Did you watch the USU/BSU game? USU looked completely inept. They are not a good football team. We get BSU at home which is huge.

Real and rational thoughts on USF , the defense, and the next 5 games....

Keep in mind that the 2014 Utah State team that beat us had just lost to

Yeah, you never know how these games will go. Hopefully BYU is healthy. USU has

Don't agree that USU looked inept. Total offense was essentially equal.

I thought exactly the same thing while watching

I wasn't concerned with the limited pressure...it was the fact we had zero

This was the biggest issue of the defense, our D ends didn't contain the edges

“Flushing the QB” was the goal!

held together with bailing wire and duct tape? That's a little dramatic

Didn’t mandel only play one quarter then got banged up?

LyleLanley

9/27/21 9:36am

Yep. And Hayes isn't a starter either lol

macdizzle

9/27/21 9:40am

He's good enough to be. We can 3-deep at corner this year with ability. It's so weird to see it.

Turnpike Lane

9/27/21 9:43am

Agreed. But he's still a backup.

macdizzle

9/27/21 9:45am

3 of the people you list weren't 1 on the two-deep to start the season and 2

macdizzle

9/27/21 9:36am

Aye. And we agree that more blitzing wasn't the answer to USF's mobile QB

Pili cleaned up soooo many issues... when you have a single player make

OC Coug

9/27/21 9:34am

YES. Even if Pili was the only defender hurt, you're going to see a BIG dropoff

macdizzle

9/27/21 9:37am

The staff has to find a replacement and quickly, so the other 10 can play in position.

Turnpike Lane

9/27/21 9:43am

I agree. The Pili to Bywater dropoff is very very large.

macdizzle

9/27/21 9:44am

Might be a good idea to move Allgeier back to LB

Pili was playing the Takitaki role

Spot on. Only one point I quibble with.

Fun part of this: these could be some shootout games where we win (or lose)

macdizzle

9/27/21 9:54am

USF also made an adjustment mid-2nd quarter; our response was to go conservative

Thanks for the write up and good points/ arguments.

I appreciate the "in the know" comment; I wish that I had that kind of access

That is a great thing that people aren't talking about.

Good post. I think during that stretch we saw why Hall is QB1 and Baylor QB2...

icecougar

Good observations. Also, USF did a good job of not killing their own drives.

yeah, McClain did not look like a freshman out there and was surprisingly...

I agree on all points.

I agree with you 90%. But I have one issue with the D, which has been mentioned.

Some of what you say is very obvious. But you’re bumptious with some of it.

Robbinoburrito

To use the word bumptious is in and of itself bumptious

I looked it up. It means I have an ample chest. I appreciate the compliment.

Not if it fits.

Robbinoburrito

Nothing fits my bumptious and ample chest.

9/27/21 1:34pm

How right you are. Everything, except itself.

Robbinoburrito

9/27/21 3:29pm

also with 2014 there was some major dysfunction on the defense....

DL has not been great...

A good DE covereth a multitude of sins.
