Yeah, this take is not realistic

I love the guys the put on our uniform and play, but we’re playing with a number of walk-ons on the defense and the OL is pretty banged up too. No disrespect to the walk-ons and 3rd or stringers but it’s unfair to expect them to perform at the same level as our starters.

Ol was missing Empey and RT Barringtoj. But Pay has played a lot at center. Lb

LaChance and Romney were out too. Haws at DT was also out apparently.

Few, lose 7 starters on 1 side...and when they do they don't go 10-2 usually

Honestly that's the biggest difference between P5 (at least the lower levels of P5) and non-P5

The crazy thing is that BYU's depth is better this year –reason why they won 10.

Also, the coaches KNOW their players and played to their strengths. Tuiaki:

It starts by not having the D play more downs than needed. A scheme and mindset

This is who we've been all year. We haven't blown anyone out. But keep winning

They aren't the same team at all. I didn't even know some of those players on defense were on this team at mid season.

Injuries on defense are a big part of it. We don’t have the depth of P5 teams.

BlooCoog

To be honest, given how depleted they are, I thought they stepped up when they needed to in the last three games.

This is a team that has scratched and clawed in the face of serious injury
