I'm not sure. But I just remember re-watching and thinking, hey look! We're not bringing only three. That's four DL lining up and rushing there.

I'd have to go back, rewatch, and count how many times we lined up 3 or 4 DL in each half. And I'm not sure I want to have the pain of that 2nd quarter.
Haha The second Q was nightmare producing... Well it isn't scientific but I do not recall a three man rush in the first half and my recollection was seeing a three man rush a lot in the second half--and interestingly, at least from my memory too, our three man rush produced as much if not more pressure on the QB than our four man rush....Whatever happened, the second half was a good half of D.

I watched Sitake's interview post game. He said the biggest difference was rotating guys in the second half so everyone was fresh. makes sense. Towards the end of the 2nd Q guys looked a bit gassed, trying to arm tackle, missing a lot of tackles etc.

In my rewatch today, I was surprised how much BYU had a 4-man DL in 2nd half.

Was it as much as the first half, can you tell? My visual (TV watching) was that we went much more 3-man rush in the second half than the first.....but maybe that impression is wrong?

Man, I'm so surprised how that second half went. D stepped up big time. TA a man among boys. This is a good team!

One more P5 team to go. Let's hope we stay healthy the next couple of weeks and finish strong!

The crazy thing is BYU went with the 3 man rush and drop 8 zone in the second half, where the first half was much more man press coverage.

Allgeier now is second in touchdowns in the NCAA but first in rushing touchdowns. He is third in both rushing yards and rushing yards per game. He has to be on the short list for running back All American. I feel bad about their qb Armstrong, he was leading the nation in passing yards and was a Heisman candidate. Allgeier should now be a candidate.

I did NOT think BYU could compete with Virginia in a track meet. This was an impressive win. The defense got turnovers and forced a couple punts. After giving up 35 points with no offensive turnovers in the 3rd quarter I didn't think there was any way the defense was going to be able to keep Virginia from scoring at will in the second half. The meat of the schedule is over, we get Idaho State, a bye, Georgia Southern and a bad USC team to end the season. I think BYU is going to end the season with 10 wins. That is an impressive thing to do with this schedule. Imagine if we don't have the hiccup against Boise State.

If you told me VA would only score 7 in the second half after that second quarter, I’d said you were nuts. Team did something right to slow down VA.
