Kelly Poppinga

BYU's defense, though, that was not up to their standard.

And I guarantee you when we get out in front of the media, Kelly Poppinga is going to own that coming up this week when we talk to him.

He will own the fact that they were unable to generate pressure on Keywon Jenkins.

And yeah, sometimes you just got to tip your... cap to the opposing quarterback and to the opposing offensive line because they just were unable, speaking of BYU, to generate pass rush against him.

And that was really the biggest criticism of UCF's offense of their passing game was they just aren't able to work the ball downfield well enough.

And Kelly Poppinga for BYU was sending heavy pressure.

he threw all three of his touchdowns against the blitz so i think jenkins was just outstanding you look at it overall 25 of 41 293 passing yards 39 rushing yards four total touchdowns including two in the two overtime periods um you can't play much better against the number two team in the country than jenkins did in this game obviously shaky moments with them blowing the lead and then you just had a wild sequence of events at the end of regulation field goal and When did the helmet come off and how much time is left? We just cannot figure out how, how, when there is one second left on the clock in any game this year, we almost had it in the Texas game as well.

They come out of this week with just 13 sacks on the season, which is 96 in the country.

11 of those again.

came in their games against Arizona TCU and Iowa state, right? So the pass rush, they, they get consistent pressure and Kelly Poppinga obviously understands when to blitz and when to send extra pressure and how to get quarterbacks affected in the pocket, but they're not finishing, right? This is two games in a row.

Now we saw how many plays from CJ car against Notre Dame.

He is an agent of havoc.

for defensive coordinator Kelly Poppinga.

And what's incredible, you go back and you watch the BYU-Notre Dame game film, and he comes across as the most athletic and dominant defender on the field.

The guy that really catches your eye, that had the most speed, that had the most game effect.

You

know what's interesting, Greg? I'm going back three and four games now.

Kelly Poppinga has not been overly aggressive.

I'm watching three and four rush every play.

Let's take a brief timeout.

Let's get into a little player profile, finish up some Kelly Poppinga, sound on the flip next coming up.

But don't go anywhere.

You're listening to Cougar Sports right here on 103.9, 98.3 ESPN.

And I thought he stepped up for the occasion.

Let's go to number four right away.

K-Pop, let's stay on that topic.

Were you surprised that Matthias Leach was able to do that?

Number two, BYU football prepares to head to Orlando to take on UCF this Saturday.

Yesterday after practice, offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick and defensive coordinator Kelly Poppinga talked about how the team has shifted focus to UCF after the big win over the Fighting Irish.

We had a good practice today.

Yeah, we, um, our...
