Byu isn’t close to that. Byu does lack their running game. Those other offenses are elite. BYUs is just very good

Depth, the problem for BYU…

And yet fans think all that is needed is a couple of new coaches, good

So you're content to be a mediocre program from now on? smh

no, but that's what it is. BYU's been a 8-5 / 9-4 program for 50 years with an

No one is saying we should be seeing 10-2 records every year. Problem is without changes we're likely

ManicBlue

OK, I agree with that. We need IMO 4-5 coaches replaced. I really don't want to

No, problem is that you believe your suggested changes will do more than is possible now with guys who really are doing

As a fan, you have few options but being content...

Sure I do. Stop buying my season tickets and donating to the CC. Just like people did when Reid was the BB coach.

You are correct...that is an option, but im not sure that go you want you wanted

Coaches are responsible for depth.

How about just not a bottom ten defense? Apparently too much to ask

BYU '80

11/22/22 2:18am

There are 6 teams in the top 25 with 50th or worse defenses.

BYU having an elite offense last year is what masked how bad our defense was. As you said,

I think those top notch S & C staffs at places like Alabama are getting the help of top shelf pharmaceuticals.

PJMort

11/22/22 8:04am

I don’t think #4 is accurate. Alabama keeps a lot of player on the bench

ThatBYUFan

11/22/22 10:46am

Sure but they have players transfer too and not every team is Alabama that is competing for a NC every year.

ManicBlue

I don't think there are too many fans who have expectations of BYU competing

Removing 2020 is inappropriate in this analysis. Defensive efficiency adjusts

The reason for removing 2020 wouldn’t be because it doesn’t fit the narrative

Also, BYU did not play ANY P5 schools in 2020. Our SOS in 2020 was 106 which is not even close to normal or

The issue(s) is / are scheme and depth. Both are big issues.

Those are challenges and a good coach will not use that as an excuse....
