Outstanding season by TA. One for the ages. But seemed like TA at times gets

off the ground bruised. Just before he fumbled on that last drive, I noticed he had a shoulder stinger. Perhaps a reason why he fumbled. Not suggesting a big drop off of touches but a few here and there to let Jackson take off the burden of so many body blows.

McChesney. TA is a stud but we have completely drained the guy this year. Why

MajorZeus

man, he just launched into full speed the moment he was handed the ball.

11/29/21 9:55am

McChesney lined up 10 yds behind the LOS. Full speed when he hit the LBs

11/29/21 10:06am

that was my first thought. He was out like a missile.

Because normally they would put Katoa in

sidsie716

11/29/21 9:56am

Katoa appears to hit the hole to quick before blockers have good position...

11/29/21 10:13am

Katoa is not a power runner. Jackson was a better option for those runs.

Forzaitalia

11/29/21 10:57am

That or he lacks the vision to find the hole in the first place.

Wasn't there a guy at BYU that... ah nevermind

PogiCoug

11/29/21 2:24pm

I think McChesney is better than Katoa

2FarGone

11/29/21 12:52pm

Katoa has been kind of a downer this season.

Heath Squashwell

11/29/21 1:49pm

He sure hasn't impressed me, but my opinion doesn't matter.

The Chelsea Dagger

11/29/21 1:53pm

It was because McChesney was so fresh that he blew through USC D

Blocking was amazing on that play.

jre85

11/29/21 1:03pm

It was definitely this. One thing about the blocking....

LEDSFW

11/29/21 1:40pm

Thanks for the analysis. I am

jre85

11/29/21 2:08pm

I should have mentioned, ZONE BLOCKING FIRST....

LEDSFW

Thank you - this represents the best of CB

Thank you for the great write up!

Additional detail on blocking schemes...

The OL opened up a big hole

11/29/21 5:34pm

Harvey is a great guy and perfect coach for TA

EarlSpeak

McChesney did great, glad we have him. TA just had an all-time great season and you wish he had fewer touches?

MajorZeus

11/29/21 10:00am

USC was laying the wood for sure, borderline spearing/targeting if you ask me.

Unibro

11/29/21 10:02am

No doubt about it. TA even mentioned the gashing he took in the post game

MajorZeus

11/29/21 10:03am

Yes I feel like at time we rode him to much like Utah would do to their backs.

johnnybyu

11/29/21 12:30pm

Exactly. It felt like a Kyle Whittingham move. Ride that horse into the ground

DiamondMo

11/29/21 12:44pm

If only we could figure out how to give him the ball on every play and still

Tricky

11/29/21 12:53pm

The coaches clearly prefer to have a feature back, only giving a few snaps to the 2nd string RB and none to anyone else.

dilbert

11/29/21 10:00am

I am just glad that Tyler is still running at the end of the season!

Pangare

11/29/21 11:58am

May be the first time this season anyone has posted "We should have used TA less"

Clark Addison

11/29/21 10:00am

McChesney averaged 5.7 ypc on 3 carries, while TA averaged 5.3 on 21 carries.

TailgateU

11/29/21 10:03am

Dude, we should have just BENCHED TA then right?

Cougarclaw

11/29/21 10:12am

KSL postgame said TA told the coaches he couldn’t go.

DirtyWater

11/29/21 10:03am

It was a perfect setup for McChesney

HiLife

11/29/21 10:03am

I think you are confusing him with his brother

11/29/21 1:16pm

You are correct, but didn't he come back from an injury from last season?

Appears to me Tyler was "injured" in the Baylor game...Pure will power since

11/29/21 10:20am

I don't think endurance is the problem. What back isn't beat up with 20 carries?

TailgateU

11/29/21 10:21am

He puts out so much effort I am surprised he was to stay in as long as he did.

scott715

11/29/21 11:03am

Just stop with the nonsense. He takes 3-6 hits every time he carries the ball.

Big Daddy D

11/29/21 11:02am

Kalani said he's been banged up since Baylor, so not sure it's just endurance

OldFogey

11/29/21 11:10am

I just don't get this. At all.

11/29/21 12:36pm

TA is having an all-time great year. Throwing any shade at him for any reason is ridiculous.

HarlemCoug

11/29/21 12:45pm

Wondered the same all year. Plus we needed to know what we have fir

truecougster

11/29/21 10:31am

Too few games that were truly out of reach.

wilsdad

11/29/21 11:22am

Lopini didn’t do anything all year though

stoils

11/29/21 12:07pm

Lopini had some very good runs this year. Imo - he should have been used more.

lightmann

11/29/21 12:32pm

Katoa was RB non-grata after the BSU fumbles.

wilsdad

11/29/21 12:39pm

I was happy for McChaffrey. But...he is sitting behind Katoa. Think about that.

Backcountry

11/29/21 12:52pm

True and it's always the case that there are backup players

11/29/21 1:28pm

I agree, Tyler is amazing. I also agree someone else should have been

11/29/21 2:21pm

Tyler is so valuable that ina close game you don’t want to reduce his touches

11/29/21 2:26pm

The should run Mason Wake more. It takes a lot to stop that guy!

GilbertAZCougar

11/29/21 2:49pm

Wake is like a cross between a heat seeking missile and bouncing bomb when..

Pangare

11/29/21 3:01pm

USC keyed on Allgeier. They ran different defensive schemes when he was out.

Silvex

11/29/21 3:43pm

The runs probably surprised them.

scott715

11/29/21 5:43pm

TA is a once a decade type running back.

coolblue

11/29/21 4:31pm

Id say once in 50 year back at BYU. Hes our GOAT.

Backcountry

11/29/21 9:17pm

Somehow we got two to come here in the 2010's. Both from Fontana oddly enough

Hard for me to put Ty'son in their space with that small sample size, but I

SoBlueitHurts

I'm just looking at on-field domination, and Ty'son had it. We'll get another.
