I thought he had a couple of nice catches vs UCLA, but I’m too lazy to look it up

I’ve actually been wondering the same thing, and I, for one, found the responses that tried to explain the reasoning quite illuminating.

I have never been good at accepting “because I said so” as legitimate reasoning, but I also got into trouble a lot as a kid.

In reading more about this, the conclusion I came to is that defenses prepare for o…[Read more]

Guess that’s a no …

Fantastic points – thanks – and, thanks for the tip about Olsen’s breakdown on the Oregon game. Very illuminating!!

I agree those are things that Utah can improve on – will it translate to a South championship? No way to know. Can’t hurt

Not sure I understand your question – when did I say anything about a rebuilt team?

What I said is that Utah is third in total wins since the beginning of the league. The team that is first, USC, has a single (shared) Pac12 South crown. The team that is last, Colorado, has a single Pac12 South crown. UCLA has two, despite the fact that they…[Read more]

Last year, the Utes were both good and lucky

So, which part of the year was lucky? The part where we lost so many OLinemen that we were down to our 5th string walk on center? The part where all four RBs went down, and we had to beg Joe Williams to come out of retirement?

With all due respect, you’re letting your disappointment cloud your…[Read more]

Better, but not ideal

Oh well

Good idea – spaces weren’t working – thanks

We haven’t gotten pressure – it’s not an opinion – it’s in the numbers:

2017 Opportunity Rate 27th – respectable, but not elite
2017 Power Success Rate 118th – OUT OF 129 TEAMS (that’s really bad)

Yes, but then I typed it in manually, and I still couldn’t create columns – advice?

We haven’t gotten pressure this year – and it’s due to a lack of execution, not the system. Pease’s system applied more pressure than Tuiaki/Sitake, and Powell has regressed in 2017 in the ‘pressure’ areas – look at the numbers:

Front 7 Havoc – Tuiaki 15th, Pease 7th, Powell (2016) 11th, Powell (2017) 68th
Stuff Rate – Tuiaki 72nd, Pease 19th,…[Read more]

You got that right

Yeah, I can’t seem to fix it.

I’ll try to decode what I’ve posted here

Each category has four numbers; each number from left to right is the national rank of Tuiaki, Pease, Powell 2016 and Powell 2017.

Hope that helps

But, you can compare success:

Def S&P Pease: 18th nationally (best since 2014)
Rush D S&P Pease: 4th nationally (best since 2014)

Wow, the format is seriously effed up

I’m trying to fix it – apologies
