We were press box for the SMU game and watched the KState game live on the pod last week (check out the Saturday live stream) and yes we're impressed with BYU
5:09 Only 4 games in but you are right BYU did keep SMU out of the end zone, however I think both teams had 3 turnovers. In those 4 games BYU allowed no passing TD’s. KSU hurt themselves but BYU took advantage and scored on short fields. GO COUGS!
This Baylor game represents a history of BYU collapses after a strong start. I do think this defense is different and will do everything they can to keep BYU in the game
We lost our Super-Sr C & his backup in the 2nd quarter. And our starting OG had to slide over & fill the C spot as our 3rd stringer. Our OTHER guard was on his 2nd start filling in for another injured Starter. There were definitely personnel issues behind that 2nd half stagnation/collapse. Also, we were without our star RB (LJ Martin) for the fourth successive game, our RB2 (Ropati), & our (I think) clearly second best RB (& star of the KState win) -- Sione Moa. We needed ALL of that big lead just to hold on. Proud of our guys (particularly the D) for holding on. We knew going into that that Baylor was being underrated. The really ain't a bad squad. Their QB is quite incredible, actually. He has a future ahead of him, for sure.
@@dalecaswell4217 well said and hard agree on everything you said here. I have Baylor knocking off Iowa State this weekend. They haven’t faced any real threats at receiver and those Baylor wideouts looked NFL ready. Great points about the injuries. I truly hope that Sonny Makasini can produce even a fraction of what Pay was doing for us. If we see weird play calling, there may be some restriction due to the center position. I really hope not. I REALLY hope we see Moa next weekend. I believe in him more than LJ honestly
6:52 Baylor is favored in part because BYU has such a poor recent record of winning in early day away games against Power teams. They did not win a single away game in the Big 12 last year. Many consider the win against KSU a total fluke. Baylor is angry about last weeks loss and is playing at home and knows BYU pretty well. GO COUGS!
BYU dominated SMU & K-State defensively, gave up ZERO touchdowns to those teams. The TDs scored by the other 2 teams were mostly garbage time vs the 3rd stringers
Some turnovers are actually take-aways. The crowd may have helped with adrenaline and a few false start calls. BYU has not given up a touchdown in 4 games. That doesn't seem like a fluke to me.
Did you watch the BYU games. Super huge Defense!!

Definitely. I think byu could make some noise with a win this weekend

...Also, have not allowed a passing TD and have not allowed a TD to either K St. or SMU
Crazy impressive

That makes the most sense for that line, otherwise it feels like BYU should be favored!
How much was it Kansas state/SMU making mistakes vs BYU forcing mistakes?
Tough question, but I'm tempted to say that since they've done it twice there's something about the defense that really works against run first qbs

It's been a solid defense!

Definitely not a fluke! The Cougs are better than advertised!
BYU is always a supriser.
Good bad and ugly
They do have that in them most years. They always seem like they can jump up and beat a team they shouldn't

Fully agree! They've been impressive so far
