If not, it could explain some of the depth issues.

Wouldn’t this be expected given the much more difficult schedule?

No. It’s “opponent-adjusted” as stated in the tweet.

Yea but maybe not to that degree

At lb? The dl was pretty healthy most of the year.

BYU '80

1/26/22 7:52am

I mean from 2020 to 2021

RGGeemer

1/26/22 8:07am

Got it. Did lose a lot. No doubt

BYU '80

1/26/22 8:08am

Not sure. We lost nearly all offensive production to the NFL from 2020-2021. They did ok.

byubyu

We lost way more on D

RGGeemer

1/26/22 8:07am

We lost 53% on O, 84% on D. And got some huge help from the Nacua transfers

RGGeemer

1/26/22 8:21am

Yep, they recruited well on offense.

mulletino

1/26/22 8:49am

Would be interesting to compare stats from the 1st three games to the last 10 if

Abe Froman

1/26/22 7:54am

Points per possession in the first 3 games 1.61 ranked 30th, 85th for the year

Cougzilla

Was BYU the only team to lose starters on defense? Were all opposing offenses

ldssdl

Or running a scheme that gets you off the field instead of allowing 8-20 play

We ranked dead last in returning defensive production

RGGeemer

1/26/22 8:08am

All those teams must've lost a linebacker to injury.

I’m just waiting for next years excuse for Tuiakis pathetic d

BYU '80

1/26/22 7:54am

We returned Pili, Wilgar, and Tooley from the top 10 2020 tacklers

Milton

1/26/22 8:04am

Wilgar was around for 85% of the season, don't oversell it

stansburycoug

1/26/22 8:06am

Yeah our backups are just like Georgia's backups, yep.

RGGeemer

1/26/22 8:09am

Something is wrong with these stats. Is Bywater not coming back?

Cougzilla

1/26/22 8:14am

Are you talking about next year? This is from 2020 -> 2021

RGGeemer

1/26/22 8:17am

Yeah got confused

Cougzilla

How much do you trust that data? It's actually wrong(Link)

stansburycoug

AND he got a pay raise. Dude can sell poop.

1/26/22 7:53am

So did Kalani, the former DC who helps plan, coach and recruit for BYU's Defense

Abe Froman

1/26/22 8:10am

Kalani has never been the DC at BYU.

BDAWG

1/26/22 8:25am

Nobody said he had.

Abe Froman

1/26/22 8:32am

To be fair minded.....

docrick

1/26/22 8:10am

it's already taking the tougher schedule into account.. so injuries = -49%?

Saxa

1/26/22 8:18am

Injuries to key starters when you have little comparable depth....

docrick

1/26/22 8:25am

Why don’t we have depth after 6 years with these coaches

FatThor

1/26/22 9:19am

That's a very good question. Don't know the answer

Cougzilla

1/26/22 11:27am

Outlier on schedules was 2020 not 2021,

coug92

1/26/22 8:15am

They are both outliers IMO. As long as our defense returns to normal levels

viper

1/26/22 9:40am

Fire Tuiaki. Hire whoever ran that 2020 defense; he was good.

UCLACoug

1/26/22 8:16am

Have we forgotten that many teams on that list only played a partial schedule- comparing anything to 2020 is useless.

PJMort

1/26/22 8:20am

Good thing we played a soft PAC12 schedule or it would have been worse.

panacablue

1/26/22 9:27am

So you agree that Tuiaki was good in 2020?

All-American

1/26/22 9:45am

So apparently the defense needs to recruit better.

Not what you'd hope when factoring everything in...

Show some respect!

1/26/22 11:23am

Our offense is our defense. I fear for the day our offense is average. 2017 2.0

Why do you think there are Tuiaki apologists? I havent seen any on CB. I see two groups. 1. We can do better than

Sounds like he was good in 2020. Makes you wonder what changed.

All-American

1/26/22 5:31pm

He wasn't that good in 2020. It helped that he had a lot of Seniors and that BYU played the worst schedule in the

Stat is adjusted for opponent.
