This is apples to oranges. I was under the impression you were talking about comparing rush defenses to other rush defenses.

That's the same team. 29th most yards given up.

So good or bad? That seems like way too few yards given up to be the 29th worst pass defense in football for yardage, unless this is a 25 year old stat.

DJ Eliot is a night and day coordinator in comparison to last year. He called a helluva game.
chev needs to get his head out of his ass...all that short crap can work against the crap teams but against the big boys who play big boy football you need to pass downfield...to have 3 chances from the wash 10 yardline and never throw it into the endzone is redic
Bad.
That's the 2005 Denver Broncos, btw. A team that commonly had early leads and forced their opponents to abandon the run.

Only thing I hated was bringing the house on 4th and 5, and leaving corners on an island with no help over the middle. That's an easy completion almost every time if offense throws a slant.
I was talking about the whole defense unit and even with rush defenses, wouldn't you agree that the one that gives up less yards per carry is the better unit?
Attempts faced
A 337 (fewest)
B 428 (5th fewest)
Total yards given up
A 1267 (fewest)
B 1430 (5th fewest)
Yards per carry
A 3.8 (6)
B 3.3 (1)
Does team A truly have the better run D when it gives up half a yard per carry more than unit B while facing almost 6 fewer rushes a game?
You would’ve been right. We were under 3.5 per carry.
McMillian's last 15 carries went for 22 yards, FWIW.
21 of 26 first downs were runs.
Too many mistakes by the players and coaches to overcome the talent deficit.
UW converted on 4th downs on all 3 of their TD drives.
Chev went way out of his way to protect them today. 35 carries to get 119 yards.

80% runs on first down vs one of the better defenses in the country. Again, I know we were missing Viska and Jmac, and Winfree is still hobbled ... but we have Nixon, Brown, Jackson. Where is Ento? Why not try to get them the ball? I just don’t get it.

Way too many short plays and ran McMillian way too many times in a row. Gave up about 9:00 of clock by my estimate.
I put damn near zero on numbers these days. This football and past football are very different. You can't hit or touch anyone. I guarantee you those numbers wouldn't be there if you could play now. It is what it is, I guess.
Thank you for noting this. I thought I was the only one and it was becoming maddening. Not sure who to blame for it, but everyone saying that Elliot did awesome today apparently did not see this.

So the player was in position to make a play...and didn’t? And this is the coach’s fault? This site is exhausting.
Yes. If it’s one player doing it over and over, it’s the player. If it’s every player but 2, it’s coaching.

Just finished watching the game on DVR, what a boring game. A few observations- our offense is non existent without Laviska, our run game sucks, and the red zone offense is pretty bad. Good news is we beat Oregon state next week and are bowl eligible.

I don't think it's fair to say (not that anyone is saying explicitly this) that Montez had a bad game. He was 10/12 at half and really did not get put in very many great situations by the staff.
I still believe Montez is a great QB at CU and his best moments are ahead of him.

that was your basic "moral victory" game.
we kept it close and executed. we just didn't have the bodies.
without naming names, our offensive line got ****ing rolled. i was super pleased to see a whole bunch of guys catch passes. i thought our play calling had many, many questionable moments.
i thought our defense played well, considering a whole bunch of factors; what i would say overall about the defense is that we are generally well-coached and that translates to generally being in position.
we are what we thought we were (dennis green, kinda). we can win out. i honestly believe that. but, i hope that the involvement of a bunch of guys on offense opens up some game planning.

After rewatching...
Udub mostly lined up in these formations nearly all game...
3-2-6
2-1-8
4-1-6
5-1-5
4-2-5
They dared us to run against these fronts all game. We obliged and got no push in the 2H. I don’t care about being predictable. These fronts meant that they didn’t respect our OL’s ability to block them at all. Their DL really dominated. They were getting pressure even when they had the 2, 3, and 4 man fronts.

Thanks for going into this. Hard to run a screen game or even go deep if you can't protect against 3 much less 4.
