Injuries need to stop being an excuse at some point

I did find the comment yesterday about players being cleared for practice but not to play seemed odd. I wonder if some bureaucrat somewhere is keeping people off the field.

So was this a game where Tuiaki made impressive second-half adjustments?

He'll never be given credit for it by the cougarboard experts.

I feel like Tuiaki does whatever CB doesn't think he'll do.

The inconsistency is frustrating.

Their biggest mistake was throwing on 1st down in the 3rd quarter. Got sack, forced punt, scored and forced them to

Gave up 24 points and 278 total yards. Maybe it seems bad but that’s actually

Not to mention 14 points or so were greatly aided by the zebras.

You didn’t watch the first half. It’s wasn’t a good effort. Horrible defense.

Second quarter was great. They stopped the run. First quarter was a disaster

Average against a bad offense

That actually seems like a good amount of points scored for the amount of yards gained.

First quarter was a bit strange, but given the injuries and adjustments it felt like a good game by Tuiaki.

Worth noting too that we were missing at least 5 starters on D.

Injuries will always be an excuse. There is reason most talented players are starters. They are better than 2nd and 3rd

We just hired 5 full time guys to be recruiters. Other coaches have had much more institutional support than our

I'm baffled how our team always resembles a mash unit

BYU Fan

I'd bet that if we looked at total injuries from a typical P5 team starting at fall camp to today that we'd find that

HarlemCoug

9/25/22 9:06am

I think a lot of it is the independent schedule. The hard, physical P5s teams early in the schedule whereas most P5

Yet I see better dlines all over g5

BYU '80

Yes he did. Frustrating that we started so bad but the adjustments were good

All-American

9/25/22 8:02am

I'm sure he did, I think a lot was the offense scoring, getting the lead, and

cougaman

9/25/22 8:24am

Sure but we had to get stops to take the lead.

Yep, defense made a few plays. Still worried about the run defense. It wasn't

In post game Wyo coach mentioned BYU defensive adjustments

They had to throw more second half because were down two scores the whole half

Was it Tuiaki or did Kalani step in?

Go look at the play by play. We didn't shut the run game down

Goliath

9/25/22 8:33am

Wyo had nearly 100 yards rushing in the first quarter and a half. They still ran

BYU '80

9/25/22 9:11am

If giving up 6 yards/carry is "shutting down" then...I guess

Goliath

9/25/22 9:22am

"Shutting down" likely refers to yards given up in the 1st quarter vs. the rest of the game.

TheLoneCougar

9/25/22 9:25am

Problem is why did they need adjustments?

BYU '80

9/25/22 9:27am

You thought they'd line up in two TE sets from the 50yd line? Power running is not what I expected WY to run.

TheLoneCougar

This feels like the opposite of what I had supposed, and it seems like reaching

They ran 20 times in the first half. I agree we did much better in the 2nd qtr

Goliath

9/25/22 9:46am

They didn’t give up 6 yards per carry.

BYU '80

9/25/22 9:25am

Per the play by play they ran 10 times for 60 yards in the second half

Goliath

9/25/22 9:36am

From the ESPN article write up of the game:

TheLoneCougar

9/25/22 9:39am

Yes. And that is the second quarter --before halftime

Goliath

They did great in the pass game, and had the 1 big TFL. Still worried about the
