In that specific game, yes, they turned over the ball a lot, but they also benefited from a bad call resulting in Kai Nacua's ejection and the luckiest play of the season, a gifted pick 6 via a freshman screw up.
Luckiest play in the history of the rivalry was the Heaps backward throw. Bradley's knee determined the outcome of that game. Etc.
If the new reality is that a Utah team loaded with NFL talent can be gifted a pick 6 and the ejection of a key BYU defensive player and still barely eke out a 1-point win over a BYU team running new schemes on both sides of the ball, coached by guys who have never been college coordinators, along with a brand new HC, all by BYU botching the final play of the game -- at Utah -- I'll take it.
