I wouldn’t even attribute the Baylor, Utah, or ASU wins as defensive wins. Unfortunately we’ve grown accustomed to our defense being so porous that when they finally step up and match the offense against a tough opponent we want to heap praise on them.
BYU has been winning due to the offense, which has had its fair share of head scratching performances (ie. tonight), that has to make up for the abysmal defensive effort. We have playmakers on defense but Tuiaki has no idea what he’s doing.
