I have basically been saying our d is around average based on all the stats

I have seen and this just reinforces that idea. Our defense is not horrible. It’s pretty much average.

Which I will admit is disappointing but not something to freak out over. Bronco totally spoiled us. That guy is an elite defensive mind.

BYU opponents' YPP against BYU, and against everyone else...

Good job

Oregon took their foot off the gas against us. They were at 8.36 YPP ...

This is why we use averages.

Your understanding of statistics is . . . incomplete. At best.

I'm not the one cherry-picking data to make a predetermined point.

shoganai

Wrong. Both in terms of what I am doing and what you are doing wrong.

Coop

Works both ways though. USF, Wyoming, and USU picked up yards when BYU took

For sure.

No. You are dead wrong in this case because you are cherry-picking one subset of

Just stop. You clearly don’t know what you are doing.

Coop

Interesting you would say that because you just agreed with my point when

shoganai

You didn't make that point at all. It is a valid point, and I would have ...

I'm sorry if you felt I was being uncivil at any point.

They aren’t. They aren’t valid or relevant if they are misleading.

Good stats stop counting those plays/drives at end of blowout

The issue isn’t yards per possession. But long drives.

Weber State's D is other worldly

That is a very weird outlier.

The game was a freak accident. Bonner threw two of the dumbest picks I've seen

Bronco had a few mediocre defenses of his own through the years.

shoganai

9/30/22 2:30pm

Problem is a mediocre defense is a good year for Tuiaki.

ManicBlue

Agreed! we're about average. Question is if we're seeing upward trajectory

runnincoug

9/30/22 2:33pm

IMO, we won't see any upward trajectory until our recruiting improves.

shoganai

9/30/22 2:35pm

I don't disagree, so why is our recruiting improving in every area EXCEPT dline?

runnincoug

9/30/22 2:37pm

Per kotacoug it’s 100% scheme…I disagree but thought I’d speak for him today

Our most recent DL recruiting seems to be quite strong.

shoganai

9/30/22 2:44pm

I think that’s true. Hopefully the recent defensive line commitments really

But we can lose a WR, DB, RB, OL person and have the depth to be fine

runnincoug

You won’t get an argument from me that defense needs better recruitment.

TempeCoug

87th in rushing yards allowed isn’t average

Our run D is obviously our weakness. That was pretty well assumed coming into

What’s the pass d ranked?
