Re: BYU - New Mexico Game thread
I believe the problem is Coach Hill's tendencies. He needs to blitz at unpredictable times. It seemed like he blitzed every time on 3rd down which puts the defense in a bad position to defend screens. I don't blame Hill but he needs to learn that opposing coaches study tendencies as well.

Re: BYU - New Mexico Game thread
I am done with the 3-4. We don't have the type of players to work that system nor do we have them in recruits...
4-3 or bust... hell, I'd even take a 3-3-5 over our 3-4 right now.

I'll take an ugly win over a loss any game on our schedule.
I do think that Air Force will be very, very tough to get a "W" against though...

Re: BYU - New Mexico Game thread
I'm just glad that previous games don't predict how the team will play, as in a WYO blowout didn't equal a UNM blowout.... which means no one can predict we lose to AF or Utah.
And I am twice as glad that this 2nd bye week scrimmage is over so I can look forward to screaming DEFENSE at LES instead of my TV.

Whoever makes less mistakes is going to win that one says my crystal ball.

Re: BYU - New Mexico Game thread
Did these types of plays cause flashbacks to 03-04 BYU defense for anyone else? Those teams were notorious for giving up 3rd down and 75 yard type plays.Matty-B wrote:Is it just me or does BYU always seem to choke on a big play on defense?
Countless 3rd and longs given up, 4th downs... those are the most frustrating things for me to watch
Very Very glad to come out of NM with a win.

Re: BYU - New Mexico Game thread
it is true, however, that Mendenhall has been very successful defending against USAFA. Unless the AFA QB develops a deep pass option, I think BYU will do okay. assignment football is generally a BYU strength. I don't recall AFA using much trickery or deep passing plays.
Plus, this one's at LES.
Oh, wait...
