This argument is 100% valid. BYU is #112 in First Downs given at 153. That is terrible.

As to this week, Wazzu is tied with us so actually just as awful. So that helps. But stats don't lie. We are terrible at 3rd down defense and give up way too many first downs. But at least we keep it all in front right 🤷‍♂️

You start. What you got?

He's likely not calling for people to fired

It's a fanboard. It's everyone running their mouths with an opinion

Not offended. It’s just kind of pathetic how far some take it.

MormonThug

Yes. You take this waaay to seriously. We are all internet randos on here

Calling for a man’s job pretending I could do it better because I watch Gameday

But the halftime adjustment! HALF TIME ADJUSTMENTS!!!

ANYTIME adjustments would be fine

Non-donor making rules…

That’s right, go the ad hominem route, don’t address the issue… Brilliant.

If there’s anything this site doesn’t need, it’s more rules.

Then you should probably go back and review your notes from freshman english.

Fine, we’ll just give you a thumbs down and ignore your rule proposal:)

Ok here goes. This is for the end of the half:

Those aren’t adjustments.

Rodolpho

10/17/21 10:21am

The adjustment would be to quit making stupid clock management decisions game

byubyu

10/17/21 10:22am

That was, without a doubt, the worst sequence in the game

reddead

10/17/21 11:28am

We kept hearing about the depth. There is no depth. They lied to us. Fire 'em

1) Drop 8 w/ no real stunts on DL. 2) destroying us 3)No real change 4) opponent didn’t need to change just like others

Why play one undersized player out of position when you can play two undersized players out of position?

In all honesty, it might be better for the team to put TA back at LB

Just saw this post! Spot on. I posted a brief summary of the D and good to see

The issue- I don’t see the scheme being fixed on defense- we know what we have

This guy is one of the few that understands scheme and coaching minutiae

Appreciate it- all issues are fixable- but there are just so many glaring holes

In my experience few players really understand the scheme as a whole
