Virginia averages 8.5 penalties per game, ranking 117th in NCAA

You must not remember the nutpunch or the Miami beach browl.

Backcountry

9/23/21 9:35am

Oh shoot! Yeah that was a classic!

Blacknblue

9/23/21 9:36am

...the nut-punch training from Bronco given each Spring. Not players fault.

That was against Boise State wasn't it? Brawl against Memphis

Yep

Also Travis Uale's crushing helmet to helmet destruction of Dres Anderson...

That was legal at the time (targeting not in NCAA rulebook at least) and

I believe so, but I do not know. I was actually surprised both Nacua bros did

SoBlueitHurts

9/23/21 4:19pm

They both did - they just shared them.

Eddie

9/23/21 5:18pm

I know they were both penalized, but I think that they didn't get double yards

I think we should've got him in the second half.

Totally legal when he played

Yup i never said illegal, just dirty

icecougar

I am not sure I even agree with that. Safeties were taught to hit like that

Yawn. The same 5 clips that Yewt fans love to recycle to feed the narrative.

Those of you buying into UVA bring a dirty team thanks to Bronco:

run26

9/23/21 2:12pm

Bronco lets his players play on the edge. Always has. Even at BYU.

Eddie

This was my feeling almost exactly.

Because people kept repeating the lie. The facts say differently:

NewMexiCoug

Public perception. Thankfully under Kalani it's changed

icecougar

9/24/21 9:52pm

Has it? Many late hits out of bounds in all three games so far this year.

gmj81

9/25/21 12:23am

How many? 2?

icecougar

9/25/21 3:55am

Agree it was public perception, mostly due to the constant repetition of the lie

NewMexiCoug

9/25/21 9:58am

That was commendable restraint by the NC Center on that last shown play.

SinkingQuffa

9/23/21 3:17pm

Yeah it was. I was surprised no one went after the bum.

YEs, this is what a football player needs to do. As hard as it is.

Good thing we already played a dirty team in ASU.

I hate when Bronco rips people's helmets off and blindsides players on the field! Isn't his eligibility up?!
