Against Wyo BYU rushed 4 or 5 and sometimes 6. It didn't matter, the Wyo OL was

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

Coug

9/28/22 10:08am

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

Hinta

9/28/22 10:10am

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).

kccougar

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

SUAVO

9/28/22 10:45am

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

9/28/22 10:26am

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

9/28/22 11:28am

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

cheezedawg

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

HarlemCoug

For second half it was over 5 yds/carry

I copied from espn

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

cheezedawg

BYU got one sack for a loss of 7 yards.

Pili played all of the wyoming game. I think you mean Tooley

Mayor of Cougartown

But Utah State could injure more of our D

CharlottesvilleCoug

9/28/22 12:13pm

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.:)

Absolutely agree. But a complete picture breaks down which is which

You can't compare BYU breaking down the various groupings to generally available

Tell me you didn't watch the whole game without telling me you didn't watch the

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?

Mayor of Cougartown

9/28/22 10:46am

The original post was talking about rushing attempts. Taking out sac yardage is

No manipulation needed. Cold hard facts show that the D is marginal at best. The

Yes because BYU knew ahead of time exactly what Wyoming was going to run on O.

There was 3 games to see what the 100 ranked offensive team in the country

kotacoug

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

You aren’t saying anything that we don’t all know. Good/great DCs show that they

Don’t mistake me complaining about the D as not enjoying the season. The past

If not for the clearly incompetent/biased officials, the BYU D would have held Wyoming to 10 points

HarlemCoug

9/28/22 3:57pm

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

Blueto

9/28/22 4:00pm

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

Just checked on ESPN and its actually #55

Why did we let them gain any yards at all? Sheesh! Also kinda sucks that our

9/28/22 3:24pm

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

kotacoug

9/28/22 3:46pm

I have literally never claimed that. But, after a quick 10 points, the defense

BYU had 1 sack for a 7 yard loss.

I think the run defense was ineffective for 1st half, you don’t have to paint a

But you're not painting the entire picture. Their 2nd drive they also rushed 3

Well... The 8 yard part sucks, but the rest is awesome. Love it! Hope to see

Is that a prophecy, prediction, feared outcome or something else? I assume you

basman

The run defense was very good in the second half

If surrendering over 5 yds/carry is very good, then I guess

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.

LifeLongLakerFan

9/28/22 10:52am

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

molodyets

9/28/22 11:35am

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

FMOCIE

9/28/22 11:43am

Did you go to a school that actually teaches math? Might want to rerun those #s.

Still waiting.

Well if you really want to know we rank #81 in yds per rush allowed so…

BYU is #81 in rushing yards allowed/game. The BYU D is #59 rushing yards/attempt

slatecoug

9/28/22 4:09pm

#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.

Our run game and in particular our RB's have underperformed in 2 of the 4 games this year.

BYU ran for 17 more yards on 10 fewer carries against Wyoming than Air Force did the week before.

You may be right. There was a glimmer of hope with Davis, but it also might have
