I'm totally buying his explanation of playing "aggressive coverages" as opposed
to "aggressive rushes".

FWIW, Tuiaki said they did a lot of analytical research on things which actually matter with defensive play

Preventing big plays is the primary goal of the system because those hurt you more than anything else.

He's got a point but you gotta stop the other team on downs as well.

The biggest problem last year, by far, was giving up almost 5 yards a run on first down

I just remember dreading 3rd and long

It felt almost automatic for the opponent. I'd be interested to see how our 3rd and long defensive stats compare

I just looked up our stats for opponent's 3rd down conversion. So not 3rd and long, per se, but still relevant.

We were 109th in opponents' 4th down conversion rate.

BYU was 106th at 43%

The stats I looked up didn't include FCS opponents, only games involving two FBS teams

This is a good example of why looking at stats as N/130 doesn't tell you much. We had 194 3rd downs last year (maybe

114th out of 130 isn't very good, right?

And I look at 3rd and long as a VERY big play. Them converting on 3rd and long

Gotta stop the run on first down, that's the most important rule of defense 101.

Tuiaki did say stopping the run was a top priority

BYU opponents gained 5 or more yards on 1st Down 46.6% of the time in 2021. That was up from 34.3% in 2020 & 42.1% in 19

I think that's an interesting conversation - I honestly don't know the answer.

Giving up a long play (especially a score) is an outlier of offensive performance, so you are in effect spotting them 7

The plan of the defense is a failing one.

It is the defense Sitake wants. That won’t change with the coordinator unless he

I didn't hear anything that lead me to believe that the research was just done this year. That is CB echo chamber.

But 3 former and 1 current DC can't figure out the issues?
Coug
6/22/22 11:56am
They didn't do analytics to see "what was wrong". They wanted affirmation of the things to focus the most.
Indy Coug

Perhaps we should consider that they are not all clueless but think they are

Drives of 18 plays or more are very rare in CFB, so we've decided to focus our defense

Not 18, but 12-play 7 minute drives seem to happen pretty regularly vs BYU

The non-garbage-time national average for plays per drive is 5.71. Last year we avg 6.28. The difference between top 10

Also, national average time off the clock - 144 seconds vs 163. 20 seconds of playing time. However that's not adjusted

Research says to basically never punt. Why are we still punting? Why is anyone

For one, that research essentially assumes that the Law of Large Numbers will bail you out in the long run

It doesn't say never punt. They have a table of when to punt and when not to.
