who the opponents of the teams you mentioned were... I EXPECT BYU to allow less yards as a D than idaho states D and UNMST's D and UNM's D you know teh teams who played SJST? USU? and BSU? oregon state I would have to look at and see if they played a decent D last year... Stanford was teh best D in the PAC... and like you said with making excuses for why..they DIDN'T hold oregon state to below their averages
