Yall will whine about the defense no matter what.

Like I said, the defense clearly isn't perfect but it's laughable to see CBers pointing fingers first and foremost at the defense this game

Lol...just have to laugh at CB sometimes...

Our defense does suck.

Blue Print

This. It was a group effort. Their OL was supposed to be a weakness

jrifkin48

10/9/21 6:17pm

Yeah other than the 2 tds off tos, our d was terrible, gave up 12 points.

MrClark

And allowed them to eat the clock.

Our offense fumbled two plays IN A ROW around our own 25. Not the defense’s fault they didn’t have the ball “enough”

Sigh.

Giving up a first down is not remotely close to fumbling on your own 20. And once again, the problem wasn’t a lack of

Go back and reread my original post.

“There’s no room for error…” There is an incredibly large amount of room for error between “no error” and 6 turnovers.

When we don’t start really playing defense until they’re on our 20, what

Here’s the difference: when we didn’t make the defense start defending inside our own 25, they gave up 0 TDs and 12

Defense did a good job today until the last drive

Until that long pass and incredible catch....

I more was referring to the 2 bad penalties.

Perhaps a CBer had the most accurate quote during the game "it works but it is frustrating"

TNT

Offense has an off game and the defense plays their regular game. Did nothing

Machiavelli

Because it's trash.

It isn't, but Is like a defense that is capable of doing something other than

Some of us just don’t like mediocre defense. So sue us.

Bossk82

10/9/21 6:18pm

Defense generated plenty of turnovers in the previous games

Machiavelli

10/9/21 6:22pm

I actually liked the D the first 3 games. Since then? Nope.

Bossk82

10/9/21 6:24pm

Few near universal truths with the BYU fanbase generally.

dfudge

10/9/21 6:19pm

Sticky this 😅

Machiavelli

10/9/21 6:23pm

Saying the defense was bad ISN’T the same as saying the offense was good.

Bossk82

10/9/21 6:26pm

This ^^^^. They aren’t mutually exclusive. Both sucked today. So BYU lost.

The_Cuss

10/9/21 10:02pm

We gave up double their average in rushing yards 🙄

PING Man

10/9/21 6:20pm

Yeah, people lock on to their emotional biases.

k-ace

10/9/21 6:21pm

How's their rushing game been before today? How was it today? How many TO's

BYUfan92

10/9/21 6:24pm

Good analysis

How’s their rushing D been before today? We lost the LOS on both sides and

NewMexiCoug

Kanani mentioned the D many times in post game

maxpowers

10/9/21 6:28pm

There’s no doubt the D was not the primary culprit for today’s loss. BUT, that

P-townCoug

10/9/21 6:30pm

This is a reasonable, fair take. I respect that.

Machiavelli

10/9/21 6:35pm

But the offense’s mistakes today were uncharacteristic, whereas the defense’s …

Bossk82

10/9/21 6:38pm

Yep, fair. But that doesn't mean you don't blame the offense for the loss

Machiavelli

10/9/21 6:40pm

Oh, I absolutely place huge blame on the offense today. No question.

Bossk82

10/9/21 6:55pm

Let's talk when BYU's D starts producing some 3-and-outs instead of allowing

TrueBlue67

10/9/21 7:37pm

Thanks for the chuckles 😅

Machiavelli

10/9/21 8:29pm

I'm glad you find BYU's D comical.

TrueBlue67

10/9/21 8:34pm

This man has a point. Def easy target, but it was the fumbles and failed 4th

zerome4sooners

10/9/21 8:41pm

But, amazingly, if Tuiaki's D can force JUST ONE 3-and-out with 3 minutes to go,

TrueBlue67

10/9/21 8:44pm

Nope. The offense couldn't score. Maybe the D could have gotten a pick 6.

Benfica1

10/9/21 9:29pm

Actually they did force a 3 and out in the 4th quarter to give us a chance

Machiavelli

10/9/21 9:30pm

Our D scheme still sucks, but your point is valid.

TheLoneCougar

10/9/21 9:10pm

Yep I can agree with that

Machiavelli

10/9/21 11:30pm

This scheme doesn't work well when you are playing from behind.

TheLoneCougar

10/10/21 5:05am

Yea, I get some of the frustrations with the defense but

3 fumbles and we lost it all in the trenches. . .

We didn’t really though:

mvtoro

10/9/21 11:37pm

Dude, we lost the trenches. . . Stats show Allgeier was superior to their RBs

Today's loss was definitely a team effort
