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

he gets the ball. 1/2 of the time he tries to hurdle, (with pretty good success) the other 1/2 of the time he appears to look for some poor secondary defender and zeros in on him with the intent of leaving a permanent impression on the poor soul, even if it means he doesn't get as many yards. I wonder if has his targets picked out before his number is even called.

Definitely a fun guy to watch play.

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.

Rhino84

11/29/21 2:33pm

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

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

11/29/21 8:54pm

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

Unibro

11/29/21 9:58am

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

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

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

11/30/21 12:37pm

And a guy from SC, although he got hurt after just a few games. We've

TailgateU

11/30/21 1:25pm

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

SoBlueitHurts

11/30/21 1:40pm

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