WY didn't have all star WR, why not focus on stopping run and force them to pass

That was what didn't make sense. We had 6 in the box most of the 1st half and they ran right through us. If our DBs are the strength as so many have said since summer camp, why not focus on stopping the run against G5 mediocre team? We figured things out as game went on but not sure why the initial game plan was to allow them to have advantage in run game...especially after showing so weak the week before.

Play-by-play analysis of BYU's defensive alignments vs Wyoming (hint: very conservative)

Bronco was great at mixing up looks

He's been gone for 7 years.

And?

And nobody cares what was done 7 years ago. He's gone. Stop longing for him.

Understand, you want to forget BYU history.

I said nothing about the knowledge of history. However, being so willing to forget/ignore what a very competent

You're really jumping to conclusions that I never said or insinuated. lol

Broncos defenses were very stout against the run. Not so great against

I hear you.

Didn't you jump to conclusions about what maxpowers may have insinuated? Why do you think he "longs for his return"?

Can you do that for every game and play? I would love that data.

I wish I could. Maybe if I retire someday haha...but then I'd want to collect more data, and make it searchable, etc.

Excellent analysis

9/27/22 4:15am

Perhaps you ignore how backups don’t react and play more complicated

Archaea

Wouldn't it make it easier to compensate for missed assignments by putting bodies where the play is designed to go?

cscougar

Apparently not.

This is a question I would love some insight on

Awesome objective data! If you’re bored one day, please do the Oregon game

Dwreck

Pretty much nailed it. Tuiaki hamstrings his own defense. The statistics show

Yup - why would you want to play in this system?

9/27/22 7:12am

That's a valid point. Aside from coming to BYU because of the school...

Not to mention, he'd only play half the snaps—at best. We sub out all of our best defensive players multiple times per

I think the data would be very different for the Baylor game. I think the D was much more aggressive but that is my

9/27/22 8:15am

I think you're right about the Baylor game, and also the Utah game last year. The Oregon game OTOH, and many others...

Here's a fact. BYU has played exactly 2 teams with P5 talent. 2.

The sad thing is that everything the offense does is to mitigate poor coaching

kotacoug

Good data, supports the narrative of vanilla defense and failure to adjust.

here's to hoping

9/27/22 11:33am

We are going to ride that vanilla defense until we can't no more gosh dang it!

Also supports the amazing win-loss record the last 2 years plus this year

I read posts like these and I sincerely hope that BYU is doing this kind of analysis. But I’m not sure they are.
