Coop Intervention Needed

... be the baseline, and we gave up a decent number of points to an offense that has struggled.

The ranking will also depend on what other teams do, of course. Our rating went down after Wyoming, but our ranking actually went up by 1.

What can BYU do to be competitive against ND

Stack the box

Flippy

Yeah that's not the scheme

TNT

Start by putting more than 5 men in the box!!!

Play defense the way they did against Baylor, max protect and throw deep on O

Coop

9/30/22 12:05pm

mix it up by dropping 8 one play, then 9 the next play.

It's not a bad matchup for us if we're relatively healthy. They're more like

ND looked strong against UNC

Archaea

9/30/22 12:07pm

UNC's defense is really bad. Worse than ours? Possibly, though not certainly.

Coop

9/30/22 12:08pm

They are far, far worse than ours. It's not really even close.

shoganai

9/30/22 12:09pm

Only four games in. Confidence intervals are really wide.

Coop

9/30/22 12:11pm

I will go on the record now with absolute certainty that our defense is far

shoganai

BYU #37. UNC #126

If you aren't adjusting for SOS, you are wasting your time and everyone else's

Coop

9/30/22 12:12pm

Good point. As of the end of Week 4 UNC's SOS was 86th according to Sagarin.

So what's your adjustment to your raw rankings, then?

No, my responses are clearly applicable.

Coop

There will not be close to a 20-30 position swing this week unless UNC pulls out

SP+ is an adjusted PPG, so I think we will see a decent drop there

Coop

9/30/22 12:32pm

SP+ is based on efficiency models.

If we were trying to compare #30 with #40 I'd agree. I think #37 v #126 is a valid data point

kccougar

FEI has BYU D #60 and UNC #117 after 4 games

Turnpike Lane

Everybody looks strong against UNC this year.

shoganai

9/30/22 12:09pm

How many did BYU give up to lowly UsU?

Archaea

9/30/22 12:10pm

20 prior to garbage time.

shoganai

9/30/22 12:11pm

And 10 should be credited

Archaea

9/30/22 12:25pm

You mean the #126 rated defense? That UNC?

kccougar

9/30/22 12:09pm

drop 11 on pass plays. Rush 11 on run plays

Have the coaches put in some time in the prep. room so they are not surprised.
