drive was just short of 6 minutes. I think the defense took a step forward.

Thoughts on the defense from Brady Poppinga.

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.

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...

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.

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

Tuiaki isn't the one missing open field tackles.

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

It's not his fault when guys miss tackles.

10/24/21 12:03am

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

Traveller 1968

10/24/21 12:27am

Do you have proof that he coaches fundamentals?

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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
