Another week, another beat down for the BYU Cougars. Some have blamed Ben Criddle’s Sunday film study as reason for BYU’s struggles. Erroneous! The film review goes on!
Trinn is dynamic returner but needs room to get to top end, 3 missed blocks on opening kick allow badgers to limit him from hitting seam rt pic.twitter.com/QbTsb5rOwd

Here's another angle on INT. I like the RB on the angle route, but throw to TE isn't bad decision given cov. Lead to sideline float over LB pic.twitter.com/YmYysEeGyy

Great sequential play calling from Ty! Ran inside zone 4-5 times, then hits them w/ inside trap,pull OG/kick out w/ TE, gain of 23. pic.twitter.com/hkPWwbgtOd

As FS/SS vs prostyle, get run/pass read immediately. PA here, obv pass, when u know ur beat, run 2 hip &rake nearest arm, force 1 hand catch pic.twitter.com/bdNQmMInAC

Here's another angle. Both Troy/Micah beat by Danny Davis III (fastest WR) know your competition. If u go near arm and rake it, it's a PBU pic.twitter.com/j3A9yqlaJ1

Only way u can stop talented rush gm like Wiscy's, get run read on down blocks quick from LB's/S's. Watch how slow we r to fill empty space pic.twitter.com/kkzhAlMAGL

Wiscy was just a better team. We call perfect defensive play call. Slant to boundary. Kesni squeezes, we meet RB 1 yd passed LOS, 1st down. pic.twitter.com/9pjq4tFo7e

Handsome and Tonga looking good on their slants, just can't wrap up RB. Merrill has to take on OT & lead FB. Too much force to stop on GL pic.twitter.com/61errA3Wgi

Austin Kafentzis is going to be a good RB for the cougars in future.QB lead w/ pulling OG gets you in one of your few 2&shorts of the season pic.twitter.com/2ALRatg5Dx

BYU has not had many 3rd & shorts. Even tho strong side DE doesn't declare to inside zone, I like 1on1 matchup on the edge on the QB keep pic.twitter.com/AQjucSopqU

We didn't show pressures too often,Mike blitz, Tonga nice shuck/scrape of dbl, Superb job of Troy Warner getting a run read/filling/wrapping pic.twitter.com/6bl91lBlN2

I've given up my fair share of digs in zone cov. 1. Digs r tuff 2 guard. 2. LB depth/drop helps 3. Always drive thru WR when he bobbles ball pic.twitter.com/njGAy4Us3N

Another angle: once he's declared inside/stem you can try to covert it by going under route, but that's typically a man free tech not zone pic.twitter.com/a49IVYjXLb

2 man route, SS/CB have vertical bottom of screen. Weak side FS needs to buy the climb route from TE. Too easy. Always Look for work. pic.twitter.com/iFA57GAnNL
