Hmm... Tuiaki is going to have his work cut out for him

Huge Manatee

Wow. 4 of the top 7 o-lines in the country.

CrimWalCoug

8/12/22 10:05am

No point rushing the QB. Might as well drop everyone, I guess

Huge Manatee

8/12/22 10:06am

He's not even going to attempt a pass rush against some of those teams

mudpupper

8/12/22 10:12am

Love the drop 11 rush. Very good stuff.

here's to hoping

8/12/22 5:11pm

That won't be the problem, at least according to the experts here on CB, it's

basman

8/12/22 10:05am

Wait till they face Tuiaki’s “pressure”.

Samsonite

8/12/22 10:06am

At least they get to go against one in practice

BrutustheBrash

8/12/22 10:06am

And DL might be the biggest weakness for this team.

dYrtbYkerYder

might? It is 100%.

Turnpike Lane

By a large margin too.

Yikes!

When you play a good offensive line you want to try and confuse them at least a little bit to slow them down. Good thing

kimdaddy35

8/12/22 10:09am

I'm sure we'll hold them to 6 yds/carry though.

ManicBlue

8/12/22 10:11am

And only converting 85% on 3rd downs

kimdaddy35

8/12/22 10:13am

Well at least we won't have to watch them convert 100% of 4th downs. 😉

ManicBlue

8/12/22 10:26am

You know you gotta drop 8 to confuse those RBs so when they bust through the

OLine preseason ratings are often pointless

Zoobieman

8/12/22 10:16am

That being said. . . 4/7 looks pretty daunting. . .

Zoobieman

8/12/22 10:18am

Phil Steele ranks them about the same.

ManicBlue

8/12/22 10:28am

My personal opinion is that this very well might be the best offensive line in

Hopefully they aren't expecting the bull rush.

I'm going to call my dad and say, dad, I've got good news and I've got bad news.

Undefeated

8/12/22 10:20am

He’ll be fine with his psychological pressure on the QB. Defense is perfect.

ColdFusion1989

8/12/22 10:38am

He will crack out a new defensive scheme...drop 11 just imagine

Creaturecow

8/12/22 10:58am

I think Bill Belichick is the only coach that can pull that off.

Zoobieman

8/12/22 11:16am

These are just guesses at best

OldFogey

8/12/22 11:05am

Nope ... usually based on returning players, previous production and career starts.

ManicBlue

8/12/22 11:09am

Yep, I get that. but not everyone is playing the same teams, so it's not as

OldFogey

8/12/22 12:31pm

It's still not a 'guess'. They use a lot more stats than I just mentioned too.

ManicBlue

An educated guess is still a guess.

OldFogey

8/12/22 2:29pm

smh ... which teams are you disputing then and which teams would you put in their place?

ManicBlue

8/12/22 2:33pm

You're misunderstanding. I don't have my own list. The account that publishes

I am surprised BYU’s OL didn’t make the lofty ranking

Cougarpride

8/12/22 11:39am

#9 not lofty enough? haha

Hope the offense can put up points.

Dr T-bone

Again another list BYU is being left off of when almost everyone

Wait. . . What? Please explain

Zoobieman

Three of the four will focus on running the ball and possibly

lol, my bad. I didn't see the entire list. I didn't realize BYU was on it.

8/12/22 1:17pm

tuiaki would have a tough time with a pop warner team

Kale

8/12/22 1:52pm

No doubt. Those pop warner kids are way too small for college ball

OldFogey

8/12/22 2:25pm

now that we know the competition, how about all the Tuiaki haters

Jizosh

8/12/22 2:44pm

The goal is average points per drive. Per game is not relevant with the type of defense we play.

kimdaddy35

8/12/22 2:46pm

I thought the goal was stopping the offense and outscoring the opponent...my bad

Jizosh

8/12/22 3:02pm

The goal is is to win the game. But *IF* you're trying to measure how good

rcbyufan

8/12/22 3:05pm

And winning is actually measured not in the opposing teams total points, but

Blue chunks

8/12/22 3:07pm

'some sustained drives'? You haven't been paying much attention I see.

ManicBlue

8/12/22 3:07pm

Do you realize we gave up 25 pts/game last year ... 27 pts/game to P5 teams?

ManicBlue

8/12/22 3:33pm

DO you realize we kept almost every opponent under their season average and won

Jizosh

8/12/22 3:49pm

RE: DO you realize we kept almost every opponent under their season average and won

ManicBlue

8/12/22 4:41pm

Yes, because if they run 12 minute drives but score every time we’re hosed even

Blue chunks

8/12/22 3:05pm

Also, not getting off the field in a timely manner or giving up poor field
