Only if you generalize. Go rewatch early games from last season, for example.

Too bad we never got to see a Bronco defense last year so we could compare.

I bet the BYU offense could have piled up points on Bronco's defense last year.

I bet Tyler Allgeier would put up 5 TDs against Bronco's defense last year

I defend him because he is a solid, not great DC.

Tuiaki's results are typical of most DCs in BYU history.

Don't forget to add that Bronco put the best players on defense and had some truly underwhelming offenses.

That is rewriting history.

I defend the situation. He’s the DC, and I don’t see that changing.

Does the scheme impact the talent that goes to Provo? I have to believe it does.

I don’t think so. Winning matters most.

The arrogance of people to think they know more than Tom is off-putting to say the least.

Whatever. CB is full of guys who know more about defense and the players available than Kalani does.
