You make my point for me. BYU couldn't commit to stopping the run, and didn't stop the pass either. They were destroyed any way you look at it. It was a joke.

BYU defaulted to the same vanilla defense we have seen the past 7 years with Tuiaki. It is a Tuiaki special.
And the excuse every year is because injuries or lack of talent to do anything else.

Well how do other schools do it without the elite talent and also having injuries... Hmmm thats a mystery.

I get it, you have an affinity for Tuiaki. Your blue goggles won't let you see that BYU is below average on defense.
We will see over time who was right about BYU's defense. So far, history agrees with me...
Lets revisit this at the end of the year and see who was right in 2022. Happy to bet on it if you would like as well. LOL

Overall defensive FEI rankings:

2021 - 83
2020 - 9 (Outlier COVID year, epic weak schedule)
2019 - 66
2018 - 63
2017 - 72
