Speaking of ARod... can anyone explain his obsession with the short side of the field?

And why was he calling a running play on 3rd and 6 in the 1st half when our

Hinta

He said he called an RPO and they would go for it on 4th if they got more than 2

Actually, he said Jaron should have taken the pass option (and had two receivers available).

That's what I was meaning when I said he should have kept it. Kept it to pass

SUAVO

You guys know there is a weekly show called Coordinator's Corner where our coaches talk about things like this, right?

kccougar

9/28/22 10:14am

I'm amazed how many alleged BYU football fans have no idea about these shows

Mayor of Cougartown

Do your think these shows can even come close to matching the CB Brain Trust?

Bad pass defense, good rush defense and great at getting sacks

gohogs14

They averaged 3.6 yards per rush, and that was after the awful first quarter where they averaged over 7. The D tightened

I feel like our D figured it out after the 1st quarter. I wonder what their yards per rush were each quarter.

For second half it was over 5 yds/carry

Goliath

9/28/22 12:47pm

They just put the number of yards, you have to look at the start and end lines to figure +/-

molodyets

9/28/22 12:50pm

Yup. It will say a rush for 3 yards on 1st and 10 and then the next play is 2nd and 13.

cheezedawg

9/28/22 12:53pm

Correct. I didn't recognize that when I first looked at it.

Goliath

9/28/22 1:29pm

Not really. If that stat is true, it's only because sacks are included.

Goliath

9/28/22 10:18am

That’s not what the stats show. They rushed for 23 yards in the 2nd half or 2 yards per carry. That includes 1 sack for

But Utah State could injure more of our D

CharlottesvilleCoug

Fun narrative. In truth after the first drive Wyoming run game was shut down

Blueto

9/28/22 10:15am

Only if you include sacks. So not really the full story

Goliath

9/28/22 10:20am

But including sacks is the part of the game/full story.:)

Bluedarts

9/28/22 2:02pm

Yes. If you take out sacks, tfls, or tackles after short gains....it looks bad.

Blueto

9/28/22 10:31am

That's clever

Goliath

9/28/22 10:34am

but those are things that happened in the game so maybe don't take them all out?

Yes because teams only run the same plays they have already run that season and take the exact same approach they have..

You love DFEI, except for 2019 when it had us top ten. But you need to ignore

Blueto

DFEI for 2019 was a rank of #66. Are you trying to manipulate numbers?

The numbers have shown the D is marginal over 4 games this year. And years prior

You have a 3, 2, and 7 that should be -3, -2, and -7, which results in 36.

Your characterization of the run D isn't accurate.

i mean, that's not what happened and after the first 2 drives we stuffed the run game.

Go back and look at 3rd drive they ran it effectively

#78 in rushing yards allowed per rush according to ESPN.

ESPN also has BYU as #34 in Total D, but the NCAA has BYU at #37 in Total D.
