Everyman All-American

that Utah had scored at least one defensive TD, in each of the previous 17 seasons. A quick look shows that they score two more in 2020 (USC, Washington State).

It’s what they do.

The streak by the numbers

Everyman

Bradley's knee was down.

CopperLix

6/9/21 3:07pm

We won the turnover battle in '16?

paulb

6/9/21 3:08pm

Yes, Utah coughed up the ball a ton that game. Our offense was just completely

Kavorka

Didn't help that Jamaal got injured

rggee

6/9/21 3:11pm

Very true. And we had two DBs get tossed for garbage targeting calls on back to

Kavorka

Just went back and watched the plays. Such garbage calls.

I’m still mad about the crappy two point play

I'mBatman

6/9/21 3:23pm

Everyone in the stadium or at home knew the play they would run.

Everyman

6/9/21 3:45pm

and it still almost worked.

Most of their TOs that game took points away from them, but didn't result in points for us.

Turnpike Lane

6/9/21 3:12pm

Unreal to have outgained them offensively four times during the losing streak.

Kavorka

6/9/21 3:09pm

Helpful to also look at the score for each game to see the margin of victory. So

BYU-LawMan

6/9/21 3:17pm

So Utah it better at getting turnovers or is lucky?

TomPetty

6/9/21 3:21pm

High pressure D = better

Turnpike Lane

Thiamine disagrees

mudpupper

6/9/21 3:32pm

BYU crapping their britches = lucky

I don't know what the true numbers are, but it feels like a pick-6 happens

probably both, and Whit's deal with the devil

Wonder what the odds of Getting 6 turnovers and losing are

cougfanz

6/9/21 3:33pm

need to add the final scores as painful as that may be.

Pangare

6/9/21 3:44pm

Done

Everyman

6/9/21 3:49pm

Thanks....and it was painful.

Pangare

6/9/21 4:12pm

Man. Painful. 2015 and 2016 are vomit-inducing while 2011 makes me

BYU-LawMan

6/9/21 3:53pm

Defensive TD's are MIND BLOWING.

COUGZ

6/9/21 3:56pm

yeah. I think that is our guys letting them get into their heads.

Pangare

6/9/21 4:15pm

Thats silly. Its no coincidence. Its coaching, talent, and execution.

Backcountry

6/10/21 11:34am

Actually it is mental. Utah doesn't have close to that number of defensive td's

palangi

6/10/21 1:22pm

In 2019 alone, they had 3 defensive TDs against PAC 12 opponents.

Everyman

6/10/21 2:05pm

One or two is luck. Doing it every year for 2 decades isnt.

Backcountry

6/10/21 2:17pm

I never said it was luck I said it was mental. Utah doesn't have that level of

palangi

6/10/21 4:45pm

6 turnovers and BYU still can’t win. Smh

Princepete

6/9/21 4:13pm

Out of 36 quarters played during the streak, how many quarters did you lead?

Yergensen

6/9/21 4:26pm

BYU held the lead for the majority of 8 quarters. 22%

UnicycleUte

6/9/21 5:14pm

Leads by quarters is misleading. BYU doesn't show up until 2nd quarter at best.

CougarThug

6/9/21 5:18pm

My calculations are based on minutes played.

UnicycleUte

6/9/21 5:52pm

I’d be interested in knowing how many other Defensive touchdowns did all other

I think after 4 years it became a mental block, find ways to lose.

LEDSFW

6/9/21 7:10pm

It was a mental block LONG before the streak. We play tight. They play loose.

What I despise is yewts acting as if they’re so above us when in reality almost

BleedCougarBlue2

6/9/21 11:13pm

Most games have not been agonizingly close. False and uninformed narrative.

Backcountry

6/10/21 10:57am

Uhhh.....the score is the score. Maybe not in your world?

BleedCougarBlue2

6/10/21 11:12am

The score is a small part of the big picture

Backcountry

6/10/21 11:26am

Most games come down to the final minutes and could have gone either way.

CougarGM

6/10/21 12:47pm

Only recently has Utah been much of a favorite in Vegas point spread

TomPetty

6/10/21 12:56pm

Utah rarely blows teams out. The play tough D, force turnover, and play a run

Backcountry

6/10/21 2:19pm

"rarely?" Uh, wrong. If you have a game ending field goal to win or you are
