In this Clinic Series episode from Lauren’s First and Goal, we’re joined by Oregon State Defensive Line Coach Ilaisa Tuiaki, who delivers a data-driven breakdown on how to build a defense that disrupts offensive rhythm, limits points, and takes back possession.
Drawing from both offensive and defensive experience, Coach Tuiaki shares how concepts like Down Series Success Rate (DSSR), third-down creation, and explosive play prevention can reshape defensive strategy. His unique approach reverse-engineers offensive analytics to maximize impact on the scoreboard and field position.
This episode is just a segment of his full clinic talk—available as part of our 120+ speaker virtual clinic series on CoachTube.
Key Takeaways
Why possession and points are the two most important defensive goals
The role of DSSR (Down Series Success Rate) in defensive planning
How to reverse-tool offensive analytics to create smarter calls
The importance of third-down creation and explosive play prevention
Why some high-sack teams actually underperform in scoring defense
