Re: BYU vs Virginia
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.

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

Re: BYU vs Virginia
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?

Re: BYU vs Virginia
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.

Re: BYU vs Virginia
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.SpiffCoug wrote: ↑Mon Nov 01, 2021 8:34 pm I'm not sure.

Re: BYU vs Virginia
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.BoiseBYU wrote: ↑Tue Nov 02, 2021 8:25 amHaha The second Q was nightmare producing...
