Wonder where they get the 10 out of 11 number? I can't think of any combination

of defensive players I've seen on the field that would give us 10 of 11.

Seems like an intentional exaggeration similar to when opponents identify their youngest 17 year old player and BYU's oldest 25 year old player and pretend as if that disparity exists at every position.

I wonder why they don't encourage their players to go on missions.

It isn't true there are no advantages

Disadvantages clearly outweight any advantages for most players.

Most schools couldn't do it, because a player would rather go to a school that

BYU's penalties suggest that greater maturity and self-control are hypothetical

Yup. Best response is tell other teams they can recruit future missionaries too.

average team age would only matter if every player were playing significant time
