I'd compare it to a basketball team that runs a slow it down four corner

Blueto All-American

back cut offense that runs the entire clock. It's not entertaining but if that team is winning 84% of the time(like BYU football over the last two years)...do you change it? Isn't the point winning games?

It’s a major problem.

Offense had a significantly better Points scored per possession compared to

The offensive tempo is a small part of it too

It has to to keep the defense off the field.

This is the biggest indictment of Tuiaki

But Tuiaki thinks nothing is wrong

Like ive said since day 1. ..

You said that after we gave up 16 points to UA in Phoenix 2016? Link?

mulletino

I believe he actually said it the day Tuiaki was announced as Kalani's DC

It was actually the day Tuiaki was born…

Not to mention that having the defensive players on the field for more plays leads to more injuries.

Football has rotating possessions.

Blueto

6/22/22 8:58pm

You can play that game both ways. 10 possessions when average is 13.5? Not good.

mulletino

6/22/22 9:00pm

How do you know? What is good? Winning? Would more possessions mean more

Blueto

6/22/22 9:03pm

The offense averages more points per possession. So…yes.

mulletino

Listen to what you are saying… if our offense is more efficient at scoring

Get help. Gleefully rooting for your team to fail because of your hatred

Blueto

6/23/22 1:05pm

I am not rooting for byu to fail

CarolinaCoug

6/23/22 8:10pm

Limiting possessions because your offense doesn't leave the field = good

Corn Pop

6/22/22 9:03pm

If the defense is bad do you want to give teams more possessions?

Blueto

6/22/22 9:04pm

If your offense averages more points per possession then it’s pretty obvious.

mulletino

I'd compare it to a basketball team that runs a slow it down four corner

Blueto

6/22/22 9:15pm

We don't have a ball control offense. We have a defense that can't get off the

The comp you seek is aemy air force, navy. Their defenses often

CarolinaCoug

6/23/22 11:27am

If they are scoring on a majority of their drives, it makes no difference. Well,

Corn Pop

6/22/22 9:18pm

Explain 21-4 with your theory

Blueto

6/22/22 9:26pm

That's easy. Mostly good offense mixed with bad opponents in 2020, plus

Corn Pop

6/22/22 9:33pm

You don't have many double digit win seasons while having a "terrible" defense,

basman

6/22/22 9:37pm

I think the bigger point here is playing to strength. When your O is your strength you get them the ball more.

Blueto

6/22/22 10:12pm

when you limit the number of possessions, it isn't a good argument to say you

here's to hoping

6/22/22 10:41pm

🤣🤣🤣🤣Our defense won games.🤣🤣🤣. I needed that.

CarolinaCoug

6/23/22 11:39am

2020: Strength of schedule; 2021: weak pac 12 and an elite offense.

here's to hoping

6/22/22 10:27pm

Holy crap..take each game and analyze it. We played crappy inferior

Look at the number of plays per game of cfb teams and tell me if you want to be

palangi

6/22/22 11:00pm

I wouldn't mind being number 12 on the list

here's to hoping

6/22/22 11:04pm

Yes. Definitely scoring really fast and a lot of 3 and outs is the best scenario

palangi

6/22/22 11:23pm

I don't know why more teams don't just do that

here's to hoping

6/22/22 11:33pm

But also #119. I'm not sure this list really tells us anything, by itself.

What it says a lot of plays/possessions doesn't necessarily equal success and

palangi

We dont all play the same schedule sobits not a good stat

CarolinaCoug

You could say that about any stat

I noticed that Georgia and Cincy, #1 and #5 in Scoring D were also 2 of the lowest for Plays Run

slatecoug

There's so much missing from that stat. Which is why its not a good one to

CarolinaCoug

In your opinion

slatecoug

6/23/22 12:12pm

The offense Has to be methodical to keep our defense off the field

CarolinaCoug

6/23/22 11:46am

I suppose it's a credit to our zone D on 3rd and 3..

SausageKing

6/22/22 11:17pm

If teams have a lot of 3 and outs, and BYU's offense didn't have a lot, then

There is only one reason to limit possessions:

Hazzard

6/23/22 9:29am

Wouldn’t the offense’s time of possession be another important factor?

Hyrum in Houston

It's because Tuiaki gets praised for his low points given up
