I'm not on the fire Tuiaki train - I think he's been ok - but what hurts IMO is
the parade of career performances against his D.

Let me put it this way: what's the best pass completion percentage an opponent has ever had against BYU? I actually don't know - if someone has a list out there please send it to me. I think it's possible that the top 5 ALL came against Tuiaki.

Alex Hornibrook went 18 for 19 against BYU in 2017. That 94.7% completion percentage was a Wisconsin school record. Hornibrook would go on to accomplish ... nothing. He'd never have another game where he completed 80% of his passes let alone 90%. He'd end up transferring to Florida State with little success. He finished his career as a 61.7% passer. BYU blitzed him on 3 of his 20 dropbacks.

Jake Browning threw for 23 of 25 against BYU in 2018. His 92.1% accuracy was one completion shy of tying the NCAA record for completion percentage in a single game (minimum 20 attempts).11. Per PFF, Browning was actually 23 of 26, but one incompletion was a drop and the other was an intentional throwaway, making his true "accuracy" 24 of 25; equal to the NCAA record. Browning would be benched one month later. He was a career 64.6% passer. BYU blitzed him twice on 27 dropbacks.

Tyler Huntley completed 13 of 16 passes against BYU in 2019. Of the three incompletions, two were dropped and one was batted down at the line of scrimmage. Meaning effectively, Huntley was 15 of 15. He was a career 67.2% passer. BYU blitzed him 4 times on 20 dropbacks.

Jacob Eason threw for 24 of 29 against BYU in 2019, with one throwaway. He was a career 59.8% passer. BYU blitzed him twice on 29 dropbacks.

A LSU quarterback completed 15 of 18 passes against BYU in 2017 - with one drop and one throwaway, meaning effectively the quarterback was 16 of 17 in terms of accuracy against our defense. Was it Joe Burrow? No - It was Danny Etling. He was a 57.9% career passer.

I'm not a fan of making QBs this comfortable.
