Thoughts on the defense from Brady Poppinga.

@BYUfootball fans. @coachtuiaki is running a top notch defense. In today's college football, if you can give up 24 points or less the defense did their part. So anyone who thinks the defense is under performing just doesn't know football. Those are #facts.

The only part I have a problem with is the limited chances to score on offense.

If you have an efficient offense that score on nearly every possession, you take

Some of that has to fall on the offense they need to take advantage of possessions as well. The defense forces a

Agreed but 9 min drives hurt opportunities.

10/24/21 11:06am

There were no 9 minute drives given up against WSU. The longest

Yeah I know. I’m talking about the only problem I have is that. Byu has given up

But, but, but, the adjustments... the high tackling... the bull rush...

Poor tackling is poor tackling...that's a fact

He's not bright. #facts

Isn’t BYU ranked in the 80s in some pretty major defensive metrics per FS1 broadcast? Let’s not get crazy here…

It won't win any awards tonight, or most nights really, but the defense did enough to get a win.

HuskerFan2

10/23/21 11:56pm

Agreed. Just stop with the “top flight” defense nonsense. We have eyes, Brady. And access to all stats.

Thanks to the offense running out the clock and their kick holder for screwing

After today, they are probably ranked about 110 in 3rd down defense. I don't

Also, most teams with BYUs recruiting ranking haven't played 5 P5s in 8 weeks

#36 in points per play. In any scoring defense category we rank pretty good

Tuiaki isn't the one missing open field tackles.

SoValleyCOUG

10/23/21 11:53pm

No he does not, but he manages practice and coaches fundimentals.

10/23/21 11:57pm

It's not his fault when guys miss tackles.

SoValleyCOUG

10/24/21 12:03am

The DC is accountable for the performance of the entire defensive unit.

10/24/21 12:27am

Do you have proof that he coaches fundamentals?

I remember poor tackling under Bronco for a short time. He took over

Defense did their part today, but that was mostly due to so few possessions.

cougaman

10/23/21 11:56pm

Top notch is laughable. Ranked in the 80’s ain’t top notch. But they did do the job.

spugeddy24

I would be fine with a three man rush if we could pressure the qb regularly, but we don't.

The defense played better this week but it is still one of the worst in the

BYUs D statistical rankings show it’s not top notch

How many rushing yards did we give up to a mediocre Baylor team…

10/24/21 6:56am

Above post is intended for the main thread.

10/24/21 6:57am

The idea that limiting points is everything

10/24/21 7:21am

When you rely on the other QB to make mistakes, your DC sucks. #Facts

Not saying D is as good as Brady says, but part a good D is causing mistakes

How many mistakes are caused by this defense, honestly. The int yesterday, our

??? The receiver had half a step on his man but no real separation. Moore

jre85

10/24/21 11:06am

Yeah, and it would have been second down. But the QB overthrew it by 10 yards

cougaman

10/24/21 11:11am

That just isn't always true and is potentially fallacious logic

Points per game isn't a great metric when they have 7 minute drives because

Except points per possession, the one that matters the most.

What are we ranked in that statistic?

Limiting a bad team with coaching staff 5 days old isn’t that impressive

Top 80 notch?
