BYU notebook: The Cougars’ running backs and offensive linemen share blame for the team's early season struggles.
BYU running back Christopher Brooks during an NCAA college football game against South Florida Saturday, Sept. 3, 2022, in Tampa, Fla.The first order of business for BYU against the Wyoming Cowboys this week will be getting a disappointing running game on track.
It isn’t like just one player on the offensive line is bringing the whole run-blocking scheme down either. Against Oregon, no player on the line graded above a 62 in run blocking, per PFF. Every lineman is within the 62-50 range on the grading scale — all below average. Against the Ducks, the Cougars’ defense struggled to stop the run when just a week before it had put together one of its best run-stopping performances in years.Here is the good news for BYU. Wyoming is a run-heavy offense — and the Cowboys run a very similar scheme to what Baylor did two weeks ago.
Their absence wasn’t the entire reason why BYU wasn’t able to stop the run. However, their addition is a welcome sign for a group reeling.
