The Cougars get a big win in Sin City and Ben Criddle decided to sin in spite of Walt Hanssen and put together a film review that made a 3-8 record never feel so good.
BYU goes w/ 4 man rush w/ an inside twist. Corbin Kaufusi w/ a great "get off",gets to the contact point & a double hand swipe succeeds #BYU pic.twitter.com/XZFgX6Q9sF

Watch timing of double hand swipe,he squares up slightly before contact, creates more power to swat both hands down of the OT. #BYU #Kaufusi pic.twitter.com/wUkVwxvVGS

Word to the wise defensive players, "Quick Game" always comes out in the first few series to get QB's in rhythm. You can jump routes early pic.twitter.com/IiDh572ZFE

It would appear that BYU is running man concepts here. Zayne flows with the wing, if so Micah should not be outside leverage and should not give up the "easier" route to complete, "post". pic.twitter.com/i8tWbdmowb

3&4/11pers/AceLTGun/YDig/HDrive.
Pre snap motion shows Critchlow UNLV is in man coverage & pressure is coming. Safety gets confused as Bushman Presses up field to dig, allowing Hifo to go untouched on drive. Critch anticipates blitz steps back throws w/touch, flicks wrist w/ loft pic.twitter.com/TZJEfalMSO— Benjamin Criddle (@CriddleBenjamin) November 11, 2017
For some reason when BYU blitzes, the back end (Secondary/LB's) don't know who to cover and mistakes happen. 2&8 & BYU comes w/ 6 man pressure. Appears Kaufusi could be a spy as he delays. Zone cov to field, nobody takes the swing to the boundary, nice hit by Zayne Train tho. pic.twitter.com/Qqu4LBcOh6

You get a lot of man coverage in the RZ, Ty takes advantage of it by putting Aleva in the slot. 3&4/11pers/AceLTGun/TripsRt/Fcorner. Perfect ball from Critchlow. Great foot control from Hifo. BYU finally getting into an offensive groove with their new QB, on pace for 28 points. pic.twitter.com/XjNwnSZroe

These 2&5's have been incompletions all year. Bushman keeps working after his route is done. Critchlow gets a bit antsy but is poised enough to throw a strike and the Bushmaster hauls it in for the first down. Concerned that WR's at bottom of screen are running same route tho? pic.twitter.com/j69tO74xHi

1&10/12pers/AcePistol/Deuce/HDive. Squally used to go down on first contact. He breaks 3 tackles before getting stymied, but doesn't go down! He gains 6 yards and worked for every inch. I know it's UNLV, but they are better than at least 3 teams we have played this year. pic.twitter.com/82DhuIQZyg

Yes he needs to get that right foot in, I wish the ball was a bit more inside, I'm quick to forget that this is a 🏈 from a Frosh to Soph pic.twitter.com/tqaI8Io7cy

I know it's UNLV, but they could go bowling this year. Great lead by El-Bakri, always doing the dirty work. Squally shows good burst through the hole, makes a good decision to not expose himself to a possible fumble once his RPM's began redlining.Longest of Squally's career 53yds pic.twitter.com/tH5LR54eRn

Bail technique in man coverage is risky business in the RZ, if you're going to bail you had better maintain inside leverage. Force them to throw the fade route. Post is too easy to complete. TakiTaki with a fantastic hesitation club and rip move vs. the LT of UNLV. pic.twitter.com/2ms0CjDMmt

Critchlow make a check or confirms original play, either way he makes the right decision at the line of scrimmage w/ the PA boot. Deep out route by Talon Shumway, good catch and keeps his feet in bounds. pic.twitter.com/mIDA05o0Pu

Critical 3rd down, Langi Tuifua is finally healthy and he looks it, dominated the TE and splitting the dbl team chip. Nice force by Tapusoa pic.twitter.com/L1Q5pGLsLp

Gotta be able to keep eyes on QB and WR at same take to become a great DB. Double move makes Hanneman bite on the initial eye candy. Nice pass rush by TakiTaki once again. UNLV's LT has no self esteem left this game. Stanton throws a perfect ball not allowing MH to make up ground pic.twitter.com/vKbTEvoUjS
— Benjamin Criddle (@CriddleBenjamin) November 11, 2017
I don't care if this is a man free concept, these DB's have to stop playing outside leverage all the time. The post is way too easy to complete. Change your initial alignment inside, you can still keep your eyes inside on QB as you get you read or shuffle step! SMH too easy! pic.twitter.com/iiL5vhAJPk
— Benjamin Criddle (@CriddleBenjamin) November 11, 2017
Can't emphasize this enough, when the ball gets there on time and QB hits them in stride, it always athletes to get YAC. That's how you move the chains, that's how you get chunk yardage plays with low risk high percentage throws. pic.twitter.com/l7qs0dqcao

Great timing and feel by Chris Wilcox, he's learning ladies and gents.Understanding and reading body language of a WR is critical to success pic.twitter.com/zpQsIk2hx5

I know it's an massive initial hole,but Squally makes the 1st, 2nd & 3rd guy miss after he gets up field. So proud of Squally Canada! #BYU pic.twitter.com/x9grsi7Kus

Zayne Train Andersen w/ his 2nd career INT. Notice initial alignment is inside & 10 yards off ball. Wide base b/c he wants to move laterally & not get too much depth b/c of the restricted field. This allows him to make a declarative break at the goaline & undercut route for INT pic.twitter.com/JdvjJZV8j6
