of attempts. "Forcing" Bo to beat us with his arm wasn't going to get us anywhere, except maybe giving up 50 instead of 40.

Tuiaki is what is he. We have enough tape. We've hit our ceiling on D with him

I'm assuming the ceiling was the Baylor game, or the Utah/ASU games in 2021.

Yep. It took me forever to see it with Bronco. Now it was obvious for a long time that he needed to move on.

Pretty well summarized for a neurosurgeon

Before anyone gets offended on behalf of Tuiaki...

mulletino

9/19/22 12:24pm

Whoa, hold on, wait up. Its nice to hear this.

Backcountry

9/19/22 12:35pm

Well, obviously. I don't have extreme bitter feelings toward the man like some all these years later...

mulletino

9/19/22 12:36pm

But...I was right.

Backcountry

Tuiaki will never move on from Kalani. All we can hope for is an eventual lessening of responsibility & influence on D.

Spiff

9/19/22 5:57pm

Everybody realizes he's running Kalani's defense, right?

shoganai

9/19/22 12:01pm

How different is his arrangement with Kalani from other head coaches and their d coordinators? Defensive coordinators

No touching

9/19/22 12:10pm

Coordinators getting fired is usually just a precursor to the HC getting fired.

shoganai

9/19/22 12:21pm

Nebraska just fired their DC. . . I think the interim HC is going to get the ax

Zoobieman

9/19/22 12:27pm

The staff at Nebraska will probably be almost totally whitewashed when they

shoganai

9/19/22 12:29pm

Signed Kalani and Bronco... To name a few recent and relevant examples.

The_Cuss

9/19/22 12:46pm

Lol. Bronco ended up rehiring the first OC he let go. I remember how excited a

shoganai

9/19/22 12:50pm

How long did firing Jaime Hill last? That was the reference...

The_Cuss

9/19/22 12:54pm

And he ultimately replaced Hill with Nick Howell. That was not a net gain in the

9/19/22 12:56pm

I never saw Utah run a defense like this under Kalani. I have no idea what this

Corn Pop

9/19/22 12:11pm

I agree that Kalani approves it, but resembles nothing like the defense Kalani

Rhubarb

9/19/22 12:16pm

Our players also resemble nothing like the players Kalani typically had at his

shoganai

9/19/22 12:20pm

Do you have a theory as to why that is, particularly on the d line?

No touching

9/19/22 12:29pm

I don't think it's hard to figure out.

shoganai

9/19/22 12:33pm

So why does the offense not suffer from the same thing? Goes both ways no?

The_Cuss

9/19/22 12:48pm

The offense absolutely suffers from the same thing.

shoganai

9/19/22 12:52pm

The offense was not overpowered by superior talent. Play calling was bad.

The_Cuss

9/19/22 12:57pm

I just completely disagree.

shoganai

9/19/22 1:00pm

Cool, so with the same talent as Oregon, a 3 man front can stop the run. Right?

The_Cuss

9/19/22 1:05pm

I don't think the number of down linemen is particularly relevant.

shoganai

9/19/22 1:11pm

Thats fine, but additional guys didn't come. It was frequently just 3...

The_Cuss

9/19/22 1:16pm

Nix had no trouble beating us with his arm. He had an extremely productive day

shoganai

9/19/22 1:19pm

He was 13 for 18... Oregon rushed for 222 yards. Avg over 5 yds a carry....

The_Cuss

9/19/22 1:27pm

Oregon had more passing yards than rushing yards on fewer than half the number

shoganai

9/19/22 1:44pm

Do you think that rushing attempts and passing attempts equal the same yardage?

The_Cuss

9/19/22 2:51pm

I am not the one in this conversation wearing blue goggles.

shoganai

9/19/22 3:11pm

UO 2nd string offense played in the 3rd qtr... We have better talent than that.

The_Cuss

9/19/22 3:38pm

Again, the one wearing the blue goggles here is not the one willing to admit

shoganai

9/19/22 3:55pm

"We held Oregon to 3 points once they removed their starters". Congrats I guess?

The_Cuss

9/19/22 5:36pm

The offense scored ONCE in the first 3 quarters. The final 2 scores were against

NYC and Japan

9/19/22 1:41pm

Who said the offense wasn't bad? Did you read what I wrote? LOL

The_Cuss

9/19/22 2:38pm

"offense was not overpowered by superior talent... lets be clear the offense

NYC and Japan

9/19/22 3:12pm

Again, I said the offense did not perform well... Nothing to interpret there.

The_Cuss

9/19/22 3:34pm

I guess we'll see if d line improves in the next couple years.

No touching

9/19/22 12:48pm

Nearly our entire roster needs to improve to be more than a regular also-ran in

shoganai

9/19/22 12:55pm

How much has the d-line improved over the past 7 years? There's your answer.

The_Cuss

9/19/22 12:58pm

Improved enough to go 23-5 overall, 7-2 against P5. Wins against 2 teams top 25

NYC and Japan

9/19/22 1:44pm

Thanks to the below average defense? Or despite the below average defense?

The_Cuss

9/19/22 2:41pm

You imply the defense and/ or dline have not improved in 7 years

NYC and Japan

9/19/22 3:32pm

What are you talking about? I didn't set any bars with points. You did that...

The_Cuss

9/19/22 3:41pm

I'm just amazed that out of all of the positions that seem to be the hardest to recruit for Tuiaki... it is DL...

Coug

The defense we've become used to seeing is not capable of being a .500 team in
